"Since the inception of the first Bitcoin transaction in 2009, digital assets have evolved from a niche technological innovation to a globally recognized asset class," stated Manfred Bauer, Global Head of DWS' Product Division and Executive Board Member of DWS Group. "With a combined market capitalization exceeding USD 1.7 trillion, Bitcoin and Ethereum alone are now too substantial for investors and asset managers to ignore."

DWS 產品部門全球主管兼 DWS 集團執行董事會成員 Manfred Bauer 表示：“自 2009 年第一筆比特幣交易誕生以來，數位資產已從一項利基技術創新發展成為全球認可的資產類別。” “隨著總市值超過 1.7 兆美元，僅比特幣和以太坊現在就已經不容投資者和資產管理者忽視。”

The Xtrackers Galaxy Physical Bitcoin ETC is now listed on Deutsche Börse, empowering investors to participate directly in the Bitcoin market with the security and transparency of an exchange-traded product. These ETCs are physically backed by BTC, ensuring that investors have direct exposure to the price movements of Bitcoin.

DWS has strategically partnered with Galaxy to accelerate Bitcoin adoption in Europe, leveraging Galaxy's expertise in digital asset services. "We are thrilled to collaborate with Xtrackers to provide investors with institutional-grade access to digital assets and guide them with our deep digital asset capabilities," commented Steve Kurz, Global Head of Asset Management at Galaxy.

State Street will serve as the Issuing and Paying Agent and Administration Agent for these ETCs, while MSCI will provide reference rates for Bitcoin, according to the official announcement. The ETCs are 1:1 physically backed and utilize cryptocurrency custodians Zodia Custody and Coinbase for secure storage in offline custody accounts. The ETCs also boast a competitive annual management fee of 0.35%.

根據官方公告，道富銀行將擔任這些 ETC 的發行和支付代理以及管理代理，而 MSCI 將為比特幣提供參考利率。 ETC 採用 1:1 實體支持，並利用加密貨幣託管機構 Zodia Custody 和 Coinbase 在離線託管帳戶中進行安全儲存。 ETC 還擁有極具競爭力的 0.35% 年管理費。

"The launch of these ETCs is a testament to the growing institutional demand for digital assets," added Bauer. "DWS is committed to providing investors with innovative and accessible solutions to meet their evolving investment needs."

Bauer 補充道：“這些 ETC 的推出證明了機構對數位資產的需求不斷增長。” “DWS 致力於為投資者提供創新且易於使用的解決方案，以滿足他們不斷變化的投資需求。”

The introduction of physically-backed Bitcoin ETCs in Germany removes the technical barriers to digital asset investing. By eliminating the need for investors to establish digital wallets or navigate complex cryptocurrency exchanges, these ETCs make it easier for a wider range of investors to gain exposure to Bitcoin.
