隨著美國法規的發展，查爾斯·施瓦布（Charles Schwab）著眼於加密貨幣的重大擴張

嘉信理財 (Charles Schwab Corp.) 即將上任的執行長 Rick Wurster 透露，該公司準備提供現貨加密貨幣交易，等待美國有利的監管變化

Charles Schwab Corp. (NYSE:SCHW) is preparing to launch spot cryptocurrency trading as U.S. regulations evolve, with its leadership expressing optimism amid a shifting regulatory and competitive landscape.

嘉信理財公司（NYSE：SCHW）正準備隨著美國法規的發展推出現貨加密貨幣交易，其領導層對不斷變化的監管和競爭格局表示樂觀。

During a Bloomberg Radio interview, Rick Wurster, incoming CEO of Charles Schwab Corp., highlighted the company’s readiness to offer spot crypto trading, pending favorable regulatory changes in the U.S.

在接受彭博電台採訪時，查爾斯·施瓦佈公司(Charles Schwab Corp.) 即將上任的首席執行官里克·沃斯特(Rick Wurster) 強調，在美國出現有利的監管變化之前，該公司準備提供現貨加密貨幣交易

“We will get into spot crypto when the regulatory environment changes, and we do anticipate that it will change, and we’re getting ready for that eventuality,” Wurster said.

「當監管環境發生變化時，我們將進入現貨加密領域，我們確實預計它會發生變化，我們正在為這種可能性做好準備，」沃斯特說。

Schwab, which already offers crypto-linked exchange-traded funds (ETFs) and futures, is positioning itself to expand into direct trading when the market environment permits.

嘉信理財已經提供與加密貨幣掛鉤的交易所交易基金（ETF）和期貨，並準備在市場環境允許的情況下擴展到直接交易。

“Crypto has certainly caught many’s attention, and they’ve made a lot of money doing it,” Wurster said of the rising prominence of cryptocurrency.

「加密貨幣確實引起了很多人的關注，他們也透過它賺了很多錢，」沃斯特在談到加密貨幣的日益突出時說道。

The landscape of cryptocurrency regulation in the U.S. is undergoing significant transformation. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) Chair Gary Gensler, known for his stringent stance on crypto enforcement, has announced his resignation, effective Jan. 20, 2025, coinciding with President-elect Donald Trump’s inauguration.

美國的加密貨幣監管格局正在發生重大轉變。以其對加密貨幣執法的嚴格立場而聞名的美國證券交易委員會(SEC) 主席加里·詹斯勒(Gary Gensler) 宣布辭職，該辭職將於2025 年1 月20 日生效，恰逢當選總統唐納德·川普(Donald Trump) 就職。

This development has been met with optimism within the crypto industry, anticipating a shift toward more favorable regulatory policies under the incoming administration. Trump has expressed intention to position the U.S. as a leader in the cryptocurrency sector, proposing initiatives such as establishing a strategic bitcoin reserve.

這一發展在加密貨幣行業內引起了樂觀情緒，預計在即將上任的政府的領導下，將轉向更有利的監管政策。川普表示有意將美國定位為加密貨幣領域的領導者，提出了建立比特幣戰略儲備等措施。

Wurster will officially take over as CEO from Walt Bettinger at the start of the year, marking a significant leadership transition.

沃斯特將於今年年初正式接替沃爾特·貝廷格 (Walt Bettinger) 擔任首席執行官，這標誌著重大的領導層過渡。

Bettinger, Schwab’s leader since 2008, leaves a legacy of innovation and resilience, with Wurster poised to continue adapting Schwab’s strategies to evolving market demands.

Bettinger 自 2008 年起擔任嘉信理財的領導者，留下了創新和韌性的遺產，而 Wurster 也準備繼續調整嘉信理財的策略，以適應不斷變化的市場需求。

Despite his enthusiasm for supporting Schwab clients in crypto investments, Wurster admitted to personal reluctance.

儘管沃斯特熱衷於支持嘉信理財客戶進行加密貨幣投資，但他承認個人不太情願。

“I have not bought crypto, and now I feel silly,” he said.

「我還沒有買加密貨幣，現在我覺得很傻，」他說。

Schwab’s move comes amid intensifying competition for retail investors, as firms like Robinhood Markets (NASDAQ:HOOD) and Webull vie for dominance with innovative offerings.

施瓦布此舉正值散戶競爭加劇之際，Robinhood Markets（納斯達克股票代碼：HOOD）和 Webull 等公司都在爭奪創新產品的主導地位。

Schwab aims to leverage its established reputation alongside advanced technologies like artificial intelligence (AI) to maintain its competitive edge. Schwab has also backed EDX Markets, a cryptocurrency exchange that began operations in June 2023.

嘉信理財旨在利用其既定聲譽以及人工智慧 (AI) 等先進技術來保持競爭優勢。施瓦布也支援 EDX Markets，這是一家於 2023 年 6 月開始營運的加密貨幣交易所。
