Colonial First State 通过贝莱德比特币 ETF 扩大投资范围

In a move to cater to the growing demand for exposure to the cryptocurrency asset class, Colonial First State (CFS) has announced the inclusion of the BlackRock iShares Bitcoin Trust ETF to its investment platform, CFS Edge. This addition opens up a new avenue for investors to access bitcoin within a traditional brokerage account, without the need for direct purchase, storage, or management of the cryptocurrency.

为了满足对加密货币资产类别不断增长的需求，Colonial First State (CFS) 宣布将 BlackRock iShares 比特币信托 ETF 纳入其投资平台 CFS Edge。这一新增功能为投资者在传统经纪账户中获取比特币开辟了一条新途径，而无需直接购买、存储或管理加密货币。

The BlackRock iShares Bitcoin Trust ETF was approved by the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) in January 2024, becoming one of the first spot bitcoin exchange-traded products (ETPs) to receive regulatory approval in the United States. The ETF tracks the price of bitcoin directly, providing investors with exposure to the cryptocurrency without the complexities associated with its direct ownership.

BlackRock iShares 比特币信托 ETF 于 2024 年 1 月获得美国证券交易委员会 (SEC) 批准，成为首批获得美国监管机构批准的现货比特币交易所交易产品 (ETP) 之一。 ETF 直接追踪比特币的价格，为投资者提供了接​​触加密货币的机会，而无需经历与其直接所有权相关的复杂性。

The inclusion of the BlackRock ETF on CFS Edge is particularly significant as it offers a unique opportunity for advisers to incorporate cryptocurrency exposure into their clients' portfolios. CFS emphasizes that the volatility associated with bitcoin makes it suitable for investors with a financial adviser.

将贝莱德 ETF 纳入 CFS Edge 尤为重要，因为它为顾问提供了将加密货币风险纳入客户投资组合的独特机会。 CFS 强调，比特币的波动性使其适合有财务顾问的投资者。

"Given the volatility associated with this asset type, the BlackRock iShares Bitcoin Trust is only available on CFS Edge for investors who have a financial adviser," CFS stated.

CFS 表示：“鉴于这种资产类型的波动性，贝莱德 iShares 比特币信托仅在 CFS Edge 上为拥有财务顾问的投资者提供。”

Bryce Quirk, CFS group executive distribution, cited client demand and the company's commitment to expanding investment offerings as the driving forces behind this move.

CFS 集团执行发行人布莱斯·奎克 (Bryce Quirk) 表示，客户需求和公司对扩大投资产品的承诺是这一举措背后的推动力。

"Advisers continue to share feedback that their clients have varying investment needs. They have asked us to expand the breadth of asset classes they can access via Edge," he said. "We are pleased to build on our existing relationship with BlackRock by offering their iShares Bitcoin Trust to advised Australians with an appetite for these types of assets."

“顾问们继续分享他们的客户有不同投资需求的反馈。他们要求我们扩大他们可以通过 Edge 访问的资产类别的广度，”他说。 “我们很高兴在与贝莱德的现有关系的基础上，提供他们的 iShares 比特币信托，为对此类资产有兴趣的澳大利亚人提供建议。”

The addition of the bitcoin ETF reflects CFS's commitment to broadening investment options for advisers and their clients. When CFS launched the CFS Edge platform last year, international equities across 15 stock exchanges were touted as a major selling point. The addition of the bitcoin ETF marks a further expansion of the platform's investment menu.

比特币 ETF 的加入反映了 CFS 致力于扩大顾问及其客户的投资选择的承诺。当 CFS 去年推出 CFS Edge 平台时，15 个证券交易所的国际股票被视为主要卖点。比特币ETF的加入标志着该平台投资菜单的进一步扩大。

CFS's move to offer the BlackRock Bitcoin ETF underscores the growing acceptance and institutionalization of cryptocurrency investments. As regulators continue to address the rapidly evolving cryptocurrency landscape, the availability of regulated products like ETFs provides investors with greater access and transparency when seeking exposure to this asset class.

CFS 推出贝莱德比特币 ETF 的举措凸显了加密货币投资的接受度和制度化程度不断提高。随着监管机构继续应对快速发展的加密货币格局，ETF等受监管产品的出现为投资者在寻求投资此类资产时提供了更大的机会和透明度。
