ETF 核准後，高盛巨鯨重返加密貨幣領域

在 ETF 獲得批准後，高盛的鯨魚正在加密貨幣市場捲土重來。在 2022 年因 FTX 崩盤而暴跌之後，這些大型投資者對數位資產重新表現出了興趣。比特幣 ETF 的批准重新點燃了他們對加密貨幣的興趣，有報告證實加密貨幣活動正在復甦。高盛數位資產主管已正式確認這些有影響力的參與者重返市場。

Goldman's Large Investors Dive Back into Crypto After ETF Approval

ETF 獲準後高盛大型投資者重返加密貨幣市場

Are Goldman Sachs' largest investors regaining their appetite for crypto? It seems so, as reports indicate renewed activity following the approval of a spot Bitcoin exchange-traded fund (ETF). Last year, such clients were largely dormant, a byproduct of the 2022 FTX collapse. However, the recent ETF approval has sparked a resurgence of interest, with many of these large clients returning to the market.

高盛最大的投資者是否重新恢復了對加密貨幣的興趣？看來確實如此，因為有報告顯示，在現貨比特幣交易所交易基金（ETF）獲得批准後，活動重新開始。去年，這類客戶大部分處於休眠狀態，這是 2022 年 FTX 崩盤的副產品。然而，最近 ETF 的批准再次引發了人們的興趣，其中許多大客戶重返市場。

Goldman's Digital Assets Head Confirms Resurgence

高盛數位資產主管確認復甦

Max Minton, head of digital assets for Goldman Asia Pacific, has confirmed the uptick in activity. According to Minton, the ten-spot Bitcoin ETF approvals have triggered this resurgence. Interestingly, Goldman Sachs had previously hinted at this impact in a post published by Crypto News Flash.

高盛亞太區數位資產主管馬克斯·明頓(Max Minton)證實了活動的增加。 Minton 表示，十現貨比特幣 ETF 的批准引發了這種復甦。有趣的是，高盛先前曾在 Crypto News Flash 發表的一篇文章中暗示過這種影響。

McDermott Provides Context to the Situation

麥克德莫特提供了情境背景

In February 2023, Mathew McDermott, Goldman Sachs' global head of digital assets, shed light on the indecision of large investors to re-enter the market. He emphasized the challenges posed by the lack of better-regulated and capitalized entities in crypto adoption. Additionally, the market pullbacks experienced in 2022 following the FTX exchange collapse, which pushed most assets to trade about 90% below their all-time highs, also contributed to the reluctance of large investors.

2023 年 2 月，高盛數位資產全球主管 Mathew McDermott 揭示了大型投資者對於重新進入市場的猶豫不決。他強調了加密貨幣採用中缺乏監管和資本充足的實體所帶來的挑戰。此外，FTX 交易所崩盤後，2022 年市場出現回調，導致大多數資產交易價格比歷史高點低約 90%，也導致大型投資者不願投資。

Existing Clients Renew Interest in Crypto

現有客戶對加密貨幣重新產生興趣

Goldman's crypto trading desk, launched in 2021, has seen significant growth, offering cash-settled Bitcoin and Ether option trading alongside CME-listed Bitcoin and Ether futures. However, last year remained relatively quiet as the crypto market completed its recovery phase. This year, the broader market has shown signs of impressive gains, with Bitcoin setting a new all-time-high price ahead of the highly anticipated halving event.

高盛於 2021 年推出的加密貨幣交易平台取得了顯著增長，提供現金結算的比特幣和以太幣期權交易以及在芝商所上市的比特幣和以太幣期貨。然而，隨著加密貨幣市場完成復甦階段，去年仍然相對平靜。今年，更廣泛的市場已經顯示出令人印象深刻的上漲跡象，比特幣在備受期待的減半事件之前創下了新的歷史最高價格。

As Minton confirms, the majority of the current interest stems from existing clients, primarily traditional hedge funds. He further discloses that the bank is actively expanding into a wider client base, including asset managers, bank clients, and selected digital asset firms.

正如明頓所證實的那樣，目前的大部分興趣來自現有客戶，主要是傳統對沖基金。他進一步透露，該銀行正在積極拓展更廣泛的客戶群，包括資產管理公司、銀行客戶和選定的數位資產公司。

Goldman's Role Extends Beyond Crypto Trading

高盛的角色超越了加密貨幣交易

Goldman Sachs' involvement in the industry extends beyond crypto trading, encompassing traditional asset tokenization using blockchain. According to McDermott, the bank's focus in crypto revolves around "tokenization, remaking the plumbing of the financial market, and the impact of digital money on markets."

高盛對該行業的參與不僅限於加密貨幣交易，還包括使用區塊鏈的傳統資產代幣化。麥克德莫特表示，該銀行在加密領域的重點圍繞著「代幣化、重塑金融市場的管道以及數位貨幣對市場的影響」。

Excitement for the Future of Crypto

對加密貨幣未來的興奮

McDermott expresses enthusiasm for the potential of crypto technology, stating, "The excitement from our side is ... seeing how this technology can impact many different parts of the financial system and have a real commercial impact." He believes the industry is in its early stages of adoption, with financial institutions increasingly building out their digital asset teams and strategies.

麥克德莫特表達了對加密技術潛力的熱情，他表示：“我們感到興奮的是……看到這項技術如何影響金融系統的許多不同部分，並產生真正的商業影響。”他認為，該行業正處於採用的早期階段，金融機構越來越多地建立其數位資產團隊和策略。
