ETC 集團被 Bitwise 資產管理公司收購

ETC Group 是歐洲最大的實體比特幣交易所交易產品 (ETP) 的發行人，管理資產超過 10 億美元，已被 Bitwise Asset Management 收購

Crypto index fund management giant Bitwise Asset Management has acquired ETC Group, the issuer of the largest physical Bitcoin exchange traded product (ETP) in Europe, according to a blog post on Monday.

根據週一的一篇部落格文章，加密貨幣指數基金管理巨頭 Bitwise Asset Management 已收購 ETC Group，該集團是歐洲最大的實體比特幣交易所交易產品（ETP）的發行人。

Founded in 2019, ETC Group offers a range of ETPs, including the most actively traded physical Bitcoin ETP (BTCE). Their portfolio also features ETPs for Ethereum with staking (ET32), Solana (ESOL), XRP (GXRP), and the MSCI Digital Assets Select 20 (DA20).

ETC Group 成立於 2019 年，提供一系列 ETP，包括交易最活躍的實體比特幣 ETP (BTCE)。他們的投資組合還包括具有質押功能的以太坊 ETP (ET32)、Solana (ESOL)、XRP (GXRP) 和 MSCI Digital Assets Select 20 (DA20)。

These products will be rebranded under the Bitwise name and no significant changes to the structure or goals of the current ETC investment strategies are planned at this time.

這些產品將更名為 Bitwise，目前沒有計劃對當前 ETC 投資策略的結構或目標進行重大改變。

"For an asset management firm, culture and values are essential, and we couldn’t be more excited to continue our work in Europe as part of Bitwise,” said ETC Group co-founder Bradley Duke in the post.

ETC Group 聯合創始人 Bradley Duke 在帖子中表示：“對於一家資產管理公司來說，文化和價值觀至關重要，我們非常高興能作為 Bitwise 的一部分繼續在歐洲開展工作。”

The landmark deal will bring Bitwise's total assets under management to over $4.5 billion, a major milestone in the company's seven-year history.

這筆具有里程碑意義的交易將使 Bitwise 管理的總資產超過 45 億美元，這是該公司七年歷史上的一個重要里程碑。

Earlier this year, the company introduced its first spot Bitcoin ETP which rapidly became one of the 25 fastest-growing ETPs in history, now boasting over $2.26 billion in assets at the time of writing.

今年早些時候，該公司推出了第一個現貨比特幣 ETP，該產品迅速成為歷史上增長最快的 25 個 ETP 之一，截至撰寫本文時，其資產已超過 22.6 億美元。

In July, the company launched its first spot Ethereum ETP, the Bitwise Ethereum ETF (ETHW), which quickly amassed over $246 million in assets within its initial weeks.

7 月，該公司推出了首個現貨以太坊 ETP，即 Bitwise 以太坊 ETF (ETHW)，該產品在最初幾週內迅速累積了超過 2.46 億美元的資產。

"This acquisition allows us to serve European investors, to offer clients global insight, and to expand the product suite with innovative ETPs,” said Hunter Horsley, Bitwise’s CEO. Alongside the new ETPs introduced this year, Bitwise intends to strategically expand the existing ETC Group platform across Europe.

Bitwise 執行長Hunter Horsley 表示：「此次收購使我們能夠為歐洲投資者提供服務，為客戶提供全球洞察力，並透過創新的ETP 擴展產品套件。」除了今年推出的新ETP 之外，Bitwise 還打算策略性地擴展現有的ETC整個歐洲的集團平台。
