Bitstamp 透過新的 MTF 許可證擴展產品範圍

透過獲得斯洛維尼亞證券市場管理局頒發的多邊交易設施（MTF）許可證，Bitstamp 不斷完善其歐盟監管

Major cryptocurrency exchange Bitstamp has secured a Multilateral Trading Facility (MTF) license from the Securities Market Agency in Slovenia, enabling the exchange to expand its product offerings and regulatory footprint within the European Union (EU).

主要加密貨幣交易所 Bitstamp 已獲得斯洛維尼亞證券市場管理局頒發的多邊交易設施 (MTF) 許可證，使該交易所能夠擴大其在歐盟 (EU) 內的產品供應和監管足跡。

This license will allow Bitstamp to add new products, such as crypto derivatives, to its platform. Specifically, the exchange will be able to offer perpetual swaps, which are a type of derivative that allows traders to speculate on the price of a cryptocurrency without an expiration date.

該許可證將允許 Bitstamp 在其平台上添加新產品，例如加密貨幣衍生品。具體來說，該交易所將能夠提供永續掉期，這是一種衍生品，允許交易者在沒有到期日的情況下推測加密貨幣的價格。

With the addition of crypto derivatives to its product lineup, Bitstamp will be able to cater to the growing demand from institutional and retail investors for more complex and regulated financial instruments within the cryptocurrency market.

透過在其產品陣容中添加加密衍生品，Bitstamp 將能夠滿足機構和散戶投資者對加密貨幣市場中更複雜和受監管的金融工具不斷增長的需求。

This move by Bitstamp also aligns with a broader trend among regulated EU trading facilities, which are seeking to meet the evolving needs of investors and to remain competitive in the rapidly changing financial landscape.

Bitstamp 的這項舉措也符合受監管的歐盟貿易機構的更廣泛趨勢，這些機構正在尋求滿足投資者不斷變化的需求，並在快速變化的金融環境中保持競爭力。

This development comes as part of Bitstamp's strategy to enhance its product offerings within the EU regulatory framework. Having obtained a license from the Dutch Central Bank earlier this year, Bitstamp is now authorized to provide services in stocks, commodities, bonds, and structured financial products, in addition to cryptocurrency.

這項發展是 Bitstamp 在歐盟監管框架內增強其產品供應策略的一部分。今年早些時候，Bitstamp 獲得了荷蘭中央銀行的許可，除加密貨幣外，現在還被授權提供股票、大宗商品、債券和結構性金融產品服務。

This expansion of its authorization enables Bitstamp to offer a wider range of assets, catering to the increasing demand for both digital and traditional assets among investors.

此次授權的擴大使Bitstamp能夠提供更廣泛的資產，滿足投資者對數位和傳統資產日益增長的需求。

Moreover, Bitstamp's presence in the MTF space, offering perpetual swaps and similar products, complements the offerings of other established exchanges, such as the Amsterdam-based D2X, which operates under a similar regulatory framework.

此外，Bitstamp 在 MTF 領域的存在，提供永續掉期和類似產品，補充了其他成熟交易所的產品，例如總部位於阿姆斯特丹的 D2X，該交易所在類似的監管框架下運作。

This integration of crypto offerings within the regulatory ambit of traditional financial practices at the EU level marks a significant advance in the maturation of crypto offerings.

這種將加密產品納入歐盟層面傳統金融實踐監管範圍的做法標誌著加密產品成熟度的重大進步。

Meanwhile, the U.S.-based fintech company Robinhood has agreed to acquire Bitstamp for $200 million to expand its presence in Europe and Asia. The acquisition is expected to close in early 2025, enabling Bitstamp to further scale its global footprint and crypto capabilities.

同時，美國金融科技公司 Robinhood 已同意以 2 億美元收購 Bitstamp，以擴大在歐洲和亞洲的業務。此次收購預計將於 2025 年初完成，使 Bitstamp 能夠進一步擴大其全球足跡和加密能力。

This buyout forms part of Robinhood's strategy to bolster its cryptocurrency portfolio and presence in Europe and Asia. However, Robinhood's endeavors in the crypto space have not been without their challenges, particularly in its dealings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).

此次收購是 Robinhood 加強其加密貨幣投資組合以及在歐洲和亞洲業務的策略的一部分。然而，Robinhood 在加密貨幣領域的努力並非沒有遇到挑戰，特別是在與美國證券交易委員會 (SEC) 的交易中。

Earlier this year, the SEC served a Wells notice to Robinhood, which, according to regulatory protocol, could have led to提起投诉 regarding securities violations in Robinhood's crypto business.

今年早些時候，美國證券交易委員會向 Robinhood 發出了 Wells 通知，根據監管協議，這可能會導致就 Robinhood 的加密業務中的證券違規行為提起投訴。

In this context, the differing regulatory landscapes for the U.S. and EU, as well as the broader compliance advantage afforded by MTF licenses, provide a contrasting backdrop for Bitstamp's operations.

在此背景下，美國和歐盟不同的監管環境，以及 MTF 許可證提供的更廣泛的合規優勢，為 Bitstamp 的營運提供了截然不同的背景。

In related news, Bitstamp has also partnered with payment provider Stripe to simplify crypto purchases for European customers. Through this integration, partners will be able to offer a fiat-to-crypto onramp, enabling their users to buy cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin (BTC) and Ether (ETH) directly within the application.

在相關新聞中，Bitstamp 也與支付提供者 Stripe 合作，簡化歐洲客戶的加密貨幣購買流程。透過這種集成，合作夥伴將能夠提供法幣到加密貨幣的通道，使其用戶能夠直接在應用程式中購買比特幣 (BTC) 和以太幣 (ETH) 等加密貨幣。

This approach addresses the so-called "cold start problem" by not requiring users to hold any prior crypto, thus providing smoother access to crypto for new users.

這種方法透過不要求用戶持有任何先前的加密貨幣來解決所謂的“冷啟動問題”，從而為新用戶提供更順暢的加密存取。

As users increasingly demand simplicity in their crypto purchasing experiences, Stripe's infrastructure will be utilized to further add security to Bitstamp's fiat-to-crypto conversion process.

隨著用戶對加密貨幣購買體驗的簡單性要求越來越高，Stripe 的基礎設施將用於進一步增強 Bitstamp 法幣到加密貨幣轉換過程的安全性。

This partnership also aligns with Bitstamp's aim to stake its claim on the European market as a top crypto platform for the smooth trading of digital currencies.

此次合作也符合 Bitstamp 的目標，即在歐洲市場上確立其作為數位貨幣順利交易的頂級加密平台的地位。
