21Shares 表示，比特币 ETN 在伦敦首次亮相，为英国成为欧洲加密货币中心铺平了道路未来焦点

在本期雅虎财经未来焦点节目中，我们的主持人 Brian McGleenon 与 21Shares 英国负责人 Alex Pollak 讨论了美国和香港目前投资者对比特币交易所交易基金的兴趣，以及比特币和比特币的首次亮相。伦敦证券交易所（LSE）的以太币交易所交易票据（ETN）。

Bitcoin exchange-traded notes (ETNs) have made their debut on the London Stock Exchange (LSE), potentially paving the way for the UK to become a leading crypto hub in Europe, according to 21Shares.

据 21Shares 报道，比特币交易所交易票据（ETN）已在伦敦证券交易所（LSE）首次亮相，这可能为英国成为欧洲领先的加密货币中心铺平道路。

The listing of bitcoin and ether ETNs on the LSE marks a significant development in the UK's crypto market, which has been gradually opening up to digital assets under the Financial Conduct Authority's (FCA) phased approach.

比特币和以太币 ETN 在伦敦证券交易所上市标志着英国加密货币市场的重大发展，该市场已根据金融行为监管局 (FCA) 的分阶段方法逐步向数字资产开放。

“The listing of bitcoin and ether ETNs on the London Stock Exchange is a major development for the UK’s crypto market,” Alex Pollak, head of UK for 21Shares, told Yahoo Finance UK.

21Shares 英国负责人 Alex Pollak 告诉雅虎财经英国：“比特币和以太坊 ETN 在伦敦证券交易所上市是英国加密货币市场的重大发展。”

“It comes as the FCA is gradually opening up the market to digital assets, having banned mass-market marketing of crypto products last year.”

“FCA 正在逐步向数字资产开放市场，并于去年禁止了加密产品的大众市场营销。”

The new ETNs, which are available to trade on the LSE from Monday, will track the price of bitcoin (BTC-USD) and ether (ETH-USD) respectively.

新的 ETN 从周一开始在伦敦证券交易所交易，将分别跟踪比特币 (BTC-USD) 和以太币 (ETH-USD) 的价格。

The bitcoin ETN will trade under the ticker code 'CBTC' and the ether ETN will trade under the ticker code 'CETH'.

比特币 ETN 将以股票代码“CBTC”进行交易，以太坊 ETN 将以股票代码“CETH”进行交易。

Both ETNs will be available in sterling, US dollar, and euro denominations, and will be fully collateralised by the underlying cryptocurrency, held by Standard Chartered Bank (SCBFF) in the UK.

这两种 ETN 都将以英镑、美元和欧元计价，并将由英国渣打银行 (SCBFF) 持有的基础加密货币全额抵押。

The launch of bitcoin and ether ETNs on the LSE follows the debut of a crypto basket ETN by 21Shares on the exchange earlier this year.

继今年早些时候 21Shares 推出加密货币篮子 ETN 之后，伦敦证券交易所又推出了比特币和以太币 ETN。

The listing of bitcoin and ether ETNs in London could mark a significant step towards establishing the UK as a leading crypto hub in Europe.

比特币和以太币 ETN 在伦敦上市可能标志着英国向成为欧洲领先的加密货币中心迈出的重要一步。

The UK government has expressed its ambition to make the country a global centre for digital assets, and the FCA's phased approach to opening the crypto market is designed to strike a balance between protecting consumers and fostering innovation.

英国政府表达了将其打造成全球数字资产中心的雄心，而 FCA 分阶段开放加密货币市场的方法旨在在保护消费者和促进创新之间取得平衡。

“The UK has the potential to become a leading crypto hub in Europe, and the listing of bitcoin and ether ETNs on the LSE is a key step in that direction,” said Pollak.

Pollak 表示：“英国有潜力成为欧洲领先的加密货币中心，而比特币和以太币 ETN 在伦敦证券交易所上市是朝这个方向迈出的关键一步。”

“It will make it easier for investors in the UK to gain exposure to digital assets, and it will also help to legitimise cryptocurrencies in the eyes of mainstream investors.”

“这将使英国投资者更容易获得数字资产，也将有助于使加密货币在主流投资者眼中合法化。”

However, Pollak notes that the new ETNs are currently accessible only to professional investors, as defined by the FCA.

然而，Pollak 指出，根据 FCA 的定义，新的 ETN 目前仅向专业投资者开放。

“The ETNs will be available to trade on the LSE's Main Market, which means that they will be accessible only to professional investors,” he said.

“ETN 将可以在伦敦证券交易所的主要市场上进行交易，这意味着只有专业投资者才能购买它们，”他说。

“The vast majority of individual investors in the UK will not be able to trade these ETNs directly.”

“英国绝大多数个人投资者将无法直接交易这些 ETN。”

He adds that lifting the ban on mass-market marketing of crypto products in the UK would be a "game-changer" for the market.

他补充说，解除英国对加密产品大众市场营销的禁令将成为市场的“游戏规则改变者”。

“The game-changer in the UK will be when the retail ban is lifted,” said Pollak.

波拉克说：“英国的游戏规则将在零售禁令解除时改变。”

“At the moment, only professional investors can access these products, but if the FCA decides to open the market up to retail investors, it will make a huge difference to the size and growth of the market.”

“目前，只有专业投资者才能接触这些产品，但如果 FCA 决定向散户投资者开放市场，这将对市场的规模和增长产生巨大的影响。”

The launch of bitcoin and ether ETNs on the LSE is a significant development for the UK's crypto market, and it could pave the way for the country to become a leading crypto hub in Europe.

在伦敦证券交易所推出比特币和以太币 ETN 是英国加密货币市场的重大发展，它可能为该国成为欧洲领先的加密货币中心铺平道路。

However, broader access to these products is essential for the market to reach its full potential in the UK.

然而，更广泛地获得这些产品对于英国市场充分发挥潜力至关重要。
