貝萊德比特幣 ETF 超越灰度，成為全球最大的比特幣 ETF

紐約：貝萊德旗下的 iShares 比特幣信託 (IBIT) 已成為全球最大的加密貨幣基金，募資近

BlackRock Inc's iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT) has become the world's largest fund for the world's largest cryptocurrency, racking up nearly $20 billion in total assets since listing in the United States in January, Bloomberg News reported on Tuesday.

根據彭博社週二報道，貝萊德旗下的 iShares 比特幣信託基金 (IBIT) 已成為全球最大的加密貨幣基金，自 1 月在美國上市以來，其總資產已接近 200 億美元。

The exchange-traded fund (ETF) held $19.68 billion of token on Tuesday, overtaking Grayscale Bitcoin Trust's $19.65 billion, the report said, citing data compiled by Bloomberg.

報告引述彭博社彙編的數據稱，該交易所交易基金 (ETF) 週二持有 196.8 億美元的代幣，超過 Grayscale Bitcoin Trust 的 196.5 億美元。

Reuters could not independently verify those numbers. Grayscale's product website cites its assets under management as being $19.75 billion. A spokesperson could not be reached for comment.

路透社無法獨立核實這些數字。 Grayscale 的產品網站稱其管理資產為 197.5 億美元。未能聯繫到發言人置評。

When the nine new ETFs launched in January, Grayscale's fund had about $29 billion in assets.

當 1 月推出 9 檔新 ETF 時，Grayscale 的基金資產約為 290 億美元。

Market analysts have been keeping a keen eye on the relative flows into BlackRock's ETF and out of the Grayscale Bitcoin Trust since U.S. regulators approved the launch of nine new ETFs and the conversion of Grayscale's publicly-traded trust into an exchange-traded product on Jan. 10.

自美國監管機構於1 月1 日批准推出9 只新ETF 以及將灰階公開交易信託轉換為交易所交易產品以來，市場分析師一直密切關注流入貝萊德ETF 和灰階比特幣信託的相對流量。

The Securities and Exchange Commission, which is led by crypto skeptic Gary Gensler, had rejected spot bitcoin ETFs for more than a decade over market manipulation worries, but approved them in January after Grayscale Investments won a court challenge last year.

由加密貨幣懷疑論者加里·根斯勒(Gary Gensler) 領導的美國證券交易委員會(Securities and Exchange Commission) 十多年來一直因市場操縱擔憂而拒絕現貨比特幣ETF，但在灰度投資(Grayscale Investments) 去年贏得法庭訴訟後，於1 月批准了比特幣ETF。

This has proved a short-lived victory for Grayscale, which has been hit by steady outflows since its newly converted ETF began trading on Jan. 11.

事實證明，這對灰階來說是短暫的勝利，自 1 月 11 日新轉換的 ETF 開始交易以來，該公司一直受到資金持續流出的打擊。

BlackRock's growing dominance of the ultra-competitive new spot bitcoin landscape "is a reminder that being the first mover doesn't necessarily mean that someone ends up as the biggest winner," said Aniket Ullal, head of ETF data and analytics at CFRA.

CFRA ETF 數據和分析主管 Aniket Ullal 表示，貝萊德在競爭異常激烈的新現貨比特幣領域日益佔據主導地位，「這提醒我們，成為先行者並不一定意味著有人最終成為最大的贏家」。

Early incumbents can have legacy disadvantages, he noted.

他指出，早期的任職者可能會面臨遺留下來的劣勢。

From the outset, Grayscale battled headwinds ranging from selling pressure and a fee of 1.5%, notably higher than the average of about 0.25% charged by its new rivals, which also include firms like Fidelity Investments and ARK Investments.

從一開始，Grayscale 就面臨著各種不利因素，包括拋售壓力和1.5% 的費用，明顯高於新競爭對手約0.25% 的平均收費，其中還包括富達投資(Fidelity Investments) 和ARK Investments 等公司。

"Grayscale was the only game in town for a long time, but now there are a lot of new options that are cheaper and more accessible," Ullal said.

「長期以來，灰階是城裡唯一的遊戲，但現在有很多更便宜、更容易獲得的新選擇，」烏拉爾說。

"It's a competitive market and anything can happen, but I wouldn't be surprised to see BlackRock continue to gain market share."

“這是一個競爭激烈的市場，任何事情都有可能發生，但如果貝萊德繼續獲得市場份額，我不會感到驚訝。”

BlackRock, the world's largest asset manager, has benefited from its strong distribution network among independent financial advisers and wealth managers, Ullal added.

烏拉爾補充道，全球最大的資產管理公司貝萊德受益於其獨立財務顧問和財富管理公司強大的分銷網絡。

"We're seeing significant assets moving into the ETF from the wealth community" as well as from individual advisers, Jay Jacobs, U.S. head of thematic and active ETFs, told Reuters on Tuesday ahead of the Bloomberg report.

週二，在彭博社發布報告之前，美國主題和主動 ETF 負責人傑伊·雅各布斯 (Jay Jacobs) 告訴路透社，“我們看到大量資產從財富界”以及個人顧問流入 ETF。

"A lot of early movers went from direct ownership of digital assets to IBIT," Jacobs added.

「許多早期推動者從直接擁有數位資產轉向了 IBIT，」Jacobs 補充道。

"Some of those accounts had millions of dollars" invested in the cryptocurrency.

「其中一些帳戶擁有數百萬美元」投資於加密貨幣。
