Customers Bank Ends Services For Some Crypto Hedge Funds
Customers Bank Ends Services For Some Crypto Hedge Funds
Customers Bank, known for its crypto-friendly services, has ceased providing banking services to certain hedge-fund clients.
以提供加密貨幣友好的服務而聞名的Customers Bancorp已停止向特定對沖基金客戶提供銀行業務。
What Happened: While the bank revealed halting services, the extent of the off-boarding remains unclear. CoinDesk reported on Friday, citing three people familiar with the matter, that "a load of funds" were affected. The move targeted inactive accounts rather than a broad industry-wide action and several funds are now seeking new banking providers.
事情的經過：雖然該銀行公佈了停止服務的消息，但下架的程度仍不清楚。CoinDesk週五援引三位知情人士的話說，"許多基金"受到了影響。此舉針對的是不活躍的帳户，而不是廣泛的行業性行動，多個基金現在正在尋找新的銀行服務提供商。
The West Reading, Pennsylvania-based company, owned by Customers Bancorp (NYSE:CUBI), offers a real-time blockchain-based payments platform, Customer Bank Instant Token (CBIT), facilitating 24/7 U.S. dollar payments for its crypto clients. The bank has a 15% cap on deposits in the CBIT vertical to limit its crypto exposure.
總部位於賓夕法尼亞州西雷丁的該公司是Customers Bancorp的子公司（NYSE: CUBI），提供基於區塊鏈的實時支付平台Customer Bank Instant Token（CBIT），爲其加密客戶實現24/7美元支付。該銀行對在CBIT垂直領域的存款設有15%的上限，以限制其對加密貨幣的敞口。

Why It Matters: This situation underscores the ongoing challenges crypto companies face in accessing the U.S. dollar banking system, especially after the collapse of Silvergate Bank and Signature Bank last year.
爲何重要：這種情況凸顯了加密貨幣公司在獲取美元銀行系統方面所面臨的持續挑戰，特別是在去年Silvergate Bank和Signature Bank倒閉之後。
In March 2023, Silvergate Bank announced its voluntary liquidation, citing regulatory challenges and a decline in deposits. This was followed by the failure of Signature Bank in the same month, which was taken over by the FDIC.
2023年3月，Silvergate Bank宣佈自願清算，理由是監管挑戰和存款下降。隨後在同月Signature Bank破產，被FDIC接管。
With the exit of these banks, crypto firms have been scrambling to find new banking partners. The recent move by Customers Bank to limit its exposure to the crypto sector further narrows the options available to these companies.
隨着這些銀行的退出，加密貨幣公司一直在竭力尋找新的銀行合作伙伴。Customers Bancorp最近的舉動進一步縮小了這些公司可以選擇的選項，以限制其對加密貨幣領域的敞口。
