貝萊德將華爾街重量級人物納入比特幣 ETF 授權參與者小組

貝萊德的現貨比特幣 ETF (IBIT) 已將美國主要銀行納入授權參與者，其中包括高盛、瑞銀和花旗集團。繼 ETF 一月份成功推出之後，該基金吸收了超過 120 億美元的淨流量並持有超過 160 億美元的資產。此舉標誌著機構對加密貨幣的接受度不斷提高，並可能進一步推動比特幣 ETF 的成長。

BlackRock Expands Authorized Participants for its Spot Bitcoin ETF, Adding Prominent Wall Street Banks

貝萊德擴大其現貨比特幣 ETF 的授權參與者，增加了著名的華爾街銀行

New York, April 8, 2024 - BlackRock, the world's largest asset manager, has added several major U.S. banks as authorized participants for its iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT), a spot Bitcoin exchange-traded fund (ETF) that has been gaining significant traction in the financial markets.

紐約，2024 年4 月8 日- 全球最大的資產管理公司貝萊德(BlackRock) 已將幾家美國主要銀行納入其iShares 比特幣信託(IBIT) 的授權參與者，該信託是一款現貨比特幣交易所交易基金(ETF)，已獲得巨大關注在金融市場。

In post-effective amendments filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on Friday, BlackRock named Citadel, Goldman Sachs, UBS, and Citigroup as authorized participants for its Bitcoin ETF, which launched in January 2024. Authorized participants play a crucial role in the ETF ecosystem, being responsible for creating and redeeming ETF shares to keep the ETF's price closely aligned with the underlying asset, in this case, Bitcoin (BTC).

在周五向美國證券交易委員會(SEC) 提交的生效後修正案中，貝萊德指定Citadel、高盛、瑞銀和花旗集團為其2024 年1 月推出的比特幣ETF 的授權參與者。授權參與者發揮著至關重要的作用在 ETF 生態系統中，負責創建和贖回 ETF 份額，以保持 ETF 的價格與基礎資產（在本例中為比特幣 (BTC)）緊密一致。

The addition of these prominent Wall Street banks to BlackRock's ETF partnership network represents a significant development in the cryptocurrency industry. It demonstrates the growing institutional acceptance and recognition of Bitcoin as a legitimate investment asset.

這些著名的華爾街銀行加入貝萊德的 ETF 合作夥伴網路代表著加密貨幣產業的重大發展。它表明機構越來越接受和認可比特幣作為合法的投資資產。

"These new authorized participants provide additional liquidity and support for the iShares Bitcoin Trust, further enhancing its position as a leading investment vehicle for accessing Bitcoin," a BlackRock spokesperson told Decrypt. "We believe this will further support the growth and maturity of the Bitcoin market."

貝萊德發言人告訴 Decrypt：“這些新的授權參與者為 iShares 比特幣信託基金提供了額外的流動性和支持，進一步增強了其作為獲取比特幣的領先投資工具的地位。” “我們相信這將進一步支持比特幣市場的成長和成熟。”

The four new banks join an already established group of authorized participants for the BlackRock Bitcoin ETF, including ABN AMRO, JP Morgan, Jane Street, Macquarie Capital, and Virtu. Notably, Goldman Sachs has previously expressed skepticism towards cryptocurrencies, with its executives publicly dismissing them as "not an investment asset class." However, the bank's recent move to become an authorized participant for BlackRock's Bitcoin ETF suggests a shift in its stance, likely driven by growing client demand for exposure to digital assets.

這四家新銀行加入了貝萊德比特幣 ETF 已經建立的授權參與者群體，包括荷蘭銀行、摩根大通、Jane Street、麥格理資本和 Virtu。值得注意的是，高盛先前曾對加密貨幣表示懷疑，其高層公開斥責加密貨幣「不是投資資產類別」。然而，該銀行最近成為貝萊德比特幣 ETF 的授權參與者，這表明其立場發生了轉變，這可能是由於客戶對數位資產敞口的需求不斷增長。

Analysts believe that the addition of these major banks as authorized participants is a reflection of the increasing popularity and acceptance of Bitcoin ETFs among institutional investors.

分析師認為，這些主要銀行加入為授權參與者，反映出比特幣ETF在機構投資者中越來越受歡迎和接受。

"The participation of these large financial institutions signals a growing appetite for Bitcoin among traditional investors," said Eric Balchunas, ETF analyst at Bloomberg. "It's a clear indication that Bitcoin is gaining wider acceptance as a legitimate investment asset."

彭博社 ETF 分析師 Eric Balchunas 表示：“這些大型金融機構的參與表明傳統投資者對比特幣的興趣日益增長。” “這清楚地表明比特幣作為合法投資資產正在獲得更廣泛的接受。”

Since its launch in January 2024, Bitcoin ETFs have attracted substantial inflows, absorbing over $12 billion in net flows. BlackRock's Bitcoin ETF, in particular, has emerged as a dominant player in the space, amassing over $16 billion in assets under management.

自 2024 年 1 月推出以來，比特幣 ETF 吸引了大量資金流入，吸收了超過 120 億美元的淨流量。尤其是貝萊德的比特幣 ETF，已成為該領域的主導者，管理資產超過 160 億美元。

The expanding authorized participant network for the BlackRock Bitcoin ETF is expected to further support its growth and liquidity, making it an increasingly attractive option for investors seeking exposure to the cryptocurrency market.

貝萊德比特幣 ETF 不斷擴大的授權參與者網路預計將進一步支持其成長和流動性，使其成為尋求進入加密貨幣市場的投資者越來越有吸引力的選擇。
