A Chinese fund manager is highlighting its fund’s cryptocurrency exposure in an attempt to attract investors, even as Beijing maintains a hostile stance towards the digital assets.

尽管北京方面对数字资产保持敌对立场，但一家中国基金经理仍强调其基金的加密货币敞口，以吸引投资者。

An advertisement for the fund, which read “Cryptocurrencies soaring, start investing with 10 yuan”, was spotted on Alipay, Chinese fintech giant Ant Group’s mobile wallet app, on Thursday, according to crypto-focused outlet Wu Blockchain.

据专注于加密货币的媒体 Wu Blockchain 报道，周四，中国金融科技巨头蚂蚁集团的移动钱包应用支付宝上出现了该基金的广告，上面写着“加密货币飙升，开始投资 10 元”。

The fund, a Qualified Domestic Institutional Investor (QDII) product operated by Shanghai-based Hwabao WP Fund Management, boasted in the ad that it is heavily invested in Coinbase, a US cryptocurrency exchange that is listed in New York, and the ARK 21Shares Bitcoin ETF offered by US asset manager Ark Invest.

该基金是上海华宝基金管理有限公司运营的合格境内机构投资者（QDII）产品，在广告中夸口称其大量投资于在纽约上市的美国加密货币交易所Coinbase和ARK 21Shares Bitcoin美国资产管理公司Ark Invest提供的ETF。

QDII products, which allow qualified institutional investors to acquire overseas securities, have been one of the few avenues where individual mainland Chinese investors can access offshore equities.

QDII产品允许合格的机构投资者购买海外证券，是中国内地个人投资者获得离岸股票的少数渠道之一。

The top holdings of the QDII fund Hwabao marketed on Alipay also include Ark Invest’s ARK Innovation ETF and ARK Fintech innovation ETF, both of which count Coinbase among their top holdings.

在支付宝上市的 QDII 基金华宝的重仓还包括 Ark Invest 的 ARK Innovation ETF 和 ARK Fintech Innovation ETF，Coinbase 都属于这两家基金的重仓。

“The fund is issued by Hwabao WP Fund and advertised through its account on the Ant Fortune page,” said a spokesperson at Ant Fortune, Ant Group’s wealth management platform.

蚂蚁集团旗下财富管理平台蚂蚁财富发言人表示：“该基金由华宝WP基金发行，并通过蚂蚁财富页面的账户进行宣传。”

The QDII fund is available for sale across multiple platforms, the Ant spokesperson added.

蚂蚁金服发言人补充说，QDII 基金可在多个平台上销售。

Hwabao WP Fund Management did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

华宝基金管理公司没有立即回应置评请求。

Ant is the fintech affiliate of Alibaba Group Holding, which owns the South China Morning Post.

蚂蚁金服是阿里巴巴集团控股公司的金融科技子公司，阿里巴巴集团控股公司拥有《南华早报》。

The fund’s marketing move reflects mainland Chinese investors’ persistent appetite for cryptocurrencies in spite of the government’s crackdown on the sector, especially as bitcoin’s price reaches new heights.

该基金的营销举措反映了中国大陆投资者对加密货币的持续兴趣，尽管政府对该行业进行了打击，特别是在比特币价格达到新高的情况下。

Bitcoin prices surged in the lead up to the US presidential election, after Republican nominee and now president-elect Donald Trump promised to boost the industry. The world’s largest crypto token broke US$100,000 for the first time last week, after Trump selected crypto proponent Paul Atkins to head the US Securities and Exchange Commission.

在共和党候选人、现任当选总统唐纳德·特朗普承诺推动该行业发展后，比特币价格在美国总统大选前夕飙升。在特朗普选择加密货币支持者保罗·阿特金斯担任美国证券交易委员会主席后，全球最大的加密货币代币上周首次突破 10 万美元。

While more experts in China have voiced concerns recently about the country’s long-held conservative stance towards crypto, Beijing has given no indication that it would relax its scrutiny of the sector.

尽管最近有更多中国专家对该国长期以来对加密货币采取的保守立场表示担忧，但北京方面并未表示将放松对该行业的审查。

Local courts over the years have clarified that individual ownership of cryptocurrencies is protected as property, but Beijing still sees the digital asset as a threat to financial stability.

多年来，地方法院已澄清，个人对加密货币的所有权作为财产受到保护，但北京仍然将数字资产视为对金融稳定的威胁。

The country first banned initial coin offerings and ordered crypto exchanges to shut down in 2017. It ramped up its clampdown in 2021, when it banned bitcoin mining and declared crypto-related businesses illegal.

该国于 2017 年首次禁止首次代币发行，并下令关闭加密货币交易所。2021 年加大了打击力度，禁止比特币挖矿，并宣布加密货币相关业务非法。
