以色列金融市場將於下週見證六支比特幣共同基金的首次亮相

在以色列證券管理局（ISA）最近批准後，以色列金融市場將有六隻追蹤比特幣價格的共同基金將於下週首次亮相。

Israel financial markets are set to witness the debut of six mutual funds tracking the Bitcoin price next week, following recent approval from the Israel Securities Authority (ISA). As reported by local news publication Calcalist on Sunday, all three mutual funds will begin operations on the same day, December 31.

在以色列證券管理局（ISA）最近批准後，以色列金融市場將於下週見證六隻追蹤比特幣價格的共同基金的首次亮相。根據當地新聞刊物 Calcalist 週日報道，所有三隻共同基金將於 12 月 31 日同一天開始營運。

After licensing these new funds last week, the ISA will now allow investors to access Bitcoin investments through the local currency, the shekel. These funds will be purchased at the market price of Bitcoin at the time orders are placed, which will occur once daily.

在上週獲得這些新基金的許可後，ISA 現在將允許投資者透過當地貨幣謝克爾進行比特幣投資。這些資金將以下訂單時比特幣的市場價格購買，每天一次。

The new mutual funds will track the Bitcoin price through various methods, including indexes and active strategies. Additionally, some of these six mutual funds will also track leading U.S. Bitcoin ETFs, including BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust ETF (IBIT). One of the funds will be actively managed, aiming to outpace Bitcoin returns.

新的共同基金將透過各種方法追蹤比特幣價格，包括指數和主動策略。此外，這六隻共同基金中的一些還將追蹤美國領先的比特幣 ETF，包括貝萊德的 iShares 比特幣信託 ETF (IBIT)。其中一檔基金將進行積極管理，旨在超越比特幣回報。

These Bitcoin mutual funds will be managed by Migdal Capital Markets, More, Ayalon, Phoenix Investment, Meitav, and IBI, with management fees ranging from 1.5% to 0.25%. The approval from the ISA comes nearly a year after the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) approved spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) in the U.S., the world’s largest economy.

這些比特幣共同基金將由 Migdal Capital Markets、More、Ayalon、Phoenix Investment、Meitav 和 IBI 管理，管理費從 1.5% 到 0.25% 不等。 ISA 的批准是在美國證券交易委員會 (SEC) 批准全球最大經濟體美國現貨比特幣交易所交易基金 (ETF) 近一年後獲得的。

Since then, BTC has more than doubled in value, nearing a record high. Meanwhile, U.S. funds have attracted a net $35.6 billion in investor capital. Commenting on the development, a senior executive of an investment house said:

從那時起，比特幣的價值已經增加了一倍多，接近歷史新高。同時，美國基金淨吸引了 356 億美元的投資者資本。一家投資公司的高階主管在評論這項發展時表示：

“The investment houses have been pleading for more than a year for ETFs to be approved and started sending prospectuses for bitcoin funds in the middle of the year. But the regulator marches to its own tune. It has to check the details.”

「投資公司一年多來一直在懇求 ETF 獲得批准，並在今年年中開始發送比特幣基金招股說明書。但監管機構卻按照自己的步調行事。必須檢查細節。

Rising Demand for Bitcoin Investment Products

對比特幣投資產品的需求不斷增長

Following the launch of Bitcoin ETF in early 2024, which was a massive success with $35 billion in inflows, demand for Bitcoin investment products has been on the rise, as reported by CNF. Moreover, the BTC price rally past $100K levels this year has also encouraged more fund issuers to launch new market products, particularly in the second half of 2024.

根據 CNF 報導，繼 2024 年初推出比特幣 ETF 並取得巨大成功，流入資金達 350 億美元後，對比特幣投資產品的需求一直在上升。此外，今年 BTC 價格上漲超過 10 萬美元水準也鼓勵更多基金發行人推出新的市場產品，特別是在 2024 年下半年。

Strive Asset Management, co-founded by D.O.G.E leader Vivek Ramaswamy, has filed for a new exchange-traded fund (ETF) that will trade in convertible securities pegged to BTC. The Strive Bitcoin Bond ETF aims to capitalize on the growing market for “Bitcoin bonds,” according to a public SEC filing on Thursday, as reported by CNF.

由 DOGE 領導人 Vivek Ramaswamy 共同創立的 Strive Asset Management 已申請成立新的交易所交易基金 (ETF)，該基金將交易與 BTC 掛鉤的可轉換證券。根據 CNF 報導，根據 SEC 週四公開的文件，Strive 比特幣債券 ETF 旨在利用不斷增長的「比特幣債券」市場。

On the other hand, the world’s largest crypto asset manager, Bitwise, filed a proposal for a new exchange-traded fund (ETF) targeting publicly traded companies with significant BTC holdings. In the filing submitted on December 26, Bitwise outlined the criteria for inclusion, which include a minimum market capitalization of $100 million, average daily liquidity of at least $1 million, and a BTC reserve of over 1,000 BTC, as reported by CNF.

另一方面，全球最大的加密資產管理公司 Bitwise 提交了一項新的交易所交易基金 (ETF) 提案，目標是持有大量 BTC 的上市公司。根據 CNF 報導，Bitwise 在 12 月 26 日提交的文件中概述了入選標準，其中包括最低市值 1 億美元、日均流動性至少 100 萬美元以及 BTC 儲備超過 1,000 BTC。
