BlackRock擴大了Ishares比特幣信託（IBIT）ETF的風險披露，警告量子計算威脅

BlackRock擴大了Ishares比特幣信託（IBIT）ETF的風險披露，警告說，量子計算中的突破可能威脅到比特幣的加密基礎。

BlackRock has expanded its risk disclosures for the iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT) ETF, now detailing how breakthroughs in quantum computing could threaten the cryptographic foundations of Bitcoin, as reported by CryptoBriefing.

貝萊德（BlackRock）擴大了iShares比特幣信託（IBIT）ETF的風險披露，現在詳細介紹了量子計算中的突破如何威脅到比特幣的加密基礎，如CryptoBriefing所報導。

In a revised prospectus filed May 9, the firm has broadened what was once a brief mention of the technology into a detailed section outlining how future advances in quantum systems could undermine the security of digital assets.

在5月9日提交的經修訂的招股說明書中，該公司將曾經對該技術簡要提及的內容擴大到了一個詳細的部分，概述了量子系統的未來進步如何破壞數字資產的安全性。

An ETF, or exchange-traded fund, is a type of investment fund that trades on stock exchanges like a regular stock. It typically holds a diversified portfolio of assets — such as stocks, bonds, commodities, or, in this case, digital assets — and allows investors to gain exposure to those assets without buying them individually.

ETF或Exchange Trade Fund是一種投資基金，在常規股票等證券交易所進行交易。它通常擁有多元化的資產組合，例如股票，債券，商品，或在這種情況下是數字資產，並允許投資者無需單獨購買這些資產就可以接觸這些資產。

Bitcoin’s Quantum Vulnerabilities

比特幣的量子漏洞

The prospectus notes that Bitcoin’s underlying cryptography — essential to securing transactions and safeguarding wallets — could become ineffective if quantum capabilities grow far beyond current levels. That would leave the network vulnerable to malicious actors who might exploit these weaknesses to steal bitcoin, including holdings in the trust itself.

招股說明書指出，如果量子能力遠遠超出當前水平，則比特幣的基本密碼學 - 確保交易和保護錢包至關重要。這將使網絡容易受到惡意參與者的攻擊，他們可能利用這些弱點來竊取比特幣，包括信託本身的持股。

While efforts are underway to develop quantum-resistant cryptographic standards, BlackRock cautions that implementing such upgrades would require widespread coordination within the decentralized Bitcoin community. Any transition could involve contentious network forks and might not be adopted in time to prevent security breaches.

儘管正在努力製定抗量子的加密標準，但貝萊德警告說，實施此類升級將需要在分散的比特幣社區內進行廣泛的協調。任何過渡都可能涉及有爭議的網絡叉，並且可能不會及時採用以防止安全漏洞。

The warning comes amid broader concerns about flaws in digital asset source code. Past incidents have exposed user data, disabled functionality, or led to theft, according to the filing. Even if only one digital asset were compromised, the loss of confidence could ripple across the broader market, weakening demand and hurting valuations.

警告出於對數字資產源代碼中缺陷的更廣泛關注而引起警告。根據文件，過去的事件已暴露了用戶數據，殘疾功能或導致盜竊。即使只有一個數字資產被妥協，失去信心也可能在整個更廣闊的市場上蕩漾，削弱需求和造成估值。

Emerging Risks

新興風險

BlackRock also acknowledges that because Bitcoin and similar assets are still evolving, additional and unforeseen risks could emerge in the future.

貝萊德還承認，由於比特幣和類似資產仍在不斷發展，因此將來可能會出現額外且無法預料的風險。

While the impact of quantum computing remains speculative, the firm’s detailed disclosure reflects a growing awareness that digital asset infrastructure may not be future-proof—and that security assumptions long taken for granted could be upended as new technologies mature.

儘管量子計算的影響仍然是投機性的，但該公司的詳細披露反映了人們對數字資產基礎架構可能無法實現未來的認識，而長期以來，將長期以來的安全假設視為理所當然。

It may sound fairly worrisome and heavy-handed, but these disclosures are routine, according to Bloomberg analyst James Seyffart.

彭博分析師詹姆斯·塞法特（James Seyffart）表示，這聽起來可能很令人擔憂和笨拙，但是這些披露是常規的。

He posted to social media site X about the disclosure: “To be clear. These are just basic risk disclosures. They are going to highlight any potential thing that can go wrong with any product they list or underlying asset thats being invested in. It’s completely standard. And honestly makes complete sense.”

他在社交媒體網站X上發布了有關披露的信息：“要明確。這只是基本的風險披露。它們將突出他們列出的任何產品或所投資的基本資產可能出錯的任何潛在問題。這完全是標準的。老實說，這是完全合理的。”

A similar disclosure has been added to the iShares Ethereum prospectus.

同類的以太坊招股說明書已添加了類似的披露。

While both disclosures are routine, their addition to their respective prospectuses does not indicate the imminent arrival of quantum computers capable of hacking crypto currencies, such as Ethereum or Bitcoin. However, this heightened concern does suggest that the quantum’s disruptive effects are becoming more widely known and financial officials and cybersecurity researchers are scrutinizing the capabilities of quantum devices on the financial system more intensely.

儘管這兩種披露都是常規的，但它們在各自的招股說明書中的增加並不表示能夠黑客加密貨幣（例如以太坊或比特幣）的量子計算機即將到來。但是，這種加劇的關注確實表明，量子的破壞性影響越來越廣為人知，財務官員和網絡安全研究人員正在更加強烈地審查量子設備在金融體系上的能力。
