據稱 Cantor Fitzgerald 的 Lutnick 正在與 Tether 進行深化合作談判

盧特尼克正在就加深其企業與全球最大穩定幣背後的公司之間的財務聯繫進行談判

Cantor Fitzgerald LP is discussing receiving support from Tether for its planned multibillion-dollar program to lend dollars to clients who put up Bitcoin as collateral, said the people, who asked not to be named as they were not authorized to speak publicly. Cantor is also in talks to deepen the financial ties between its businesses and the company behind the world’s largest stablecoin, according to people familiar with the matter.

知情人士表示，Cantor Fitzgerald LP 正在討論獲得Tether 計劃中的數十億美元計劃的支持，該計劃旨在向以比特幣作為抵押品的客戶提供美元貸款。 。知情人士透露，坎託也正在就深化其業務與全球最大穩定幣背後的公司之間的財務聯繫進行談判。

Funding for the program will start at $2 billion and is expected to eventually reach into the tens of billions, a separate person told Bloomberg. Tether currently uses Cantor’s custody business to hold the billions of dollars of US Treasuries that support the value of its dominant USDT stablecoin. That custody relationship earns Cantor tens of millions of dollars a year, according to people familiar with the matter.

另一位知情人士告訴彭博社，該計畫的資金起價為 20 億美元，預計最終將達到數百億美元。 Tether 目前利用 Cantor 的託管業務持有數十億美元的美國國債，這些美國國債支撐著其主導的 USDT 穩定幣的價值。知情人士透露，這種監護關係每年為坎托帶來數千萬美元的收入。

Lutnick is co-chair of president-elect Donald Trump’s transition team and Trump’s pick to run the Commerce Department. Trump has been a recent and vocal proponent of digital assets like Bitcoin, and has promoted a crypto project associated with his sons called World Liberty Financial.

盧特尼克是當選總統川普過渡團隊的共同主席，也是川普挑選的商務部主管。川普最近一直是比特幣等數位資產的直言不諱的支持者，並推動了與他的兒子相關的名為「世界自由金融」的加密項目。

The Trump transition team is mulling whether to create a new White House post for crypto policy, Bloomberg reported previously. While Cantor has been trying to hire staff to launch the program, it hasn’t formally started lending.

根據彭博社先前報道，川普過渡團隊正在考慮是否在白宮設立一個新的加密貨幣政策職位。雖然坎託一直在嘗試僱用員工來啟動該計劃，但尚未正式開始貸款。

If Tether takes part, the crypto firm would likely be one of multiple financial contributors, one of the people said. A spokeswoman for Cantor declined to comment. Executives at Tether could not be immediately reached for comment outside of normal business hours.

一位知情人士表示，如果 Tether 參與，這家加密貨幣公司可能會成為多個財務捐助者之一。坎託的發言人拒絕發表評論。在正常工作時間之外，無法立即聯繫到 Tether 高層置評。

Tether has faced scrutiny from governments including the US for possible violations of sanctions and anti-money laundering rules. The company has denied the claims.

Tether 因可能違反制裁和反洗錢規則而面臨包括美國在內的各國政府的審查。該公司否認了這些說法。

Lutnick’s firm has also struck a deal to invest in Tether, the Wall Street Journal reported on Saturday, adding that Cantor’s stake has been valued at as much as $600 million and amounts to about a 5% ownership interest.

根據《華爾街日報》週六報道，Lutnick 的公司還達成了投資 Tether 的協議，並補充說 Cantor 的股份價值高達 6 億美元，相當於約 5% 的所有權權益。

As Lutnick moves to run the Commerce Department, he is preparing to hand over his firm’s relationship with Tether, which he largely controls, to colleagues, according to two people briefed on the matter. His son, Brandon Lutnick, works at Cantor as a trader and previously interned with Tether in Lugano, Switzerland.

據兩位知情人士透露，隨著盧特尼克出任商務部主管，他正準備將其公司與 Tether 的關係移交給同事，而 Tether 是他在很大程度上控制的。他的兒子 Brandon Lutnick 在 Cantor 擔任交易員，此前曾在瑞士盧加諾的 Tether 實習。
