儘管2022年的加密冬季，VC Dollars Chaser Chaser Upstart Digital Asset Firms針對亞洲富人

返回前真人秀電視明星的白宮，作為一個人物，其政策將為虛擬金錢帶來繁榮，刺激了該行業的硬幣和公司的上升。

Over steak and wine at a swanky restaurant in downtown Singapore a week after Donald Trump won November 2024’s US presidential election, Gerald Goh pitched a bright future for digital assets to journalists covering cryptocurrencies.

唐納德·特朗普（Donald Trump）贏得了2024年11月的美國總統大選後，一周在新加坡市中心的一家時髦餐廳上牛排和葡萄酒，杰拉爾德·戈（Gerald Goh）向涵蓋加密貨幣的記者提供了一個光明的未來。

The return to the White House of the former reality TV star, cast as a figure whose policies will usher in a boom for virtual money, has spurred rising bets on the sector’s coins and companies. And for bankers, fund managers and private wealth advisers in the city-state, it has triggered a frantic chase for the rich clients allocating more capital to a reenergized segment of digital finance.

返回前真人秀電視明星的白宮，作為一個人物，其政策將為虛擬金錢帶來繁榮，刺激了該行業的硬幣和公司的上升。對於城市國家的銀行家，基金經理和私人財富顧問，它引發了對富裕客戶的瘋狂追逐，將更多的資金分配給重新激發的數字融資部分。

Goh, the co-founder and CEO of Sygnum, a virtual asset banking group serving high-net-worth customers in Singapore, is among scores of crypto executives who have seized the momentum to raise the profile of their services in the region’s financial hub.

Goh是Sygnum的聯合創始人兼首席執行官，Sygnum是一家虛擬資產銀行集團，為新加坡的高淨值客戶提供服務，是Crypto高管的數十名，他們抓住了在該地區金融樞紐中提高服務概況的勢頭。

“Specifically, in Singapore … investors generally are more positive about incorporating crypto investments as part of their investment portfolios,” Goh told Nikkei Asia. “We’ve already seen in 2024 an improvement in the mood, let’s say, in the sentiment, on the crypto side.”

“具體來說，在新加坡……投資者通常更積極地將加密投資作為其投資組合的一部分，” Goh告訴Nikkei Asia。 “在2024年，我們已經看到了情緒的改善，可以說，在情緒上，在加密貨幣方面。”

Following the drastic decline in digital asset prices in 2022 and the toppling of industry names such as FTX, a virtual token exchange, over financial fraud, crypto has staged a dramatic comeback in the past year.

在2022年數字資產價格的急劇下降之後，以及諸如FTX（虛擬令牌交易所）之類的行業名稱，對於金融欺詐而言，Crypto在過去一年中進行了戲劇性的複出。

Bitcoin, the world’s largest cryptocurrency, surged to new highs and cracked the USD 100,000-per coin ceiling for the first time in December. Despite falls early in February, many analysts are predicting further gains in the months ahead.

比特幣是世界上最大的加密貨幣，在12月的第一次中飆升至新高點，並在12月首次破解了100,000美元的硬幣上限。儘管2月初下降，但許多分析師預測未來幾個月的進一步增長。

In Southeast Asia, cryptocurrency-related companies attracted USD 325 million in funding in 2024, a 20% jump from the previous year, according to a January report by Tracxn, which monitors startups and private companies.

根據Tracxn的一月份報告，在東南亞，與加密貨幣相關的公司在2024年吸引了3.25億美元的資金，比上一年增長了20％。

While this is slower growth than in the payments and banking tech segments, it still bucks the trend of the region’s broader financial technology scene, which recorded an overall 23% drop last year to USD 1.6 billion in total funding from USD 2.1 billion in 2023, the report showed. Charged by this inflow of capital and growing investor exuberance, crypto players are racing to ride the wave up.

該報告顯示，這比付款和銀行技術領域的增長慢，但它仍然使該地區更廣泛的金融技術領域的趨勢降低了，該趨勢的總體趨勢下降了23％，至2023年的21億美元的總資金總額為16億美元。由於資本的流入和不斷增長的投資者的興趣，加密貨幣玩家正在競選浪潮。

But the path to wealth is not without its challenges. Singapore has a reputation as an Asian virtual currency hub but also has a financial regulator, the Monetary Authority of Singapore, which frowns on the enticement of mom-and-pop investors by digital payment token service providers, the term used for crypto companies.

