Bitcoin Suisse 透過 Obligate 平台發行數位債券

Bitcoin Suisse 是該國最大的數位資產參與者之一，已透過 Obligate 平台發行了數位債券。

Bitcoin Suisse, reportedly the largest digital asset custodian in the country, has issued a digital bond via the Obligate platform. The issuer had planned to become a bank but shifted strategy after Bitcoin’s price rebounded last year.

據報道，瑞士最大的數位資產託管機構 Bitcoin Suisse 已透過 Obligate 平台發行了數位債券。發行人原本計劃成為一家銀行，但在去年比特幣價格反彈後改變了策略。

The digital asset custodian had CHF 5 billion ($5.6bn) in assets under custody at the beginning of 2024. About 40% of those assets were part of its staking solution, which together with crypto trading contributed significantly towards its revenues. However, the company made a loss of CHF 13 million in 2023. It managed to recover that and more in the first quarter of 2024 with a profit of CHF 17.2 million.

截至2024 年初，這家數位資產託管公司託管了50 億瑞士法郎（合56 億美元）的資產。了重大貢獻。然而，該公司在 2023 年虧損了 1,300 萬瑞士法郎。

We’ve requested more details about the bond but didn’t receive the information in time for publication. The bond is said to be over-collateralized to fund Bitcoin Suisse’s digital asset lending solution and the issuance is atomically settled using USDC as the settlement currency, with Circle as its backer.

我們已要求了解有關債券的更多詳細信息，但未及時收到可供發布的信息。據稱，該債券是超額抵押的，旨在為 Bitcoin Suisse 的數位資產借貸解決方案提供資金，並且發行以 USDC 作為結算貨幣以原子方式結算，Circle 為其支持者。

“We are excited to support Bitcoin Suisse in their digital asset lending endeavors with Obligate’s fully digital and legally binding bond issuance solution,” said Stephan D. Meyer, Co-Founder and CLO at Obligate. “By facilitating this tokenized bond issuance, we empower institutional-grade brokers and custodians like Bitcoin Suisse, who custody billions in assets, to leverage our advanced blockchain technology, robust legal framework, and collateralization capabilities.”

Obligate 聯合創始人兼 CLO Stephan D. Meyer 表示：“我們很高興能夠透過 Obligate 的全數位化且具有法律約束力的債券發行解決方案來支持 Bitcoin Suisse 的數位資產借貸業務。” “透過促進這種代幣化債券的發行，我們使像 Bitcoin Suisse 這樣託管數十億資產的機構級經紀人和託管人能夠利用我們先進的區塊鏈技術、強大的法律框架和抵押能力。”

Ten year old Bitcoin Suisse had planned to become a bank but abandoned that strategy when Bitcoin’s price rebounded last year. As a result of the strategic change, it has a new CEO, one of its co-founders, Andrej Majcen.

成立十年的Bitcoin Suisse原計劃成為一家銀行，但去年比特幣價格反彈後放棄了這項策略。由於戰略變革，該公司迎來了一位新首席執行官，即聯合創始人之一安德烈·馬傑森 (Andrej Majcen)。

Meanwhile, Obligate (formerly FQX) has a tokenization solution for promissory note and bond issuance. The startup’s partners include Credit Suisse and SIX, the Swiss stock exchange group. Last year SIX also chose to invest in Obligate alongside stablecoin issuer Circle.

同時，Obligate（前身為 FQX）擁有針對本票和債券發行的代幣化解決方案。該新創公司的合作夥伴包括瑞士信貸和瑞士證券交易所集團六號。去年，SIX 也選擇與穩定幣發行商 Circle 一起投資 Obligate。

Obligate started out using Hyperledger Fabric for issuance but switched to public blockchains more than two years ago and now mainly uses Polygon POS.

Obligate一開始使用Hyperledger Fabric進行發行，但兩年多前轉向公共區塊鏈，現在主要使用Polygon POS。

In March Obligate hosted a bond issuance for Metavisio (Thomson Computing). It claims it was the first digital bond issuance for a public company that didn’t involve traditional banks. We note that Siemens issued a public blockchain bond without using a CSD. However, the Siemens bond was organized by German bank Hauck Aufhäuser Lampe Privatbank.

3 月份，Obligate 為 Metavisio（湯姆森計算）舉辦了債券發行活動。它聲稱這是首次不涉及傳統銀行的上市公司發行數位債券。我們注意到西門子在沒有使用 CSD 的情況下發行了公共區塊鏈債券。然而，西門子債券是由德國 Hauck Aufhäuser Lampe Privatbank 銀行組織的。
