瑞士蘇黎世州銀行 (ZKB) 透過推出比特幣和以太坊交易和託管服務擴大其產品範圍

該銀行在一份新聞稿中透露了這一進展，並表示從今天開始，其客戶可以交易和儲存比特幣（BTC）和以太坊（ETH）。

Switzerland’s fourth-largest bank, Zürcher Kantonalbank (ZKB), has announced the launch of trading and custody services for Bitcoin and Ethereum.

瑞士第四大銀行蘇黎世州銀行（ZKB）宣布推出比特幣和以太坊的交易和託管服務。

According to a press release, customers of the bank will be able to trade and store Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH) starting today. While the financial institution is initially offering support for only BTC and ETH, it hinted at plans to integrate other assets in the future.

根據新聞稿，從今天開始，該銀行的客戶將能夠交易和儲存比特幣（BTC）和以太坊（ETH）。雖然該金融機構最初只提供對 BTC 和 ETH 的支持，但它暗示計劃在未來整合其他資產。

“Bitcoin and Ethereum are available for the time being […] Our newly launched offer in the area of cryptocurrencies offers a high level of security and allows the integration of additional currencies,” the bank said in a statement.

該銀行在一份聲明中表示：“比特幣和以太坊暫時可用……我們在加密貨幣領域新推出的產品提供了高水平的安全性，並允許整合其他貨幣。”

The new services have been integrated into the bank's existing channels, including ZKB Mobile Banking and e-Banking platforms, as per the announcement. This will allow customers to access the newly added services directly from familiar platforms.

根據公告，新服務已整合到銀行現有管道，包括 ZKB 手機銀行和電子銀行平台。這將允許客戶直接從熟悉的平台存取新添加的服務。

Importantly, ZKB highlighted that it will provide secure storage of private keys, eliminating the need for customers to set up their wallets.

重要的是，ZKB 強調它將提供私鑰的安全存儲，從而消除客戶設定錢包的需求。

The service is also available to other Swiss-based banks through ZKB's B2B solution, enabling third-party Swiss banks to offer crypto trading and custody services to their clients. Notably, Thurgauer Kantonalbank has already partnered with ZKB to adopt the service.

該服務還可以透過 ZKB 的 B2B 解決方案向其他瑞士銀行提供，使第三方瑞士銀行能夠為其客戶提供加密貨幣交易和託管服務。值得注意的是，Thurgauer Kantonalbank 已經與 ZKB 合作採用這項服務。

For context, Zürcher Kantonalbank ranks as the fourth largest bank in Switzerland. In May, GlobalBank reported that ZKB had CHF 192 billion ($225.7 billion) in assets under management (AUM).

就背景而言，蘇黎世州銀行是瑞士第四大銀行。 5 月份，GlobalBank 報告稱，ZKB 管理資產 (AUM) 為 1,920 億瑞士法郎（2,257 億美元）。

ZKB Deepens Ties with Cryptos

ZKB 加深與加密貨幣的聯繫

ZKB's latest offering further expands its foray into the crypto industry. The bank has been exploring opportunities in the burgeoning market since 2021 when it participated in issuing the first digital bond on the Zurich-based exchange SIX.

ZKB 的最新產品進一步擴大了對加密產業的涉足。自 2021 年參與在蘇黎世交易所 SIX 發行第一支數位債券以來，該銀行一直在這個新興市場中探索機會。

Two years later, Zürcher Kantonalbank co-led the issuance of digital bonds with central bank digital currency (CBDC). This initiative is part of the Swiss National Bank’s (SNB) digital currency pilot project.

兩年後，蘇黎世州銀行與央行數位貨幣（CBDC）共同主導發行數位債券。該舉措是瑞士國家銀行（SNB）數位貨幣試點計畫的一部分。

Swiss Banks Offer Crypto Services

瑞士銀行提供加密服務

The newly introduced service confirms that traditional financial institutions are pivoting toward cryptocurrencies. It bears mentioning that the majority of these banks are based in Switzerland due to its crypto-friendly regulations.

新推出的服務證實了傳統金融機構正在轉向加密貨幣。值得一提的是，由於瑞士的加密貨幣法規友好，這些銀行大多位於瑞士。

In 2022, Bank Syz introduced crypto trading and custody services for four major cryptocurrencies: Bitcoin, Ethereum, Polygon, and Chainlink.

2022 年，Bank Syz 推出了四種主要加密貨幣的加密交易和託管服務：比特幣、以太坊、Polygon 和 Chainlink。

Moreover, Zuger Kantonalbank followed a similar approach, launching digital assets services for six cryptos, including XRP and BTC.
