GoldenTree Divests Digital Assets Unit to Republic, Marking Strategic Shift

金树将数字资产部门剥离给Republic，标志着战略转变

New York, March 7, 2024 - Global asset management firm GoldenTree has announced the sale of its digital asset subsidiary, GoldenChain, to investment platform Republic. This transaction marks a significant move for GoldenTree as it focuses its operations on its core strengths while Republic expands its digital asset offerings.

纽约，2024 年 3 月 7 日 - 全球资产管理公司 GoldenTree 宣布将其数字资产子公司 GoldenChain 出售给投资平台 Republic。此次交易标志着 GoldenTree 的一项重大举措，因为它将业务重点放在其核心优势上，而 Republic 则扩大了其数字资产产品。

The acquisition of GoldenChain, a wholly-owned subsidiary of GoldenTree, will see Joe Naggar, former partner at GoldenTree, assume the role of CEO and CIO of the newly formed digital asset-focused entity, Republic Digital. Naggar, who previously served as Head of Digital Assets at GoldenChain and former Managing Director at Morgan Stanley, brings over two and a half decades of investment experience to his new position.

在收购 GoldenTree 全资子公司 GoldenChain 后，GoldenTree 前合伙人 Joe Naggar 将担任新成立的数字资产实体 Republic Digital 的首席执行官和首席信息官。 Naggar 曾担任 GoldenChain 数字资产主管和摩根士丹利前董事总经理，他为新职位带来了超过二十年的投资经验。

Republic, a leading investment platform, aims to leverage GoldenChain's expertise to strengthen its position in the digital asset market. The combined entity will explore new opportunities in this rapidly evolving sector.

Republic 是一家领先的投资平台，旨在利用 GoldenChain 的专业知识来巩固其在数字资产市场的地位。合并后的实体将在这个快速发展的行业中探索新的机遇。

"We are excited to welcome GoldenChain to the Republic family," said Republic President Andrew Durgee. "The combined strengths of Republic and GoldenChain will create exceptional opportunities for our investors."

共和国总统安德鲁·德吉 (Andrew Durgee) 表示：“我们很高兴欢迎 GoldenChain 加入共和国大家庭。” “Republic 和 GoldenChain 的综合优势将为我们的投资者创造非凡的机会。”

GoldenTree's decision to divest its digital asset unit stems from strategic considerations. According to sources familiar with the matter, the firm determined that the crypto fund managed by GoldenChain was not a suitable fit for its primary focus on credit and distressed markets, particularly in light of regulatory and reputational concerns associated with the crypto industry.

金树剥离数字资产部门的决定源于战略考虑。据知情人士透露，该公司认为 GoldenChain 管理的加密基金不适合其主要关注信贷和不良市场的业务，特别是考虑到与加密行业相关的监管和声誉问题。

"GoldenTree was a valued partner throughout this process," said Naggar. "However, we mutually agreed that a separation was the optimal path forward."

“GoldenTree 是整个过程中重要的合作伙伴，”Naggar 说道。 “然而，我们一致认为分居是前进的最佳道路。”

At the time of the transaction, GoldenChain managed assets between $120 million and $150 million. Naggar emphasized that the acquisition does not alter the fund's strategy or operations, but rather transfers its ownership to Republic.

交易时，GoldenChain 管理的资产在 1.2 亿至 1.5 亿美元之间。 Naggar强调，此次收购不会改变该基金的战略或运营，而是将其所有权转移给Republic。

The transaction marks GoldenTree's full exit from the crypto industry. As a result, GoldenTree will no longer control any crypto-related entities but will continue to invest in the sector.

此次交易标志着GoldenTree全面退出加密行业。因此，金树将不再控制任何加密相关实体，但将继续投资该领域。

"We believe that GoldenChain's transition to Republic positions the digital asset unit for optimal growth," said Steve Tananbaum, Founder, Managing Partner, and Chief Investment Officer of GoldenTree.

GoldenTree 创始人、执行合伙人兼首席投资官 Steve Tananbaum 表示：“我们相信，GoldenChain 向 Republic 的过渡将使数字资产部门实现最佳增长。”

In the aftermath of the acquisition, GoldenTree will retain an investor stake in Republic Digital, demonstrating its continued commitment to the digital asset ecosystem. Six additional GoldenChain employees are expected to join Republic, while Avi Felman, head of digital asset trading at GoldenTree, has departed GoldenChain but will not join the new entity.

收购完成后，GoldenTree 将保留 Republic Digital 的投资者股份，表明其对数字资产生态系统的持续承诺。另外六名 GoldenChain 员工预计将加入 Republic，而 GoldenTree 数字资产交易主管 Avi Felman 已离开 GoldenChain，但不会加入新实体。

Neither GoldenTree nor Republic has disclosed the financial terms of the transaction, citing confidentiality.

GoldenTree 和 Republic 均以保密为由，未透露交易的财务条款。
