金融服务巨头 Guggenheim Partners 通过在以太坊区块链上对 2000 万美元的商业票据进行代币化，迈出了区块链技术的一步。

“As clearly demonstrated by the ETFs approval and the growth of the tokenization space, there is a massive demand for these digital assets, and we want to enable our partners so they can be at the forefront of what could be a transformative moment in the financial industry,” Cosenza added.

“ETF 的批准和代币化空间的增长清楚地表明，对这些数字资产有巨大的需求，我们希望为我们的合作伙伴提供支持，以便他们能够站在金融领域变革时刻的最前沿。工业，”科森扎补充道。

该商业票据由 Guggenheim Partners 的全资子公司 Guggenheim Treasury Services 发行，截至 3 月 31 日，该公司管理的资产超过 3000 亿美元。

While this marks a new venture into the crypto domain for Guggenheim, the firm has previously participated in the broader digital asset ecosystem.

虽然这标志着古根海姆进入加密领域的新尝试，但该公司此前曾参与过更广泛的数字资产生态系统。
