BlackRock Expands Authorized Participants for its Spot Bitcoin ETF, Adding Prominent Wall Street Banks

贝莱德扩大其现货比特币 ETF 的授权参与者，增加了著名的华尔街银行

New York, April 8, 2024 - BlackRock, the world's largest asset manager, has added several major U.S. banks as authorized participants for its iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT), a spot Bitcoin exchange-traded fund (ETF) that has been gaining significant traction in the financial markets.

纽约，2024 年 4 月 8 日 - 全球最大的资产管理公司贝莱德 (BlackRock) 已将几家美国主要银行纳入其 iShares 比特币信托 (IBIT) 的授权参与者，该信托是一款现货比特币交易所交易基金 (ETF)，已获得巨大关注在金融市场。

In post-effective amendments filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on Friday, BlackRock named Citadel, Goldman Sachs, UBS, and Citigroup as authorized participants for its Bitcoin ETF, which launched in January 2024. Authorized participants play a crucial role in the ETF ecosystem, being responsible for creating and redeeming ETF shares to keep the ETF's price closely aligned with the underlying asset, in this case, Bitcoin (BTC).

在周五向美国证券交易委员会 (SEC) 提交的生效后修正案中，贝莱德指定 Citadel、高盛、瑞银和花旗集团为其 2024 年 1 月推出的比特币 ETF 的授权参与者。授权参与者发挥着至关重要的作用在 ETF 生态系统中，负责创建和赎回 ETF 份额，以保持 ETF 的价格与基础资产（在本例中为比特币 (BTC)）紧密一致。

The addition of these prominent Wall Street banks to BlackRock's ETF partnership network represents a significant development in the cryptocurrency industry. It demonstrates the growing institutional acceptance and recognition of Bitcoin as a legitimate investment asset.

这些著名的华尔街银行加入贝莱德的 ETF 合作伙伴网络代表着加密货币行业的重大发展。它表明机构越来越接受和认可比特币作为合法的投资资产。

"These new authorized participants provide additional liquidity and support for the iShares Bitcoin Trust, further enhancing its position as a leading investment vehicle for accessing Bitcoin," a BlackRock spokesperson told Decrypt. "We believe this will further support the growth and maturity of the Bitcoin market."

贝莱德发言人告诉 Decrypt：“这些新的授权参与者为 iShares 比特币信托基金提供了额外的流动性和支持，进一步增强了其作为获取比特币的领先投资工具的地位。” “我们相信这将进一步支持比特币市场的增长和成熟。”

The four new banks join an already established group of authorized participants for the BlackRock Bitcoin ETF, including ABN AMRO, JP Morgan, Jane Street, Macquarie Capital, and Virtu. Notably, Goldman Sachs has previously expressed skepticism towards cryptocurrencies, with its executives publicly dismissing them as "not an investment asset class." However, the bank's recent move to become an authorized participant for BlackRock's Bitcoin ETF suggests a shift in its stance, likely driven by growing client demand for exposure to digital assets.

这四家新银行加入了贝莱德比特币 ETF 已经建立的授权参与者群体，其中包括荷兰银行、摩根大通、Jane Street、麦格理资本和 Virtu。值得注意的是，高盛此前曾对加密货币表示怀疑，其高管公开斥责加密货币“不是投资资产类别”。然而，该银行最近成为贝莱德比特币 ETF 的授权参与者，这表明其立场发生了转变，这可能是由于客户对数字资产敞口的需求不断增长。

Analysts believe that the addition of these major banks as authorized participants is a reflection of the increasing popularity and acceptance of Bitcoin ETFs among institutional investors.

分析师认为，这些主要银行加入为授权参与者，反映出比特币ETF在机构投资者中越来越受欢迎和接受。

"The participation of these large financial institutions signals a growing appetite for Bitcoin among traditional investors," said Eric Balchunas, ETF analyst at Bloomberg. "It's a clear indication that Bitcoin is gaining wider acceptance as a legitimate investment asset."

彭博社 ETF 分析师埃里克·巴尔丘纳斯 (Eric Balchunas) 表示：“这些大型金融机构的参与表明传统投资者对比特币的兴趣日益增长。” “这清楚地表明比特币作为合法投资资产正在获得更广泛的接受。”

Since its launch in January 2024, Bitcoin ETFs have attracted substantial inflows, absorbing over $12 billion in net flows. BlackRock's Bitcoin ETF, in particular, has emerged as a dominant player in the space, amassing over $16 billion in assets under management.

自 2024 年 1 月推出以来，比特币 ETF 吸引了大量资金流入，吸收了超过 120 亿美元的净流量。尤其是贝莱德的比特币 ETF，已成为该领域的主导者，管理资产超过 160 亿美元。
