贝莱德大幅扩大了其现货比特币 ETF iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT) 的授权参与者 (AP) 名单。高盛、Citadel、花旗集团、瑞银证券和荷兰银行清算公司加入了现有的 AP 摩根大通、Jane Street Capital、Virtu Americas 和麦格理。这些华尔街巨头的加入表明比特币主流采用率的增加以及对现货比特币 ETF 的需求不断增长。

BlackRock Expands Authorized Participants for iShares Bitcoin Trust ETF, Signaling Institutional Embrace of Spot Bitcoin

贝莱德扩大 iShares 比特币信托 ETF 的授权参与者，标志着机构对现货比特币的拥抱

BlackRock, the world's largest asset manager, has updated the list of Authorized Participants (APs) for its iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT) ETF, adding five new Wall Street giants: Goldman Sachs, Citadel, Citigroup, UBS Securities, and ABN AMRO Clearing. This expansion brings the total number of APs to nine, a significant increase from the initial four when IBIT was launched.

全球最大的资产管理公司贝莱德更新了其 iShares 比特币信托 (IBIT) ETF 的授权参与者 (AP) 名单，新增五家华尔街巨头：高盛、Citadel、花旗集团、瑞银证券和荷兰银行清算公司。此次扩展使 AP 总数达到 9 个，比 IBIT 启动时最初的 4 个显着增加。

The move comes amid growing traction for spot Bitcoin ETFs, which provide investors with exposure to the underlying asset, Bitcoin, rather than futures contracts. The approval of several spot Bitcoin ETFs by the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) in January has been a major catalyst for increased interest in the asset class.

此举是在现货比特币 ETF 越来越受欢迎的背景下进行的，该 ETF 为投资者提供了标的资产比特币而不是期货合约的敞口。美国证券交易委员会 (SEC) 一月份批准了几只现货比特币 ETF，这是人们对该资产类别兴趣增加的主要催化剂。

According to Bloomberg ETF analyst Eric Balchunas, the addition of Goldman Sachs, Citigroup, and other APs indicates that "big time firms now want piece of action." He notes that these companies were not previously named in any Bitcoin ETF filings, suggesting that they are now more comfortable being publicly associated with the nascent digital asset.

彭博 ETF 分析师埃里克·巴尔丘纳斯 (Eric Balchunas) 表示，高盛、花旗集团和其他美联社的加入表明“大型公司现在希望采取行动”。他指出，这些公司此前并未出现在任何比特币 ETF 文件中，这表明它们现在更愿意公开与这种新兴数字资产相关。

The expansion of APs for IBIT is a reflection of the growing institutional interest in Bitcoin and the increasing acceptance of cryptocurrency as a legitimate investment asset. Balchunas attributes the recent surge in Bitcoin's price to the approval of spot Bitcoin ETFs, which have attracted substantial inflows from investors seeking exposure to the world's largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization.

IBIT AP 的扩展反映了机构对比特币的兴趣不断增长，以及加密货币作为合法投资资产的接受程度不断提高。 Balchunas 将近期比特币价格的飙升归因于现货比特币 ETF 的批准，这些ETF吸引了寻求投资全球市值最大的加密货币的投资者的大量资金流入。

The addition of these Wall Street giants as APs is a further testament to the growing institutional adoption of cryptocurrencies. In March, Bitcoin ETFs traded a staggering $111 billion, nearly three times the combined trades recorded in February and January. This surge in demand has prompted BlackRock and other firms to file proposals for spot Ethereum ETFs, indicating a broader shift towards digital assets within the traditional investment landscape.

这些华尔街巨头作为 AP 的加入进一步证明了机构越来越多地采用加密货币。 3 月份，比特币 ETF 交易额达到惊人的 1110 亿美元，几乎是 2 月份和 1 月份交易总额的三倍。需求的激增促使贝莱德和其他公司提交了以太坊 ETF 现货提案，这表明传统投资领域正在更广泛地转向数字资产。

The regulatory approval of spot Bitcoin ETFs and the increasing involvement of institutional players mark a significant milestone in the mainstream adoption of cryptocurrency. As the market continues to mature, spot Bitcoin ETFs are expected to play an increasingly important role in providing investors with access to this new asset class and shaping the future of the digital asset ecosystem.

监管部门对比特币 ETF 现货的批准以及机构参与者的日益参与标志着加密货币主流采用的一个重要里程碑。随着市场不断成熟，现货比特币 ETF 预计将在为投资者提供这一新资产类别和塑造数字资产生态系统的未来方面发挥越来越重要的作用。
