由於市場波動，奧林匹亞金融放棄比特幣託管計劃

由於近期市場波動，風險偏好加劇，加拿大信託公司奧林匹亞金融公司決定停止進軍比特幣託管業務的計畫。該決定是在與提供託管服務的諾克斯資本 (Knox Capital) 的合作因終止而結束後作出的。在 4 月達成初步協議時，比特幣的交易價格接近 55,000 美元，但此後已大幅下跌，其中最近的下跌歸因於特斯拉執行長馬斯克 (Elon Musk) 的一條推文。

Olympia Financial Abandons Bitcoin Custody Plans Amid Market Volatility

由於市場波動，奧林匹亞金融放棄比特幣託管計劃

Toronto, Canada (June 4, 2021) - Olympia Financial, a Canadian trust company, has abruptly reversed its decision to enter the bitcoin custody business, citing concerns over current market conditions. The company had previously announced plans to partner with Knox Capital to provide custody services for the leading cryptocurrency.

加拿大多倫多（2021 年 6 月 4 日）—加拿大信託公司 Olympia Financial 突然改變了進入比特幣託管業務的決定，理由是對當前市場狀況的擔憂。該公司先前曾宣布計劃與諾克斯資本合作，為領先的加密貨幣提供託管服務。

The decision to scrap the initiative comes amidst significant price fluctuations in the bitcoin market. In April, when the partnership with Knox was announced, the price of bitcoin hovered around $50,000, near its all-time high. However, a sharp correction ensued, with the price plummeting to below $30,000 in mid-May.

取消該計劃的決定是在比特幣市場價格大幅波動的情況下做出的。今年 4 月，當宣布與 Knox 合作時，比特幣的價格徘徊在 5 萬美元左右，接近歷史高點。然而，隨後出現大幅調整，價格在 5 月中旬暴跌至 30,000 美元以下。

Olympia's decision reflects a growing wariness among financial institutions towards the volatility of the cryptocurrency market. The company's internal risk appetite, a measure of its willingness to tolerate uncertainty, has evidently been tested by the recent price swings.

奧林匹亞的決定反映出金融機構對加密貨幣市場的波動性越來越謹慎。該公司的內部風險偏好（衡量其容忍不確定性的意願的指標）顯然已經受到近期價格波動的考驗。

The termination of Olympia's agreement with Knox effectively ends the company's foray into the bitcoin custody space. Knox's custody system, which was expected to be integrated into Olympia's operations, will no longer be utilized.

奧林匹亞與諾克斯協議的終止實際上結束了該公司進軍比特幣託管領域的進程。諾克斯的託管系統原本預計將整合到奧林匹亞的營運中，但將不再使用。

The volatile nature of the cryptocurrency market has been a major obstacle for companies seeking to offer custody services. The value of bitcoin and other digital assets can fluctuate wildly in short periods, posing significant risks for custodians who hold client funds.

加密貨幣市場的波動性一直是尋求提供託管服務的公司的主要障礙。比特幣和其他數位資產的價值可能在短期內大幅波動，為持有客戶資金的託管人帶來重大風險。

The recent turmoil in the bitcoin market has been further exacerbated by a series of negative tweets from Tesla CEO Elon Musk. Musk's public statements have drawn attention to the environmental concerns surrounding bitcoin mining and raised questions about the long-term sustainability of the cryptocurrency.

特斯拉執行長馬斯克(Elon Musk)發布的一系列負面推文進一步加劇了比特幣市場近期的動盪。馬斯克的公開聲明引起了人們對圍繞比特幣挖礦的環境問題的關注，並對加密貨幣的長期可持續性提出了質疑。

As a result of these factors, Olympia has joined a growing number of financial institutions that have decided to distance themselves from the bitcoin custody market. The company's decision underscores the challenges faced by institutions seeking to navigate the rapidly evolving and highly volatile cryptocurrency landscape.

由於這些因素，奧林匹亞已經加入了越來越多的金融機構的行列，決定遠離比特幣託管市場。該公司的決定凸顯了尋求應對快速發展且高度波動的加密貨幣環境的機構所面臨的挑戰。
