Galaxy Digital 為早期加密貨幣公司推出 1 億美元風險基金

Financial services behemoth Galaxy Digital is venturing into the realm of early-stage crypto investments with the establishment of a $100 million fund. This move marks a significant expansion of the company's venture capital arm, Galaxy Ventures, which was previously solely funded by Galaxy Digital's balance sheet.

金融服務巨頭 Galaxy Digital 設立了一檔 1 億美元的基金，正在進軍早期加密貨幣投資領域。此舉標誌著該公司創投部門 Galaxy Ventures 的重大擴張，該部門先前完全由 Galaxy Digital 的資產負債表提供資金。

The Galaxy Ventures Fund I will invest in approximately 30 crypto startups over the next three years, focusing on companies developing financial applications, software infrastructure, and protocols built on blockchain technology. The fund's investment strategy aligns with Galaxy Digital's broader belief in the transformative potential of cryptocurrencies and decentralized technologies.

Galaxy Ventures Fund I 將在未來三年內投資約 30 家加密新創公司，專注於開發基於區塊鏈技術的金融應用程式、軟體基礎設施和協議的公司。該基金的投資策略符合 Galaxy Digital 對加密貨幣和去中心化技術的變革潛力的更廣泛信念。

"The new fund will continue the success of our proprietary balance sheet investing but through a direct, institutional-grade fund," Galaxy Digital stated in an email to investors.

Galaxy Digital 在給投資者的電子郵件中表示：“新基金將透過直接的機構級基金繼續我們專有資產負債表投資的成功。”

SEC Opens Comment Period on Three Ether Spot ETFs

美國證券交易委員會 (SEC) 對三隻以太坊現貨 ETF 開啟徵求意見期

The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has initiated a three-week comment period for three proposed ether (ETH) spot exchange-traded funds (ETFs). The proposals, submitted by Grayscale Investments, Fidelity, and Bitwise, seek to provide investors with a regulated and accessible way to gain exposure to the second-largest cryptocurrency.

美國證券交易委員會 (SEC) 已對三隻擬議的以太坊 (ETH) 現貨交易所交易基金 (ETF) 啟動為期三週的徵求意見期。這些提案由 Grayscale Investments、Fidelity 和 Bitwise 提交，旨在為投資者提供一種受監管且可訪問的方式來接觸第二大加密貨幣。

Despite initial optimism following the SEC's approval of bitcoin spot ETFs in January, analysts have tempered their expectations for similar approvals for ether-based products. The SEC had previously resisted bitcoin ETF applications until a court ruling forced their hand. However, officials have since clarified that this decision does not extend to other cryptocurrencies.

儘管美國證券交易委員會 (SEC) 一月份批准比特幣現貨 ETF 後，分析師們最初持樂觀態度，但分析師們已經降低了對基於以太坊的產品獲得類似批准的預期。 SEC 先前曾拒絕比特幣 ETF 申請，直到法院裁決迫使他們採取行動。然而，官員隨後澄清，這項決定並不適用於其他加密貨幣。

Investment firm VanEck has published a bullish report on Ethereum layer-2 (L2) networks, predicting a potential valuation of over $1 trillion by 2030. The report assesses 46 L2 networks across five key areas and anticipates the emergence of numerous successful rollups.

Arbitrum currently leads the L2 ecosystem with over $18 billion in locked tokens, capturing a significant portion of the $36 billion locked across all 46 networks evaluated.

Arbitrum 目前以超過 180 億美元的鎖定代幣引領 L2 生態系統，佔據了評估的所有 46 個網路中 360 億美元鎖定代幣的很大一部分。 VanEck 分析師預計，根據其生態系統內的資產數量，以太坊最終將在所有公共區塊鏈中佔據 60% 的市場份額。
