机构交易者终于来节省数字货币

上个月，我写了有关机构交易者如何没有来拯救数字货币交易者的文章。 71％的机构交易者无意在很快参与数字货币市场。

People often ask me what institutional traders are doing in digital currency markets. Last month, I wrote about how they are not coming to save traders. 71% of institutional traders have no intention of getting involved in digital currency markets anytime soon.

人们经常问我在数字货币市场中正在做什么机构交易者。上个月，我写了关于他们如何没有来拯救交易者的信息。 71％的机构交易者无意在很快参与数字货币市场。

However, that piece deserves a follow-up, showing that the institutions are coming into blockchain technology and digital assets in a big way. While the big banks’ trading desks have realized most coins are worthless, the biggest financial institutions in the world are waking up to just how powerful blockchain technology, digital currencies, and distributed ledgers are.

但是，该作品值得一提，表明该机构正在大力进入区块链技术和数字资产。尽管大银行的交易台已经意识到大多数硬币都是毫无价值的，但世界上最大的金融机构正在醒来，这是区块链技术，数字货币和分布式分类帐的强大强大。

Let’s explore some of the most noteworthy institutional projects involving blockchain and distributed ledgers over the past few years. Looking at what they’re doing will give us some insight into what they’re thinking and how the future might look.

让我们探索过去几年中涉及区块链和分发分类帐的一些最值得注意的机构项目。看看他们在做什么将使我们了解他们的想法以及未来的外观。

The above is by no means an exhaustive list of all the institutional blockchain projects and pilots, but it covers the biggest and most ambitious of them. Scanning the project descriptions, you’ll notice a few concepts jump out at you multiple times: cross-border transfers, settlements, central bank digital currencies (CBDCs), tokenized assets, and digital money.

以上绝不是所有机构区块链项目和飞行员的详尽清单，但它涵盖了其中最大，最雄心勃勃的列表。扫描项目描述，您会注意到一些概念多次跳出：跨境转移，定居点，中央银行数字货币（CBDC），标记资产和数字货币。

We can learn from this that the world’s biggest institutions aren’t interested in the price of BTC or the latest memecoins; they’re interested in how blockchain, smart contracts, and tokens can rewirable the global financial system to make it more efficient, transparent, and interoperable.

我们可以从中了解到，世界上最大的机构对BTC或最新成员的价格不感兴趣；他们对区块链，智能合约和代币如何重新启动全球金融体系，以使其更有效，透明和可互操作感兴趣。

Those who have entered the industry in the past decade may not be aware that Satoshi Nakamoto released Bitcoin as a peer-to-peer payment system capable of micropayments. A glance over the first page of the whitepaper or Satoshi’s early forum posts makes that abundantly clear.

那些在过去十年中进入该行业的人可能不知道Nakamoto Satoshi Nakamoto将比特币作为点对点支付系统，能够进行微付款。一瞥白皮书或Satoshi的早期论坛帖子的第一页，这一点非常清楚。

While today’s BTC is a far cry from Satoshi’s original invention, the point is that Bitcoin’s inventor intended it for a lot more than speculation and HODLing. He intended it to be used for small, casual payments, including tiny payments and was convinced it didn’t have a scaling ceiling.

虽然今天的BTC与Satoshi的原始发明相去甚远，但关键是比特币的发明家打算不仅仅是投机和hodling。他打算将其用于小型临时付款，包括小额付款，并坚信它没有缩放天花板。

There’s no need to rehash the history of Bitcoin here. It’s enough to note that, after 15 years of confusion, the world is finally realizing how powerful blockchain technology and digital currencies are, and it has nothing to do with the current value of any given token.

这里无需在这里重新统治比特币的历史。需要注意的是，经过15年的困惑，世界最终意识到区块链技术和数字货币的强大程度，并且与任何给定令牌的当前价值无关。

Institutions are now experimenting with several blockchains and ledgers for these projects. Some are working on their own internal blockchains, while others are collaborating with startups. But no matter how they approach it, they’re showing interest in building the future of finance on blockchain.

机构现在正在为这些项目尝试几个区块链和分类帐。有些正在研究自己的内部区块链，而另一些则与初创公司合作。但是，无论他们如何接近它，他们都对建立在区块链上的财务未来表现出兴趣。

Distributed ledgers like BSV enable hyper-efficient, time-stamped, peer-to-peer transactions at scale. Anyone, anywhere, can pay another person elsewhere in the world for amounts ranging from millions of dollars to fractions of a cent. Settlement is instant for all practical purposes, and with smart contracts and the original opcodes, all types of interesting contracts and transactions can be created.

BSV之类的分布式分类帐启用了高效，时间stamp，对等交易的大规模交易。任何人，任何人都可以向世界其他地方的其他人付款，范围从数百万美元到一分钱。出于所有实际目的，解决方案是立即的，并且有了智能合约和原始操作代码，可以创建所有类型的有趣合同和交易。

While the world’s biggest financial institutions have only dipped their toes in the blockchain pond and are still focused on using the ledgers they control, I’m still convinced that, in time, blockchain will take the same course as the internet: the world will move onto the most scalable, efficient public protocol that

尽管世界上最大的金融机构只在区块链池塘中浸入脚趾，并且仍然专注于使用他们控制的分类帐，但我仍然坚信，随着时间的及时，区块链将与互联网相同：世界将进入最可扩展，最有效的公共协议，以至
