A Historical Scale Of Investment
歷史投資規模
These filings arrive just as the deadline for first-quarter 13F reports passes, marking a pivotal moment as this was the first quarter investors could broadly purchase spot Bitcoin ETFs.
這些文件是在第一季度13F報告的最後期限到來之際提交的，這標誌着一個關鍵時刻，因爲這是投資者可以廣泛購買現貨比特幣ETF的第一季度。
Matt Hougan, CIO of Bitwise, commented on the surge of institutional filings, estimating that nearly 700 professional firms would have invested almost $5 billion by the May 15 deadline.
Bitwise首席信息官馬特·霍根對機構申請激增發表了評論，估計到5月15日的最後期限，將近700家專業公司將投資近50億美元。
Hougan described this trend as reaching a "historical scale of professional investor ownership," likening it to the launch of gold ETFs in 2004, which was previously considered the most successful ETF launch.
霍根將這種趨勢描述爲達到了 “專業投資者所有權的歷史規模”，將其比作2004年推出的黃金ETF，該基金以前被認爲是最成功的ETF推出。
Despite this influx of institutional money, Hougan noted that retail investments still constitute the majority of the $50 billion in assets under management (AUM) in spot Bitcoin ETFs.
儘管機構資金大量湧入，但霍根指出，零售投資仍然佔現貨比特幣ETF管理的500億美元資產（AUM）的大部分。
"Retail investors remain the largest contributors, demonstrating the widespread interest and confidence in Bitcoin ETFs," Hougan observed.
霍根觀察到：“散戶投資者仍然是最大的貢獻者，這表明了人們對比特幣ETF的廣泛興趣和信心。”
