Goldman Sachs CEO Says Bank Can Consider Bitcoin, Ethereum Spot Trading If Regulations Allow
Solomon acknowledged the broader sentiment that the regulatory framework vis-à-vis digital assets might evolve in the incoming Goldman Sachs Group Inc. (NYSE:GS) CEO David Solomon said on Tuesday that the investment banking giant might explore becoming a spot market maker for leading cryptocurrencies if more regulatory clarity is provided.
高盛集團（紐交所：GS）首席執行官大衛·所羅門在週二表示，如果能提供更多的監管明確性，這家投資銀行巨頭可能會考慮成爲領先數字貨幣的現貨市場做市商。
What happened: At the Reuters NEXT event, Solomon stated that the firm's ability to participate in spot trading for Bitcoin (CRYPTO: BTC) and Ethereum (CRYPTO: ETH) was "extremely limited" from a regulatory point of view.
發生了什麼：在路透社NEXT活動上，所羅門表示，從監管的角度來看，該公司參與比特幣（數字貨幣：BTC）和以太幣（數字貨幣：ETH）現貨交易的能力"極爲有限"。
"You have to ask regulators because, at the moment, as a regulated banking institution, and I think you know this, we're not allowed to own a cryptocurrency like Bitcoin as a principal," the CEO said.
"你必須詢問監管機構，因爲目前，作爲一家受監管的銀行機構，我想你知道這一點，我們不被允許以主權身份擁有像比特幣這樣的數字貨幣，"首席執行官說道。
Solomon acknowledged the broader sentiment that the regulatory framework vis-à-vis digital assets might evolve in the incoming Donald Trump administration but added that it's still "unclear" as to how it'd evolve.
所羅門承認，監管框架針對數字資產的看法可能在即將到來的特朗普概念政府中演變，但補充說，目前仍不清楚這將如何演變。
However, he said that if the regulatory framework changes, the firm would "evaluate" making markets in Bitcoin and Ethereum.
然而，他表示，如果監管框架發生變化，該公司將"評估"在比特幣和以太幣中做市。
"If, from a regulatory perspective, we were allowed to interact in these assets, we have a pretty big infrastructure."
"如果從監管的角度來看，我們被允許在這些資產中互動，我們的基礎設施相當龐大。"
