澳大利亚即将推出现货比特币 ETF，加入加密货币采用运动

澳大利亚领先的证券交易所 ASX 计划在今年年底前批准多个现货比特币 ETF。在美国和香港获得类似批准后，VanEck Australia 和 BetaShares 的申请引发了人们的兴趣。预计比特币 ETF 的需求将来自基金经理、自营超级基金投资者和散户投资者，前三年潜在净流入 3-40 亿美元。

Australia Primed for Bitcoin ETF Launch, Poised to Join Global Wave of Crypto Adoption

澳大利亚准备推出比特币 ETF，准备加入全球加密货币采用浪潮

Australia's financial landscape is poised for a significant breakthrough as the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX), the nation's premier stock exchange, is set to approve several spot Bitcoin (BTC) exchange-traded funds (ETFs) by year's end. This eagerly anticipated move follows the successful launches of Bitcoin ETFs in the United States and Hong Kong, signaling a growing global embrace of cryptocurrency investing.

澳大利亚的金融格局有望实现重大突破，澳大利亚证券交易所（ASX）作为全国首屈一指的证券交易所，将于年底前批准多个现货比特币（BTC）交易所交易基金（ETF）。继美国和香港成功推出比特币 ETF 之后，这一备受期待的举措标志着全球越来越多地接受加密货币投资。

Sources close to the matter have confided in Bloomberg that applications from fund issuers VanEck Australia and local ETF specialist BetaShares are poised for approval before the year's close. This surge in spot Bitcoin ETF applications mirrors the recent greenlighting of Bitcoin ETFs in the United States, which have swiftly amassed an impressive $53 billion in assets under management (AUM) across eleven distinct products.

知情人士向彭博社透露，基金发行人 VanEck Australia 和当地 ETF 专家 BetaShares 的申请有望在今年年底前获得批准。现货比特币 ETF 申请的激增反映了美国最近对比特币 ETF 的批准，这些 ETF 的 11 种不同产品的管理资产 (AUM) 迅速积累了令人印象深刻的 530 亿美元。

Justin Arzadon, BetaShares' Head of Digital, attributes the surge in interest to the resounding success of U.S.-based products, which have instilled confidence in the viability of launching similar offerings in Australia. "These inflows demonstrate that digital assets are here to stay," Arzadon asserts.

BetaShares 数字主管 Justin Arzadon 将兴趣激增归因于美国产品的巨大成功，这让人们对在澳大利亚推出类似产品的可行性充满信心。 Arzadon 断言：“这些资金流入表明数字资产将继续存在。”

In an exclusive interview with Cointelegraph, Jeff Yew, CEO of crypto asset management firm Monochrome, which has submitted an application with a competing exchange, paints a compelling picture of Australia's crypto-centric landscape. He characterizes Australia as a "very crypto-heavy country" and anticipates that Australian spot Bitcoin ETFs will generate a staggering $3 billion to $4 billion in net inflows within the initial three years.

加密资产管理公司 Monochrome 的首席执行官 Jeff Yew 在接受 Cointelegraph 的独家采访时，向竞争对手的交易所提交了一份申请，描绘了一幅澳大利亚以加密货币为中心的景观。他将澳大利亚描述为“加密货币非常密集的国家”，并预计澳大利亚现货比特币 ETF 将在最初三年内产生惊人的 30 亿至 40 亿美元的净流入。

Yew attributes the anticipated demand for Bitcoin ETFs to a trifecta of investor groups: fund managers seeking Bitcoin exposure, self-managed super fund (SMSF) investors, and a sizable albeit smaller contingent of retail investors.

Yew 将比特币 ETF 的预期需求归因于三个投资者群体：寻求比特币投资的基金经理、自我管理超级基金（SMSF）投资者以及规模虽小但规模相当大的散户投资者。

Yew highlights the inherent risks associated with SMSF investors holding direct Bitcoin exposure on crypto exchanges, describing it as a "ticking time bomb" in the event of an exchange collapse. He emphasizes that Bitcoin ETFs provide these investors with a safer, heavily regulated avenue for exposure to digital assets.

Yew 强调了 SMSF 投资者在加密货币交易所直接持有比特币的固有风险，称其为交易所崩溃时的“定时炸弹”。他强调，比特币 ETF 为这些投资者提供了更安全、受到严格监管的数字资产投资途径。

Monochrome initially submitted an application for a spot Bitcoin ETF with the ASX on July 14, 2021, but subsequently shifted its focus to Cboe Australia, a smaller exchange, due to the protracted approval process at the ASX.

Monochrome 最初于 2021 年 7 月 14 日向澳大利亚证券交易所提交了现货比特币 ETF 申请，但由于澳大利亚证券交易所的审批流程旷日持久，随后将其重点转移到规模较小的交易所 Cboe Australia。

"We switched to Cboe because it offers a more realistic time frame and a more transparent listing framework," Yew explains. "The challenges the ASX has faced with the regulator lately are no secret. Their appetite for new product approvals seems limited."

“我们转向芝加哥期权交易所是因为它提供了更现实的时间框架和更透明的上市框架，”Yew 解释道。 “澳大利亚证券交易所最近面临监管机构的挑战已不是什么秘密。他们对新产品批准的兴趣似乎有限。”

Yew remains confident that Cboe Australia will approve his firm's application "within the next few weeks."

Yew 仍然相信澳大利亚芝加哥期权交易所将在“未来几周内”批准其公司的申请。

Experts believe that the imminent approval of spot Bitcoin ETFs in Australia will further propel the nation's crypto adoption journey. These ETFs will offer investors a convenient and regulated way to gain exposure to Bitcoin, mirroring the growing trend witnessed globally. As the world embraces the transformative power of digital assets, Australia is poised to take its rightful place as a leading player in this burgeoning industry.

专家认为，澳大利亚即将批准现货比特币 ETF，将进一步推动该国的加密货币采用之旅。这些 ETF 将为投资者提供一种便捷且受监管的方式来投资比特币，反映了全球不断增长的趋势。随着世界拥抱数字资产的变革力量，澳大利亚已准备好在这个新兴行业中占据应有的领先地位。
