Israelis will soon have a new way to invest in Bitcoin, with the Israel Securities Authority (ISA) approving six Bitcoin mutual funds that will launch on December 31.

以色列人很快就會有一種投資比特幣的新方式，以色列證券管理局 (ISA) 批准了六支將於 12 月 31 日推出的比特幣共同基金。

This marks the first time that Israeli investors will have access to Bitcoin-focused mutual funds. The funds will be offered by Migdal Capital Markets, More, Ayalon, Phoenix Investment, Meitav, and IBI, and will all go live at once, as per a condition from regulators.

這標誌著以色列投資者首次獲得以比特幣為重點的共同基金。這些基金將由 Migdal Capital Markets、More、Ayalon、Phoenix Investment、Meitav 和 IBI 提供，並將根據監管機構的條件立即上線。

Management fees for the funds will range from 0.25% to 1.5%, with one fund being actively managed in an attempt to beat Bitcoin’s market performance.

這些基金的管理費將在 0.25% 至 1.5% 之間，其中一隻基金受到積極管理，試圖超越比特幣的市場表現。

For now, transactions will be limited to once a day, though future funds may allow continuous trading. Several investment firms have been awaiting this moment for over a year, with some submitting prospectuses for Bitcoin funds in mid-2024.

目前，交易僅限於每天一次，但未來的基金可能允許連續交易。多家投資公司等待這一時刻已經一年多了，其中一些投資公司已在 2024 年中期提交了比特幣基金的招股說明書。

The regulator, however, has been slowly checking the details, an anonymous investment executive told Calcalist. This move comes after the U.S. SEC approved spot Bitcoin ETFs in January, leading to a combined capital inflow of $35.6 billion as Bitcoin's value doubled and set five new all-time highs in 2024.

然而，一位匿名投資高層告訴 Calcalist，監管機構一直在慢慢檢查細節。此前，美國 SEC 在 1 月批准了現貨比特幣 ETF，隨著比特幣價值翻倍並在 2024 年創下五個新的歷史高點，導致總資本流入達 356 億美元。

Israel's crypto industry has been quietly bubbling away for years, with the Start-Up Nation hosting around 174 crypto-focused companies that collectively employ 3,800 people in areas like blockchain development and algorithmic trading.

以色列的加密貨幣產業多年來一直在悄悄興起，這個新創國家擁有約 174 家專注於加密貨幣的公司，這些公司在區塊鏈開發和演算法交易等領域總共僱用了 3,800 名員工。

However, regulatory bottlenecks have hindered the market's growth, with Israeli banks remaining largely skeptical of crypto transactions due to concerns over money laundering and compliance issues.

然而，監管瓶頸阻礙了市場的成長，由於擔心洗錢和合規問題，以色列銀行對加密貨幣交易仍然持懷疑態度。

Many banks even refuse to process funds that are derived from crypto, making it difficult for investors to comply with tax regulations. In January, the Israel Tax Authority (ITA) introduced a temporary measure that allows taxpayers to report crypto profits through special accounts.

許多銀行甚至拒絕處理源自加密貨幣的資金，使投資者難以遵守稅務法規。一月份，以色列稅務局（ITA）推出了一項臨時措施，讓納稅人透過特殊帳戶報告加密貨幣利潤。

This measure has been extended until December 31, but it serves as a short-term solution to a broader problem. In addition to Bitcoin mutual funds, Israel has also ventured into the realm of Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs).

該措施已延長至 12 月 31 日，但它只是解決更廣泛問題的短期解決方案。除了比特幣共同基金外，以色列還涉足中央銀行數位貨幣（CBDC）領域。

The Bank of Israel has been working on a digital shekel, releasing an architecture paper on the subject earlier this year and launching a test environment in May.

以色列銀行一直致力於數位謝克爾的研究，今年稍早發布了一篇關於該主題的架構論文，並於 5 月啟動了測試環境。

On the economic front, Israel recorded a current account surplus of $4.96 billion in Q2 2024, driven by strong exports and investment inflows. Analysts anticipate the surplus to reach $7.8 billion by the end of the year.

在經濟方面，在強勁出口和投資流入的推動下，以色列 2024 年第二季經常帳盈餘達 49.6 億美元。分析師預計，到今年年底，盈餘將達到 78 億美元。
