Crypto Bank Anchorage Digital Challenges Coinbase's ETF Custody Dominance
Anchorage Digital Bank has secured a role as custodian for the ARK 21Shares Bitcoin ETF (BATS:ARKB), challenging Coinbase's (NASDAQ:COIN) dominance in the cryptocurrency ETF custody market.
安克雷奇數字銀行已獲得Ark 21Shares比特幣ETF（BATS: ARKB）託管人的職位，挑戰了Coinbase（納斯達克股票代碼：COIN）在加密貨幣ETF託管市場的主導地位。
What Happened: The development marks a notable shift in an industry where Coinbase has been the primary custodian for most U.S. Bitcoin ETFs since their approval in January 2024.
發生了什麼：這一發展標誌着自2024年1月批准以來，Coinbase一直是大多數美國比特幣ETF的主要託管人的行業發生了顯著的轉變。
21Shares US LLC, a major issuer of crypto exchange-traded products (ETPs), revealed that it has appointed Anchorage Digital Bank N.A. and BitGo as additional custodians for its US spot ETPs.
加密貨幣交易所交易產品（ETP）的主要發行人21Shares US LLC透露，它已任命安克雷奇數字銀行N.A. 和BitGo爲其美國現貨ETP的額外託管人。
This decision expands 21Shares' custody partnerships beyond Coinbase, potentially reshaping the competitive landscape in crypto asset custody for regulated investment products.
這一決定將21Shares的託管合作伙伴關係擴展到Coinbase以外，有可能重塑受監管投資產品的加密資產託管的競爭格局。
Coinbase has enjoyed a commanding position in ETF custody since the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission approved spot Bitcoin ETFs earlier this year.
自美國證券交易委員會今年早些時候批准現貨比特幣ETF以來，Coinbase在ETF託管方面一直處於領先地位。
The company's regulatory compliance and established infrastructure made it the preferred choice for many ETF issuers.
該公司的監管合規性和完善的基礎設施使其成爲許多ETF發行人的首選。
However, 21Shares' move signals a growing appetite for custody diversification in the market.
但是，21Shares的舉動表明市場對託管多元化的需求日益增強。

Andres Valencia, Head of Investment Management at 21Shares said, "We consider our custody partners to be crucial to the risk management and operational excellence of our product lineup, and diversification adds to the safety and security of our offering."
21Shares投資管理主管安德烈斯·瓦倫西亞表示：「我們認爲我們的託管合作伙伴對於我們產品陣容的風險管理和卓越運營至關重要，多元化增加了我們產品的安全性。」
Anchorage Digital Bank, a federally chartered crypto bank, views this partnership as an opportunity to expand its footprint in the ETF market.
聯邦特許加密銀行安克雷奇數字銀行將這種夥伴關係視爲擴大其在ETF市場足跡的機會。
Nathan McCauley, Co-Founder and CEO of Anchorage Digital Bank, highlighted the company's federal charter as a key differentiator, providing the regulatory certainty and security profile necessary for ETP custody.
安克雷奇數字銀行聯合創始人兼首席執行官內森·麥考利強調該公司的聯邦章程是關鍵的差異化因素，爲ETP託管提供了必要的監管確定性和安全性。
This development aligns with a growing trend in the crypto industry towards multi-custodial approaches, aimed at enhancing security and reducing concentration risk.
這一發展符合加密行業向多託管方法的增長趨勢，旨在增強安全性並降低集中風險。
BitGo, known for its cold storage solutions, will also serve as a custodian alongside Anchorage Digital and Coinbase.
以冷庫解決方案聞名的BitGo還將與安克雷奇數字和Coinbase一起擔任託管人。
The new custody arrangement applies to both the ARK 21Shares Bitcoin ETF (ARKB) and the recently launched 21Shares Core Ethereum ETF (CETH).
新的託管安排適用於方舟21Shares比特幣ETF（ARKB）和最近推出的21Shares核心以太幣ETF（CETH）。
This move could potentially influence other ETF issuers to consider diversifying their custody arrangements, further disrupting Coinbase's market dominance.
此舉可能會影響其他ETF發行人考慮分散其託管安排，從而進一步破壞Coinbase的市場主導地位。
