以太坊的華爾街傢伙：協議

本文最新一期的《協議》中介紹了我們的每週新聞通訊，探討了Crypto背後的技術，一次是一個街區。在這裡註冊以將其在每個星期三的收件箱中獲取。

Fresh off the heels of completing a $100 million Series B funding round, Etherealize is aiming to bring Ethereum to Wall Street. Founded by former banker Vivek Raman, Etherealize is on a mission to make ETH a serious asset class.

Etherealize剛開始完成了1億美元的B融資回合，旨在將以太坊帶到華爾街。 Etherealize由前銀行家Vivek Raman創立，其任務是使ETH成為嚴肅的資產類別。

“I came to crypto after a decade in banking, and I feel like I have a unique perspective having seen both sides of the table,” Raman told CoinDesk. “I discovered crypto in 2017 and left banking in 2018. I spent the next four years building the relationships and the company, and we chose to launch in January because it’s a time of heightened market optimism driven by expectations of a crypto-friendly White House.”

拉曼對Coindesk告訴Coindesk說：“在銀行業十年後，我來到了加密貨幣，我覺得我有一個獨特的視角看到了桌子的兩面。” “我在2017年發現了加密貨幣，並於2018年離開銀行業。我在接下來的四年中建立了關係和公司，我們選擇在一月份推出，因為這是對對加密友好型白宮的期望提高市場樂觀的時期。”

While Ethereum grapples with internal disputes and price stagnation, Etherealize has been quietly marketing ETH on Wall Street. In an interview with CoinDesk’s Margaux Nijkerk, Raman discusses how he came to create Etherealize, how that group is marketing ETH on Wall Street and banks’ views on layer-2 rollups.

儘管以太坊努力應對內部爭端和價格停滯，但空靈一直在華爾街悄悄地銷售ETH。拉曼在接受Coindesk的Margaux Nijkerk採訪時，討論了他是如何創建空靈的，該小組在華爾街上如何營銷ETH以及Banks對2層匯總的看法。

CoinDesk: Tell me a little bit about your background and how you came to create Etherealize.

Coindesk：告訴我一些有關您的背景以及如何創建空靈的信息。

Vivek Raman: I was born in India and moved to the U.S. when I was 10 years old. I grew up in New Jersey and went to college at the University of Pennsylvania, where I studied economics and international relations. After graduating, I worked at Goldman Sachs for seven years in the commodities division, trading precious metals and energy derivatives.

維維克·拉曼（Vivek Raman）：我10歲那年出生在印度，搬到了美國。我在新澤西州長大，並在賓夕法尼亞大學上大學，在那裡我學習了經濟學和國際關係。畢業後，我在高盛（Goldman Sachs）在商品部門工作了七年，交易了貴金屬和能源衍生品。

In 2017, I discovered crypto and became fascinated by the technology and its potential to revolutionize finance. I left banking in 2018 to join Polychain Capital, where I worked for two years as an investment associate.

2017年，我發現了加密貨幣，並對這項技術及其革新金融的潛力著迷。我於2018年離開銀行加入Polychain Capital，在那裡我擔任投資助理兩年。

During my time at Polychain, I became increasingly interested in the intersection of traditional finance and crypto. I saw an opportunity to create a company that could bridge the gap between the two worlds and help to bring ETH to a broader audience.

在PolyChain期間，我對傳統金融和加密的交集變得越來越感興趣。我看到了創建一家可以彌合兩個世界之間差距並幫助更廣泛受眾的公司的機會。

I founded Etherealize in 2020 with the goal of making ETH a serious asset class. The company is a liquidity provider and market maker for ETH, and we also work with banks and other institutions to help them understand and adopt Ethereum technology.

我在2020年創立了Etherealize，目的是使ETH成為一類認真的資產類別。該公司是ETH的流動性提供商和做市商，我們還與銀行和其他機構合作，以幫助他們理解和採用以太坊技術。

CoinDesk: What are some of the challenges you've faced in marketing ETH on Wall Street?

Coindesk：您在華爾街的營銷ETH中面臨哪些挑戰？

Vivek Raman: One of the biggest challenges has been educating people about Ethereum. Many people in traditional finance are still not familiar with the technology or its benefits.

維維克·拉曼（Vivek Raman）：最大的挑戰之一就是向人們教育以太坊。許多傳統金融領域的人仍然不熟悉該技術或其收益。

We also face challenges due to the regulatory environment. Crypto is still largely unregulated in the U.S., which can make it difficult for banks and other institutions to adopt the technology.

由於監管環境，我們還面臨挑戰。在美國，加密貨幣仍然很大程度上不受監管，這可能使銀行和其他機構難以採用這項技術。

CoinDesk: What are banks' views on layer-2 rollups?

Coindesk：銀行對2層匯總的看法是什麼？

Vivek Raman: Banks are generally interested in layer-2 rollups because they have the potential to improve the scalability, cost and efficiency of Ethereum transactions.

維維克·拉曼（Vivek Raman）：銀行通常對2層匯總感興趣，因為它們有可能提高以太坊交易的可擴展性，成本和效率。

However, banks are also concerned about the security and reliability of layer-2 rollups. They want to make sure that their customers' funds are safe and that transactions will be processed quickly and reliably.

但是，銀行還擔心第2層匯總的安全性和可靠性。他們想確保客戶的資金是安全的，並且交易將快速而可靠地處理。

We expect that banks will begin to adopt layer-2 rollups in 2023 as the technology matures and is proven to be secure and reliable at scale.

我們預計，隨著技術的成熟，銀行將在2023年開始採用2層匯總，並被證明是安全和可靠的。
