Standard Chartered To Launch Bitcoin, Ethereum Trading Desk As ETF Outflows Continue
Standard Chartered Plc is reportedly establishing a trading desk for Bitcoin (CRYPTO: BTC) and Ethereum (CRYPTO: ETH), according to sources familiar with the matter.
據知情人士透露，渣打銀行(Standard Chartered Plc)正在建立比特幣(BTC)和以太坊(ETH)交易臺。
What Happened: This move positions Standard Chartered as one of the first global banks to enter the spot cryptocurrency trading arena.
渣打銀行已經成爲最早進入現貨加密貨幣交易領域的全球銀行之一。
The new crypto desk, which will operate from London as part of the bank's FX trading unit, is close to commencing operations, according to Bloomberg.
據彭博社報道，這個新的加密貨幣交易臺將作爲該銀行外匯交易部門的一部分，從倫敦運營，並且已經接近啓動。
Banks such as Goldman Sachs Group Inc. (NYSE:GS) have been involved in trading cryptocurrency derivatives for years.
高盛集團(Goldman Sachs Group Inc., NYSE:GS)等銀行一直參與加密貨幣衍生品交易多年。
However, stringent regulations have prevented them from directly dealing in the underlying assets.
然而，嚴格的監管規定已經防止它們直接交易底層資產。
The Basel Committee on Banking Supervision has proposed that banks must apply a 1.250% risk weighting to any unhedged crypto exposure, creating significant challenges for profit generation in direct cryptocurrency trading.
銀行監管委員會提出，銀行必須對任何非對沖加密貨幣敞口應用1.250%的風險權重，這對於直接加密貨幣交易的盈利產生了重大挑戰。
In an emailed statement, Standard Chartered commented on its strategic move: "We have been working closely with our regulators to support demand from our institutional clients to trade Bitcoin and Ethereum, in line with our strategy to support clients across the wider digital asset ecosystem, from access and custody to tokenization and interoperability."
渣打銀行在一份電子郵件聲明中評論了其戰略舉措：“我們一直在與監管機構密切合作，以支持機構客戶對比特幣和以太坊的交易需求，這一舉措符合我們的戰略，即支持更廣泛的數字資產生態系統，從訪問和託管到令牌化和互操作性。”

Why It Matters: The news comes as the cryptocurrency market witnessed substantial outflows from Bitcoin spot ETFs on June 20, marking the fifth consecutive day of outflows.
加密貨幣市場在6月20日出現了大量從比特幣現貨ETF流出的現象，這標誌着連續第五天出現流出現象。
The total net outflow reached $140 million, with Grayscale's (OTC:GBTC) ETF experiencing a single-day outflow of $53.1022 million.
總的淨流出達到了1.4億美元，灰度概念(OTC:GBTC)的ETF單日流出達到了5310.22萬美元。
In contrast, BlackRock's (NASDAQ:IBIT) ETF saw a modest single-day inflow of $1.4791 million, bringing its total historical net inflow to an impressive $17.643 billion.
相比之下，貝萊德(BlackRock, NASDAQ:IBIT)的ETF單日流入僅爲147.91萬美元，其歷史淨流入總額達到了驚人的176.43億美元。
This trend of outflows from Bitcoin spot ETFs underscores the volatility and shifting investor sentiment within the cryptocurrency market.
這些從比特幣現貨ETF流出的趨勢凸顯了加密貨幣市場內的波動性和投資者情緒的變化。
However, despite these outflows, there is a notable increase in institutional interest and infrastructure development aimed at supporting digital assets.
然而，儘管出現了這些流出現象，但還是有機構方面的興趣和基礎設施發展方面的顯著增加，旨在支持數字資產。
What's Next: This growing institutional interest and infrastructure development come ahead of Benzinga's Future of Digital Assets event on Nov. 19.
下一步：在本月19日，笨豬網將舉辦數字資產未來活動，這個成長中的機構興趣和基礎設施發展的活動將提供有價值的見解。
The event is poised to offer valuable insights into the evolving landscape of digital finance and the increasing role of institutional players in the cryptocurrency market.
本次活動旨在提供有關數字金融的不斷髮展和機構參與加密貨幣市場的不斷增加的有價值的見解。
