高盛（Goldman Sachs）在其年度股东信中承认加密货币的影响不断增长

高盛（Goldman Sachs）是世界第二大投资银行（Goldman Sachs），他承认加密货币在其年度股东信中的影响不断增长。

Goldman Sachs, the world’s second-largest investment bank, has acknowledged the growing influence of cryptocurrencies in its annual shareholder letter for the first time, marking a significant shift in Wall Street’s attitude toward digital assets.

世界第二大投资银行高盛（Goldman Sachs）首次承认加密货币在其年度股东信中的影响不断增长，这标志着华尔街对数字资产的态度的重大转变。

The integration of cryptocurrencies into financial markets has been slow, especially for major banks, many of which are still adapting to the market. But in the 2024 letter, Goldman Sachs recognized how new technologies, including crypto and AI, are increasing competition and changing the industry.

将加密货币整合到金融市场上的速度很慢，尤其是对于主要银行而言，其中许多银行仍在适应市场。但是在2024年的信中，高盛（Goldman Sachs）认识到包括加密和AI在内的新技术如何增加竞争并改变行业。

The company said that some clients may prefer financial products offered by Goldman’s competitors, especially in the realm of cryptocurrencies, which Goldman “cannot or may choose not to provide.”

该公司表示，有些客户可能更喜欢高盛竞争对手提供的金融产品，尤其是在加密货币领域，高盛“不能或可能不选择提供”。

“We also compete on the basis of the types of financial products and client experiences that we and our competitors offer. In some circumstances, our competitors may offer financial products that we do not offer and that our clients may prefer, including cryptocurrencies and other digital assets that we cannot or may choose not to provide,” the company said.

“我们还基于我们和我们的竞争对手提供的金融产品和客户体验的类型竞争。在某些情况下，我们的竞争对手可能会提供我们不提供的金融产品，并且我们的客户可能更喜欢，包括加密货币和其他我们不能或可能不提供的数字资产。”该公司表示。

“The growth of electronic trading and the introduction of new products and technologies, including trading and distributed ledger technologies, such as cryptocurrencies, and AI technologies, has increased competition.”

“电子交易的增长以及新产品和技术的引入，包括加密货币等贸易和分布式分类帐技术，以及AI技术，增加了竞争。”

The decision to mention cryptocurrencies in its shareholder letter is a departure from Goldman’s previous stance. Until 2017, terms like “cryptocurrency” and “blockchain” never appeared in the firm’s annual letters to shareholders.

在其股东信中提及加密货币的决定是与高盛先前的立场背道而驰。直到2017年，诸如“加密货币”和“区块链”之类的术语从未出现在公司给股东的年度信件中。

The sustained success of Bitcoin and the broader acceptance of crypto by various sectors, including the Trump administration, seem to have finally forced a shift in perspective.

比特币的持续成功以及包括特朗普政府在内的各个部门对加密货币的更广泛接受似乎最终迫使观点发生了变化。

Earlier this year, Goldman Sachs applied for an institutional-grade cryptocurrency exchange with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), further indicating its interest in the space.

今年早些时候，高盛（Goldman Sachs）向美国证券交易委员会（SEC）申请了机构级的加密货币交易所，进一步表明了其在该领域的权益。

The bank has already taken steps to enter the crypto domain. In 2021, it launched a crypto desk and in 2022 it began testing a digital asset platform. It has also been experimenting with blockchain-based systems such as the Canton Network.

该银行已经采取了步骤进入加密货币域。 2021年，它推出了加密货币桌，并于2022年开始测试一个数字资产平台。它也一直在尝试基于区块链的系统（例如广州网络）。

According to experts, Goldman’s acknowledgment of crypto in its shareholder letter is a sign of broader industry trends. The bank, along with other financial institutions, is preparing for the future of tokenized financial products and blockchain integration.

据专家说，高盛在其股东信中承认加密货币是行业趋势更广泛的标志。该银行与其他金融机构一起为令牌化金融产品和区块链整合的未来做准备。
