该银行在一份新闻稿中透露了这一进展，并表示从今天开始，其客户可以交易和存储比特币（BTC）和以太坊（ETH）。

Switzerland’s fourth-largest bank, Zürcher Kantonalbank (ZKB), has announced the launch of trading and custody services for Bitcoin and Ethereum.

瑞士第四大银行苏黎世州银行（ZKB）宣布推出比特币和以太坊的交易和托管服务。

According to a press release, customers of the bank will be able to trade and store Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH) starting today. While the financial institution is initially offering support for only BTC and ETH, it hinted at plans to integrate other assets in the future.

根据新闻稿，从今天开始，该银行的客户将能够交易和存储比特币（BTC）和以太坊（ETH）。虽然该金融机构最初只提供对 BTC 和 ETH 的支持，但它暗示计划在未来整合其他资产。

“Bitcoin and Ethereum are available for the time being […] Our newly launched offer in the area of cryptocurrencies offers a high level of security and allows the integration of additional currencies,” the bank said in a statement.

该银行在一份声明中表示：“比特币和以太坊暂时可用……我们在加密货币领域新推出的产品提供了高水平的安全性，并允许整合其他货币。”

The new services have been integrated into the bank's existing channels, including ZKB Mobile Banking and e-Banking platforms, as per the announcement. This will allow customers to access the newly added services directly from familiar platforms.

根据公告，新服务已整合到银行现有渠道，包括 ZKB 手机银行和电子银行平台。这将允许客户直接从熟悉的平台访问新添加的服务。

Importantly, ZKB highlighted that it will provide secure storage of private keys, eliminating the need for customers to set up their wallets.

重要的是，ZKB 强调它将提供私钥的安全存储，从而消除客户设置钱包的需要。

The service is also available to other Swiss-based banks through ZKB's B2B solution, enabling third-party Swiss banks to offer crypto trading and custody services to their clients. Notably, Thurgauer Kantonalbank has already partnered with ZKB to adopt the service.

该服务还可以通过 ZKB 的 B2B 解决方案向其他瑞士银行提供，使第三方瑞士银行能够为其客户提供加密货币交易和托管服务。值得注意的是，Thurgauer Kantonalbank 已经与 ZKB 合作采用该服务。

ZKB Deepens Ties with Cryptos

ZKB 加深与加密货币的联系

ZKB's latest offering further expands its foray into the crypto industry. The bank has been exploring opportunities in the burgeoning market since 2021 when it participated in issuing the first digital bond on the Zurich-based exchange SIX.

ZKB 的最新产品进一步扩大了其对加密行业的涉足。自 2021 年参与在苏黎世交易所 SIX 发行第一支数字债券以来，该银行一直在这个新兴市场中探索机会。

Two years later, Zürcher Kantonalbank co-led the issuance of digital bonds with central bank digital currency (CBDC). This initiative is part of the Swiss National Bank’s (SNB) digital currency pilot project.

两年后，苏黎世州银行与央行数字货币（CBDC）共同主导发行数字债券。该举措是瑞士国家银行（SNB）数字货币试点项目的一部分。
