貝萊德 (BlackRock) 正在洽談購買比特幣 ETF 持有者「King」 Millennium 的股份

全球最大的資產管理公司貝萊德正在實施一項多階段計劃，透過加密貨幣和區塊鏈實現華爾街數位化

Bitcoin and crypto prices have surged this week as traders cheer Donald Trump's decisive U.S. election victory, putting a $100,000 bitcoin price in view.

隨著交易員歡呼唐納德·川普在美國大選中取得決定性勝利，比特幣和加密貨幣價格本週飆升，比特幣價格有望突破 10 萬美元。

The bitcoin price has climbed through 2024 on the back of Trump's embrace of bitcoin as well as expectations of Federal Reserve interest rate cuts and China stimulus measures and Wall Street adoption.

在川普對比特幣的擁抱以及聯準會降息和中國刺激措施以及華爾街採用的預期的推動下，比特幣價格在 2024 年一路攀升。

Now, as markets brace for a Trump "game-changer," a leak has revealed the world's largest asset manager BlackRock is in discussions to buy a stake in the "king" of spot bitcoin exchange-traded fund (ETF) holders.

現在，隨著市場為川普的“遊戲規則改變者”做好準備，有消息透露，全球最大的資產管理公司貝萊德正在討論購買現貨比特幣交易所交易基金（ETF）持有者“之王」的股份。

BlackRock, the world's largest asset manager that's in the middle of a multi-stage plan to digitize Wall Street with crypto and blockchain, is in discussions to buy a small equity stake in $70 billion alternative asset manager Millennium, a hedge fund described as the "king" of bitcoin ETF holders, according to a Financial Times report citing anonymous sources.

全球最大的資產管理公司貝萊德(BlackRock) 正處於一項利用加密貨幣和區塊鏈將華爾街數位化的多階段計劃中，該公司正在討論購買價值700 億美元的另類資產管理公司Millennium 的少量股權，該對沖基金被稱為「英國《金融時報》援引匿名消息人士的報道稱，「比特幣 ETF 持有者之王」。

Earlier this year, Millennium was revealed to hold nearly $2 billion in spot bitcoin ETFs as of the first quarter of 2024, with almost $2 billion across five spot bitcoin ETFs, led by a near-$800 million stake in BlackRock's IBIT bitcoin fund.

今年早些時候，據透露，截至2024 年第一季度，Millennium 持有近20 億美元的現貨比特幣ETF，其中五隻現貨比特幣ETF 的價值近20 億美元，其中以貝萊德旗下IBIT 比特幣基金近8 億美元的股份為首。

Last month, BlackRock chief executive Larry Fink outlined his plan for bitcoin, ethereum and crypto during BlackRock's third quarter earnings call, predicting bitcoin, ethereum and crypto will "overlay" with artificial intelligence.

上個月，貝萊德執行長拉里·芬克在貝萊德第三季財報電話會議上概述了他對比特幣、以太坊和加密貨幣的計劃，預測比特幣、以太坊和加密貨幣將與人工智慧「重疊」。

"We believe bitcoin is asset class in itself, it is an alternative to other commodities like gold," said Fink, who last year led the charge on Wall Street to bring a fully-fledged spot bitcoin ETF to U.S. markets.

芬克表示：「我們相信比特幣本身就是一種資產類別，它是黃金等其他大宗商品的替代品。」芬克去年在華爾街帶頭將成熟的現貨比特幣 ETF 引入美國市場。

The arrival of a fleet of spot bitcoin ETFs on Wall Street this year was the first step in what Fink branded a digital "revolution" when he revealed his crypto ambitions for BlackRock—which includes a blockchain-based alternative to the U.S. dollar.

今年，一批現貨比特幣ETF 登陸華爾街，這是芬克所稱的數位「革命」的第一步，當時他透露了他對貝萊德的加密貨幣野心，其中包括基於區塊鏈的美元替代品。

On Thursday, BlackRock's IBIT saw a record net inflows, with $1.1 billion flowing into its bitcoin fund and blowing its previous record, set in late October, of almost $900 million out of the water.

週四，貝萊德 (BlackRock) 的 IBIT 出現創紀錄的淨流入，11 億美元流入其比特幣基金，打破了 10 月底創下的近 9 億美元的紀錄。

"We expect continued inflows into both exchanges and ETFs, leading to increased market volatility and potential spillover effects into other crypto investment funds," said Caroline Bowler, chief executive of BTC Markets, in emailed comments, pointing to BTC Markets' 300% increase in user logins this week.

BTC Markets 執行長 Caroline Bowler 在電子郵件評論中表示：「我們預計資金將繼續流入交易所和ETF，從而導致市場波動加劇，並可能對其他加密投資基金產生溢出效應。

"This could drive broader liquidity and trading volume. There is also a significant risk of a feedback loop, where rising ETF inflows push bitcoin prices higher, attracting more capital. Overall, this surge in interest suggests that bitcoin is increasingly viewed as a core investment asset rather than a speculative play, potentially marking the beginning of a sustained period of heightened activity in the crypto market."

「這可能會推動更廣泛的流動性和交易量。還存在反饋循環的重大風險，即ETF 流入的增加推高比特幣價格，吸引更多資本。總體而言，這種興趣激增表明比特幣越來越被視為核心投資資產而不是投機行為，這可能標誌著加密市場持續活躍期的開始。
