尽管自2017年以来避免了加密货币的报告，但高盛在2024年的年度报告中写道，加密货币现在已成为金融市场中的一支力量。

电子交易的增长以及引入新产品和技术（包括加密货币和AI技术）在内的新产品和技术的竞争已经增加了竞争。

Despite avoiding the term crypto in its reports since 2017, Goldman Sachs, a renowned Wall Street investment bank, noted in its 2024 annual report that cryptocurrencies had become a force within the financial markets.

尽管自2017年以来避免了加密货币一词，但著名的华尔街投资银行高盛（Goldman Sachs）在2024年的年度报告中指出，加密货币已成为金融市场中的一支力量。

“The growth of electronic trading,” wrote Goldman Sachs, “and the introduction of new products and technologies, including trading and distributed ledger technologies, such as cryptocurrencies and AI technologies, has increased competition.”

高盛（Goldman Sachs）写道：“电子交易的增长，以及包括加密货币和AI技术等新产品和技术的引入，包括交易和分布式分类帐技术，也增加了竞争。”

The bank did not mention crypto from 2017 to 2023 until this year. There have been many reasons for the bank to consider Bitcoin, from market conditions beating previous highs to the announcement of Bitcoin ETFs and Trump’s pro-crypto administration. Given recent events, it would be difficult for the investment bank to remain silent on crypto.

该银行从2017年到2023年才提及加密货币。该银行考虑比特币的原因有很多，从市场条件胜过以前的高点到宣布比特币ETF和特朗普的Pro-Crypto政府。考虑到最近的事件，投资银行很难对加密货币保持沉默。

“We also compete”, wrote Goldman Sachs, “on the basis of the types of financial products and client experiences that we and our competitors offer. In some circumstances, our competitors may offer financial products that we do not offer and that our clients may prefer, including cryptocurrencies and other digital assets that we cannot or may choose not to provide”.

高盛萨克斯写道：“我们也竞争了，基于我们和我们的竞争对手提供的金融产品和客户体验的类型。在某些情况下，我们的竞争对手可能会提供我们不提供的金融产品，并且我们的客户可能更喜欢，包括加密货币和其他我们不能或可能不提供的数字资产”。

The annual report suggests Goldman Sachs is losing customers to banks that offer more crypto services. The bank has started to invest in crypto assets but remains cautious about digital assets like Bitcoin. In 2021, Goldman Sachs introduced a crypto trading desk; in 2022, it introduced a digital assets platform.

年度报告表明，高盛（Goldman Sachs）正在为提供更多加密服务的银行失去客户。该银行已经开始投资加密资产，但对像比特币这样的数字资产保持谨慎。 2021年，高盛（Goldman Sachs）推出了一家加密货币台。在2022年，它引入了数字资产平台。

In 2024, Goldman Sachs raised its crypto ETF holdings from $744 million in the third quarter to $2.05 billion in the fourth quarter. The bank also increased its Bitcoin ETF holdings by 15%. The bank has taken an interest in the blockchain industry, being one of the few banks to invest in the Canton network, using blockchain technology to improve financial record keeping.

2024年，高盛（Goldman Sachs）将其加密ETF股份从第三季度的7.44亿美元提高到第四季度的20.5亿美元。该银行还将其比特币ETF持有量增加了15％。该银行对区块链行业产生了兴趣，这是使用区块链技术来改善财务记录的少数几家投资广州网络的银行之一。

The 2024 annual report for Goldman Sachs showed positive results with a Return on Equity (ROE) of 12.7%. Earnings per share jumped by 77%. And shareholder return soared by 52%. With a strong annual report, Goldman Sachs offered cautionary words concerning crypto: “Although the prevalence and scope of applications of distributed ledger technology, cryptocurrency, and similar technologies are growing, the technology is nascent and may be vulnerable to cyber-attacks or have other inherent weaknesses.”

高盛的2024年年度报告显示了积极的结果，股本回报率（ROE）为12.7％。每股收益跃升了77％。股东的回报飙升了52％。有了强有力的年度报告，高盛（Goldman Sachs）提供了有关加密货币的警告性词：“尽管分布式分类帐技术，加密货币和类似技术的应用范围和应用的范围和范围正在增长，但该技术却很新生，但可能易受网络攻击或其他固有弱点。”

However, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) reported that Goldman Sachs has a substantial holding in Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs, exceeding $1 billion in assets, showing a strong desire by the investment bank to embrace digital assets. This cannot be an accident or some side project because, despite the criticism of crypto, Goldman Sachs has taken a substantial holding in the asset, suggesting that they are taking crypto’s popularity and widespread adoption seriously.

但是，美国证券交易委员会（SEC）报告说，高盛在比特币和以太坊ETF中拥有大量持有，超过了10亿美元的资产，表明投资银行对接受数字资产的强烈愿望。这不是一个事故或某个附带项目，因为尽管批评了加密货币，但高盛（Goldman Sachs）还是对资产进行了大量持有，这表明他们正在认真对待加密货币的知名度并认真地采用了广泛的采用。

Investors may be more interested in crypto after a large bank like Goldman Sachs makes a substantial investment. The bank is less likely to make impulsive decisions and will hold onto the asset for a longer period, adding to accumulated funds rather than making risky short-term gains. Other institutional buyers may ride the coattails of Goodman Sachs and further deplete the finite amount of Bitcoin in the market, further boosting the prices and promoting crypto amongst the investment community.

在像高盛这样的大型银行进行大量投资之后，投资者可能对加密货币更感兴趣。该银行不太可能做出冲动的决定，并将在更长的时间内保留资产，从而增加了累积资金，而不是带来风险的短期收益。其他机构买家可能会乘坐古德曼·萨克斯（Goodman Sachs）的高级牛排，并进一步耗尽市场上有限的比特币，进一步提高价格并促进投资界的加密货币。

Most of Goldman Sachs’s crypto holdings were in Bitcoin and a lesser amount in Ethereum. Most of its Bitcoin holdings are in BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT), with Goldman Sachs owning 24 million shares. The investment includes Fidelity’s Wise Origin Bitcoin Trust (FBTC) and Grayscale Bitcoin Trust (GBTC).

高盛的大多数加密货币持有物中的大部分都是比特币，以太坊的数量较低。它的大部分比特币持有量都在贝莱德的iShares比特币信托基金（IBIT）中，高盛拥有2400万股股票。这项投资包括Fidelity的明智来源比特币信托（FBTC）和灰度比特币信托（GBTC）。

Goldman Sachs’ increased interest in crypto, as evidenced by their mention of the digital asset in their recent annual report, shows a positive trend amongst traditional investors. Bitcoin is often viewed as analogous to gold, a store of value to hedge against market volatility. Ethereum provides access to Decentralized Finance (DeFi) and other blockchain applications. As the market matures and survives short-term bubbles, more and more investors may take a long-term interest in the new asset.

高盛对加密货币的兴趣增加，这在他们最近的年度报告中提到了数字资产，这表明传统投资者的积极趋势。比特币经常被视为类似于黄金，这是对冲市场波动的价值存储。以太坊提供了对分散融资（DEFI）和其他区块链应用程序的访问权限。随着市场的成熟和生存，短期泡沫，越来越多的投资者可能会对新资产产生长期利益。
