据称 Cantor Fitzgerald 的 Lutnick 正在与 Tether 进行深化合作谈判

卢特尼克正在就加深其企业与全球最大稳定币背后的公司之间的财务联系进行谈判

Cantor Fitzgerald LP is discussing receiving support from Tether for its planned multibillion-dollar program to lend dollars to clients who put up Bitcoin as collateral, said the people, who asked not to be named as they were not authorized to speak publicly. Cantor is also in talks to deepen the financial ties between its businesses and the company behind the world’s largest stablecoin, according to people familiar with the matter.

知情人士表示，Cantor Fitzgerald LP 正在讨论获得 Tether 计划中的数十亿美元计划的支持，该计划旨在向以比特币作为抵押品的客户提供美元贷款。由于无权公开发言，因此不愿透露姓名。据知情人士透露，坎托还在就深化其业务与全球最大稳定币背后的公司之间的财务联系进行谈判。

Funding for the program will start at $2 billion and is expected to eventually reach into the tens of billions, a separate person told Bloomberg. Tether currently uses Cantor’s custody business to hold the billions of dollars of US Treasuries that support the value of its dominant USDT stablecoin. That custody relationship earns Cantor tens of millions of dollars a year, according to people familiar with the matter.

另一位知情人士告诉彭博社，该项目的资金起价为 20 亿美元，预计最终将达到数百亿美元。 Tether 目前利用 Cantor 的托管业务持有数十亿美元的美国国债，这些美国国债支撑着其主导的 USDT 稳定币的价值。据知情人士透露，这种监护关系每年为坎托带来数千万美元的收入。

Lutnick is co-chair of president-elect Donald Trump’s transition team and Trump’s pick to run the Commerce Department. Trump has been a recent and vocal proponent of digital assets like Bitcoin, and has promoted a crypto project associated with his sons called World Liberty Financial.

卢特尼克是当选总统唐纳德·特朗普过渡团队的联合主席，也是特朗普挑选的商务部主管。特朗普最近一直是比特币等数字资产的直言不讳的支持者，并推动了与他的儿子相关的名为“世界自由金融”的加密项目。

The Trump transition team is mulling whether to create a new White House post for crypto policy, Bloomberg reported previously. While Cantor has been trying to hire staff to launch the program, it hasn’t formally started lending.

据彭博社此前报道，特朗普过渡团队正在考虑是否在白宫设立一个新的加密货币政策职位。虽然坎托一直在尝试雇用员工来启动该计划，但尚未正式开始贷款。

If Tether takes part, the crypto firm would likely be one of multiple financial contributors, one of the people said. A spokeswoman for Cantor declined to comment. Executives at Tether could not be immediately reached for comment outside of normal business hours.

一位知情人士表示，如果 Tether 参与，这家加密货币公司可能会成为多个财务捐助者之一。坎托的发言人拒绝发表评论。在正常工作时间之外，无法立即联系到 Tether 高管置评。

Tether has faced scrutiny from governments including the US for possible violations of sanctions and anti-money laundering rules. The company has denied the claims.

Tether 因可能违反制裁和反洗钱规则而面临包括美国在内的各国政府的审查。该公司否认了这些说法。

Lutnick’s firm has also struck a deal to invest in Tether, the Wall Street Journal reported on Saturday, adding that Cantor’s stake has been valued at as much as $600 million and amounts to about a 5% ownership interest.

据《华尔街日报》周六报道，Lutnick 的公司还达成了投资 Tether 的协议，并补充说 Cantor 的股份价值高达 6 亿美元，相当于约 5% 的所有权权益。

As Lutnick moves to run the Commerce Department, he is preparing to hand over his firm’s relationship with Tether, which he largely controls, to colleagues, according to two people briefed on the matter. His son, Brandon Lutnick, works at Cantor as a trader and previously interned with Tether in Lugano, Switzerland.

据两位知情人士透露，随着卢特尼克出任商务部主管，他正准备将其公司与 Tether 的关系移交给同事，而 Tether 是他在很大程度上控制的。他的儿子 Brandon Lutnick 在 Cantor 担任交易员，此前曾在瑞士卢加诺的 Tether 实习。
