澳洲推出首個現貨比特幣 ETF

澳洲正在加入越來越多熱衷於加密貨幣的國家行列。經過多年的等待，由於首個現貨比特幣交易所交易基金（ETF）的推出，澳洲投資者現在可以買到實際的比特幣。

Australia has joined the crypto bandwagon with the launch of the first spot Bitcoin exchange-traded fund (ETF) in the country. The Monochrome Bitcoin ETF (IBTC) will be listed on the Cboe Australia exchange and begin trading on Tuesday, providing both professional money managers and ordinary consumers with a regulated and transparent way to own the original cryptocurrency.

澳洲加入了加密貨幣浪潮，推出了該國首個現貨比特幣交易所交易基金（ETF）。 Monochrome比特幣ETF（IBTC）將於週二在澳洲芝加哥期權交易所上市並開始交易，為專業資金管理者和普通消費者提供一種受監管且透明的方式來擁有原始加密貨幣。

The launch marks Australia's first step in offering direct access to Bitcoin. Currently, this is the only Australia-based ETF that will hold actual Bitcoin, as opposed to futures contracts.

此次推出標誌著澳洲在提供直接存取比特幣方面邁出了第一步。目前，這是澳洲唯一持有實際比特幣而非期貨合約的 ETF。

"Before IBTC, Australian investors were only able to invest in ETFs that indirectly hold bitcoin or through offshore bitcoin products, both of which don't benefit from the investor protection rules under the directly held crypto asset Australian Financial Services Licensing (AFSL) licensing regime," the ETF issuer said in its official statement.

「在IBTC 之前，澳洲投資者只能投資間接持有比特幣或透過離岸比特幣產品的ETF，這兩種產品都無法受益於直接持有加密資產澳洲金融服務許可(AFSL) 許可製度下的投資者保護規則”，ETF發行人在其官方聲明中表示。

In the lead-up to the launch, the price of Bitcoin rose by 4%, nearing $70,000 per coin. For the month of May, the leading crypto asset gained a solid 13%, outperforming most of the large-cap assets such as America's broad-based S&P 500 index.

在推出之前，比特幣的價格上漲了 4%，接近每枚 7 萬美元。 5 月份，領先的加密資產強勁上漲 13%，跑贏大多數大盤資產，例如美國廣泛的標準普爾 500 指數。
