贝莱德首席执行官看好以太坊 ETF 前景，摆脱监管阴霾

尽管以太坊可能被归类为证券，但贝莱德首席执行官拉里·芬克（Larry Fink）预计以太坊现货交易所交易基金（ETF）将获得批准。这种乐观情绪源于贝莱德 iShares 比特币信托的成功，该信托已吸引了超过 150 亿美元的资产。然而，彭博社分析师 James Seyffart 预测，由于 SEC 5 月份的裁决，目前的以太坊 ETF 申请将被拒绝。尽管如此，由于比特币 ETF 开创的先例以及对主要机构的财务激励，包括 Arthur Hayes 和 Craig Salm 在内的以太坊 ETF 的倡导者仍然抱有希望。

BlackRock CEO Remains Optimistic about Ethereum ETF Prospects, Despite Regulatory Uncertainty

尽管监管存在不确定性，贝莱德首席执行官仍对以太坊 ETF 前景保持乐观

In a recent interview on Fox Business, Larry Fink, the CEO of asset management behemoth BlackRock, expressed confidence in the possibility of an Ethereum spot exchange-traded fund (ETF) gaining regulatory approval in the United States. This stance comes despite the prevailing sentiment among industry observers that the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) will reject the current crop of applications from eight issuers seeking to launch such a product.

资产管理巨头贝莱德首席执行官拉里·芬克最近在接受福克斯商业频道采访时表示，他对以太坊现货交易所交易基金（ETF）在美国获得监管部门批准的可能性充满信心。尽管行业观察家普遍认为美国证券交易委员会 (SEC) 将拒绝目前八家发行人寻求推出此类产品的申请，但这一立场还是出现了。

Fink's optimism likely stems from the remarkable success of BlackRock's spot Bitcoin ETF, the iShares Bitcoin Trust. Launched in October 2021, the fund has garnered over $15 billion in assets under management in just two and a half months on the market, making it "the fastest growing ETF in the history of ETFs," according to Fink.

芬克的乐观情绪可能源于贝莱德现货比特币 ETF iShares 比特币信托基金的巨大成功。 Fink 表示，该基金于 2021 年 10 月推出，在上市短短两个半月内就管理了超过 150 亿美元的资产，使其成为“ETF 历史上增长最快的 ETF”。

The liquidity and transparency injected into the market by the Bitcoin ETF appear to have convinced Fink of the transformative potential of similar products tracking other digital assets, including Ethereum. If the firm's wildly popular Bitcoin offering is any indication, there could be a substantial appetite among investors for convenient, regulated exposure to Ethereum through an exchange-traded fund.

比特币 ETF 为市场注入的流动性和透明度似乎让芬克相信，追踪包括以太坊在内的其他数字资产的类似产品具有变革潜力。如果该公司广受欢迎的比特币产品有任何迹象的话，那么投资者可能对通过交易所交易基金方便、受监管地投资以太坊有很大兴趣。

However, not all market analysts share Fink's positive outlook. Bloomberg analyst James Seyffart has predicted that the SEC will ultimately reject the current Ethereum ETF applications when its ruling comes down in May. While acknowledging the need for further review of Fidelity's recent filing for a staking Ethereum ETF, Seyffart's overall assessment suggests that the proposals face an uphill battle.

然而，并非所有市场分析师都认同芬克的积极前景。彭博社分析师詹姆斯·塞法特 (James Seyffart) 预测，美国证券交易委员会 (SEC) 在 5 月份做出裁决后，最终将拒绝当前的以太坊 ETF 申请。尽管承认需要进一步审查富达最近提交的以太坊 ETF 质押申请，但 Seyffart 的总体评估表明，这些提案面临着一场艰苦的战斗。

Despite these contrasting perspectives, advocates for Ethereum ETFs maintain their support. Arthur Hayes, former CEO of BitMEX, has argued that the success of Bitcoin ETFs effectively paves the way for similar products tied to other digital assets. He contends that major financial institutions have a vested interest in seeing Ethereum ETFs approved, given the lucrative fees they could generate.

尽管存在这些截然不同的观点，但以太坊 ETF 的倡导者仍保持支持。 BitMEX 前首席执行官 Arthur Hayes 认为，比特币 ETF 的成功实际上为与其他数字资产相关的类似产品铺平了道路。他认为，考虑到以太坊 ETF 可能产生的丰厚费用，主要金融机构对以太坊 ETF 获得批准有着既得利益。

Grayscale's Chief Legal Officer, Craig Salm, has also expressed optimism, stating that the SEC's perceived lack of engagement with issuers on technical details should not be interpreted as an indicator of the final outcome. He reasons that many of these operational complexities have already been resolved through the approval process for Bitcoin ETFs.

Grayscale 的首席法务官 Craig Salm 也表达了乐观态度，他表示 SEC 认为在技术细节上缺乏与发行人的接触不应被解释为最终结果的指标。他认为，许多操作复杂性已经通过比特币 ETF 的审批流程得到解决。

As the SEC's May deadline for ruling on the Ethereum ETF applications nears, the crypto community awaits the outcome with bated breath. The ramifications of the regulator's decision could profoundly impact the acceptance and accessibility of Ethereum for investors through regulated investment vehicles.

随着 SEC 对以太坊 ETF 申请做出裁决的 5 月份最后期限临近，加密货币社区屏息以待结果。监管机构决定的影响可能会深刻影响投资者通过受监管的投资工具接受和使用以太坊。
