Cantor Fitzgerald 为计划中的 20 亿美元比特币借贷项目寻求 Tether 支持

两家公司正在讨论扩大现有合作，以纳入这一计划中的项目，坎托·菲茨杰拉德将向以比特币作为抵押品的客户提供美元贷款

Cantor Fitzgerald is reportedly seeking support for its planned $2 billion bitcoin lending project from Tether.

据报道，坎托·菲茨杰拉德 (Cantor Fitzgerald) 正在为其计划中的 20 亿美元比特币借贷项目寻求 Tether 的支持。

The firms are discussing expanding their existing collaboration to include this planned program in which Cantor Fitzgerald would lend dollars to clients who put up bitcoin for collateral, Bloomberg reported Sunday (Nov. 24).

据彭博社周日（11 月 24 日）报道，两家公司正在讨论扩大现有合作范围，将这一计划中的项目纳入其中，坎托·菲茨杰拉德 (Cantor Fitzgerald) 将向以比特币作为抵押品的客户提供美元贷款。

Neither Cantor Fitzgerald nor Tether immediately replied to PYMNTS’ request for comment.

Cantor Fitzgerald 和 Tether 都没有立即回复 PYMNTS 的置评请求。

The two companies already have a custodial relationship in which Cantor Fitzgerald’s custody business holds the U.S. Treasurys that support the value of Tether’s USDT stablecoin, according to the report.

报道称，两家公司已经建立了托管关系，其中 Cantor Fitzgerald 的托管业务持有支持 Tether USDT 稳定币价值的美国国债。

The Bloomberg report comes at a time when Cantor Fitzgerald Chairman and CEO Howard Lutnick is co-chair of President-elect Donald Trump’s transition team and has been named as Trump’s pick to head the Commerce Department, the report said.

报道称，彭博社的报道发布之际，坎托·菲茨杰拉德 (Cantor Fitzgerald) 董事长兼首席执行官霍华德·卢特尼克 (Howard Lutnick) 是当选总统唐纳德·特朗普 (Donald Trump) 过渡团队的联合主席，并被特朗普任命为商务部负责人。

Cantor Fitzgerald will start its bitcoin lending project with $2 billion in funding and expects to expand that to tens of billions of dollars, per the report.

据报道，坎托·菲茨杰拉德 (Cantor Fitzgerald) 将以 20 亿美元的资金启动其比特币借贷项目，并预计将规模扩大到数百亿美元。

Tether would likely be one of many financial contributors to the project, which has not yet formally started lending, according to the report.

据报道，Tether 可能是该项目的众多财务捐助者之一，该项目尚未正式开始贷款。

Cantor Fitzgerald announced its plans for a bitcoin financing business in July, saying in a press release that it aims to provide leverage to investors who hold bitcoin and that it will partner with select bitcoin custodians to launch the program.

Cantor Fitzgerald 在 7 月宣布了比特币融资业务的计划，在一份新闻稿中表示，该公司旨在为持有比特币的投资者提供杠杆作用，并将与选定的比特币托管人合作推出该计划。

“Cantor Fitzgerald arranges and finances vast amounts of securities and commodities and, as strong supporters of bitcoin, will now build an incredible platform to support bitcoin investors’ financing needs,” Lutnick said in the release. “We are excited to help unlock bitcoin’s full potential and continue bridging the gap between traditional finance and digital assets.”

“坎托·菲茨杰拉德安排并资助了大量的证券和商品，作为比特币的坚定支持者，现在将建立一个令人难以置信的平台来支持比特币投资者的融资需求，”卢特尼克在新闻稿中表示。 “我们很高兴能够帮助释放比特币的全部潜力，并继续缩小传统金融和数字资产之间的差距。”

Bitcoin has reached record highs since the Nov. 5 U.S. presidential election, with traders expecting the crypto sector to benefit from Trump’s support of cryptocurrencies.

自 11 月 5 日美国总统大选以来，比特币已创下历史新高，交易员预计加密货币行业将从特朗普对加密货币的支持中受益。

That rise was bolstered last week by media reports that Trump’s social media company is considering buying crypto trading firm Bakkt and that Trump was meeting privately with Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong to discuss the incoming administration’s personnel appointments.

上周有媒体报道称，特朗普的社交媒体公司正在考虑收购加密货币交易公司 Bakkt，并且特朗普正在与 Coinbase 首席执行官布莱恩·阿姆斯特朗 (Brian Armstrong) 私下会面，讨论即将上任的政府的人事任命，这进一步推动了这一上涨。

Tether’s USDT is the largest stablecoin by market cap, PYMNTS reported in October.

PYMNTS 10 月份报道称，Tether 的 USDT 是市值最大的稳定币。
