據 CBOE 新聞稿稱，貝萊德已在加拿大推出 iShares 比特幣交易所交易基金 (ETF)

BlackRock has launched its iShares Bitcoin exchange-traded fund (ETF) in Canada, offering institutionally managed BTC exposure to local investors, according to a CBOE press release.

據 CBOE 新聞稿稱，貝萊德已在加拿大推出 iShares 比特幣交易所交易基金 (ETF)，向當地投資者提供機構管理的 BTC 投資。

The ETF, listed on CBOE BZX Canada, will trade under the ticker “CBTC” and will be available to investors through authorized participants (APs) in units, each representing 1/10th of a Bitcoin.

該 ETF 在加拿大 CBOE BZX 上市，交易代號為“CBTC”，並將透過授權參與者 (AP) 向投資者出售，每個單位代表 1/10 比特幣。

BlackRock now manages the largest U.S. spot Bitcoin ETF, known as IBIT, which became the fastest-growing fund in history, attracting over $52 billion in investor capital within its first year.

貝萊德目前管理著美國最大的現貨比特幣 ETF（IBIT），該基金成為史上成長最快的基金，在第一年就吸引了超過 520 億美元的投資者資本。

Commenting on the launch, Helen Hayes, Head of iShares Canada at BlackRock, highlighted the introduction of a locally managed product to offer a “convenient and cost-effective” way for investors to gain exposure to Bitcoin.

貝萊德 iShares 加拿大負責人 Helen Hayes 在評論此次推出時強調，本地管理產品的推出將為投資者提供一種「便捷且經濟高效」的方式來投資比特幣。

“We're excited to announce the launch of the iShares Bitcoin ETF, which will provide Canadian investors with a convenient and cost-effective way to gain exposure to Bitcoin,” said Hayes.

Hayes 表示：“我們很高興宣布推出 iShares 比特幣 ETF，這將為加拿大投資者提供一種便利且經濟高效的方式來投資比特幣。”

“This ETF is designed to meet the growing demand for crypto exposure among institutional investors, and we're pleased to be able to offer it on CBOE BZX Canada.”

“該 ETF 旨在滿足機構投資者對加密貨幣投資日益增長的需求，我們很高興能夠在 CBOE BZX Canada 上提供該產品。”

Rob Marrocco, Global Head of ETF Listings at CBOE, also noted the increasing demand for cryptocurrency exposure, adding that CBOE will continue to support the growth of the crypto ecosystem.

CBOE ETF 上市全球主管 Rob Marrocco 也指出了對加密貨幣曝險的需求不斷增加，並補充說 CBOE 將繼續支持加密生態系統的發展。

“As investors increasingly seek crypto exposure through exchange-listed wrappers, CBOE intends to cater to this demand by leveraging our global listings capabilities and derivatives expertise to broaden market access and support the growth of the crypto ecosystem with new products,” said Marrocco.

Marrocco 表示：「隨著投資者越來越多地透過交易所上市的包裝器尋求加密貨幣投資，CBOE 打算利用我們的全球上市能力和衍生性商品專業知識來滿足這一需求，以擴大市場准入並透過新產品支持加密生態系統的發展。

The launch marks one of the first major spot Bitcoin ETFs to enter the Canadian market. In the U.S., the spot Bitcoin ETF complex has already gathered $107 billion in assets under management (AUM).

此次推出標誌著進入加拿大市場的首批主要現貨比特幣 ETF 之一。在美國，現貨比特幣 ETF 綜合體已經聚集了 1,070 億美元的管理資產（AUM）。

While the Canadian market may not reach the same scale, BlackRock's entry is expected to attract more institutional capital into Bitcoin through local investment channels.

雖然加拿大市場可能達不到同樣的規模，但貝萊德的進入預計將吸引更多機構資本透過當地投資管道進入比特幣。

Beyond Canada, BlackRock also offers Bitcoin products in markets like Brazil. The company's expansion reflects growing global interest in Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies as alternative asset classes, especially amidst rising inflation and uncertainty in traditional financial markets.

除加拿大之外，貝萊德還在巴西等市場提供比特幣產品。該公司的擴張反映了全球對比特幣和加密貨幣作為替代資產類別的興趣日益增長，特別是在通膨上升和傳統金融市場不確定性的情況下。