但是，通往財富的道路並非沒有挑戰。新加坡以亞洲虛擬貨幣樞紐的名譽而聞名，但還有一個金融監管機構，即新加坡的貨幣管理機構，該機構以數字支付代幣服務提供商的誘使婦女和流行投資者的誘惑而聞名，該術語用於加密公司。

MAS heavily discourages mass marketing of crypto assets to retail consumers. Platforms are thus treading carefully. Professional investors, including the rich, however, are fair game. Many buy major tokens such as Bitcoin and Ether directly, industry players note, often through centralized exchanges, or CEXs.

MAS嚴重阻止加密資產的大規模營銷來零售消費者。因此，平台正在仔細踩踏。但是，包括富人在內的專業投資者都是公平的遊戲。許多人直接通過集中交易所或CEXS購買了主要的代幣，例如比特幣和以太幣。

Crypto data tracker CoinGecko highlighted in a January report that CEXs recorded USD 17.4 trillion in spot trading globally last year—more than double the USD 7.2 trillion volume in 2023.

Crypto Data Tracker Coingecko在1月份的一份報告中強調了CEXS去年在全球的現貨貿易中記錄了17.4萬億美元，超過了2023年7.2萬億美元的兩倍。

In a January update, Singapore officials said the number of single-family offices—organizations set up to manage the portfolio of millionaires, billionaires and their kin, exceeded 2,000 at the end of 2024, up from the 1,400 recorded a year earlier.

新加坡官員在一月的更新中表示，單戶辦公室的數量（為管理百萬富翁，億萬富翁及其親戚的投資組合而設立的組織數量超過了2024年底，其比一年前記錄的1,400次。

Lured to the politically stable island nation in recent years from as far afield as China and Indonesia, the expanding network of rich Asians has become a natural hunting ground for players like Sygnum.

近年來，從中國和印度尼西亞遠離政治穩定的島國國家，富裕的亞洲人的擴張網絡已成為Sygnum等球員的自然狩獵場。

Without giving specific numbers, Goh said his firm’s rate for onboarding clients “probably doubled or tripled” the week after Trump’s election victory.

在沒有給出具體數字的情況下，Goh表示，在特朗普大選勝利後的一周，他的公司對入職客戶的稅率“可能翻了一番或兩倍”。

In January the company announced it had achieved unicorn status, crossing the USD 1 billion mark after closing a USD 58 million funding round; its client assets under management topped USD 5 billion.

一月份，該公司宣布取得了獨角獸的身份，在結束了5800萬美元的資金回合後超越了10億美元。其管理中的客戶資產超過50億美元。

In September, as the Republican presidential nominee campaigned his way to the White House, Sygnum surveyed 400 respondents from family offices, funds and asset managers across 27 countries, including China, South Korea and Thailand.

9月，當共和黨總統提名人競選白宮時，Sygnum調查了包括中國，韓國和泰國在內的27個國家 /地區的家庭辦公室，資金和資產經理的400名受訪者。

Its poll found 57% of respondents in Singapore planned to raise their portfolio allocation for crypto in the next two years, higher than the survey average of 47%.

它的民意調查發現，新加坡有57％的受訪者計劃在未來兩年內提高其對加密貨幣的投資組合分配，高於調查平均值47％。

Sygnum is not the only outfit reporting an eagerness among Southeast Asia’s wealthy to dabble in crypto. Independent Reserve, a token exchange licensed in Singapore, told Nikkei the number of its clients from family offices grew 20% in 2024 compared with the year before.

Sygnum並不是唯一一家報導了東南亞富人涉足加密貨幣的渴望。獨立儲備金是新加坡許可的代幣交易所，與前一年相比，2024年的家庭辦事處的客戶數量增長了20％。

The platform said there is a mix of first-time investors and existing crypto holders raising their exposure, with clients buying into virtual coins like Bitcoin and Ether, either through family offices or via direct trading on its exchange.

該平台表示，首次投資者和現有的加密持有人會通過家庭辦事處或通過其交易所直接交易來購買諸如比特幣和以太之類的虛擬硬幣，例如比特幣和以太幣等虛擬硬幣。
