瑞銀在以太坊推出代幣化投資基金，瞄準日益增長的投資者需求

瑞銀緊接在貝萊德和富蘭克林鄧普頓之後，推出了由美國國債支持的代幣化基金。這些資金目前價值分別為 5.3 億美元和 4.1 億美元。

Banking behemoth UBS is rolling out a tokenized investment fund on Ethereum, marking the latest pivot by a traditional finance giant toward public blockchains.

銀行巨頭瑞銀集團正在以太坊上推出代幣化投資基金，標誌著傳統金融巨頭轉向公共區塊鏈的最新舉措。

The Swiss bank joins the likes of BlackRock and Franklin Templeton, which have launched tokenized funds backed by US Treasuries. Those funds have grown to be worth $530 million and $410 million, respectively, according to data from RWA.xyz.

這家瑞士銀行加入了貝萊德和富蘭克林鄧普頓等公司的行列，推出了由美國國債支持的代幣化基金。根據 RWA.xyz 的數據，這些基金的價值已分別增至 5.3 億美元和 4.1 億美元。

UBS’ USD Money Market Investment Fund Token, or uMINT, will be fully backed by “money market instruments,” the bank stated in a news release Friday. It was not immediately clear whether US Treasury assets will be included.

瑞銀在周五的新聞稿中表示，其美元貨幣市場投資基金代幣（uMINT）將得到「貨幣市場工具」的全面支持。目前尚不清楚美國國債資產是否會被納入其中。

Spokespeople for UBS did not immediately return DL News’ request for comment Friday.

瑞銀發言人週五沒有立即回應 DL News 的置評請求。

“We have seen growing investor appetite for tokenized financial assets across asset classes,” said Thomas Kaegi, co-head of UBS Asset Management’s Asian arm, in the statement.

瑞銀資產管理亞洲部門聯席主管 Thomas Kaegi 在聲明中表示：“我們看到投資者對各種資產類別的代幣化金融資產的興趣不斷增長。”

The fund isn’t UBS’ first venture into crypto.

該基金並非瑞銀首次涉足加密領域。

In 2022, the bank launched a publicly traded, digital bond that settles on a private blockchain. UBS was also a participant in a recent pilot program led by the Monetary Authority of Singapore to explore the tokenisation of traditional assets.

2022 年，該銀行推出了一種在私人區塊鏈上結算的公開交易數位債券。瑞銀也參與了新加坡金融管理局最近領導的一項試點計劃，旨在探索傳統資產的代幣化。

Despite the rollout of such crypto-based financial products, Wall Street has largely steered clear of the broader crypto economy.

儘管推出了此類基於加密貨幣的金融產品，但華爾街基本上避開了更廣泛的加密經濟。

“We go to jail if we don’t know who we’re trading with,” a BlackRock executive said at a conference hosted by Coinbase last year.

「如果我們不知道自己在和誰交易，我們就會進監獄，」貝萊德的一位高層去年在 Coinbase 主辦的一次會議上表示。

But the tokenisation of assets has been championed by financial powerhouses.

但資產代幣化一直受到金融巨頭的支持。

BlackRock CEO Larry Fink has stated that his end goal is “the tokenisation of every financial asset.”

貝萊德執行長拉里·芬克表示，他的最終目標是「每種金融資產的代幣化」。

Bernstein analysts called the March launch of BlackRock’s BUIDL “the next evolution of financial markets, similar to the ETF wave of the last two decades,” and “the first major test-case for institutional holders to experience 24/7 instant settlement benefits of the blockchain.”

伯恩斯坦分析師稱貝萊德3 月推出的BUIDL 是“金融市場的下一次演變，類似於過去二十年的ETF 浪潮”，也是“機構持有人體驗24/7 即時結算優勢的第一個重大測試案例」。區塊鏈。”

Earlier this year, JPMorgan Chase and Visa also joined a project to test the feasibility of tokenising cash and other assets.

今年早些時候，摩根大通和 Visa 也加入了一個項目，測試現金和其他資產代幣化的可行性。

Money funds have been the most popular test case so far.

貨幣基金是迄今為止最受歡迎的測試案例。

While they’re new to crypto, they’re already a fixture in the broader financial system.

雖然它們是加密貨幣領域的新手，但它們已經成為更廣泛的金融體系中的固定資產。

The first money fund launched in 1971. Since then, the sector has amassed more than $6.4 trillion in assets in the US alone. That’s about three times the valuation of the entire cryptocurrency market, which currently sits at $2.1 trillion.

第一個貨幣基金於 1971 年推出。這大約是整個加密貨幣市場估值的三倍，目前整個加密貨幣市場估值為 2.1 兆美元。
