Cantor Fitzgerald is launching a crypto venture with Tether and Japanese technology investor SoftBank Group to buy bitcoin, wagering that interest in the digital currency will expand under U.S. President Donald Trump.

坎托·菲茨杰拉德（Cantor Fitzgerald）正在與Tether和日本技術投資者軟銀集團（Softbank Group）一起開設一家加密貨幣，以購買比特幣，在美國總統唐納德·特朗普（Donald Trump）的領導下，對數字貨幣的利益將擴大。

The deal, announced on Wednesday, has blank-check vehicle Cantor Equity Partners merging into newly formed Twenty One Capital.

該交易於週三宣布，該交易讓Blank-Check車輛Cantor Equity Partners合併為新成立的二十一首資本。

The combined vehicle is valued at $3.6 billion, based on a bitcoin price of nearly $85,000 and Twenty One launching with more than 42,000 bitcoins, which will make it the world's third-largest bitcoin treasury, Twenty One said.

二十一位說，合併後的車輛的價值為36億美元，基於比特幣價格接近85,000美元，二十一輛以超過42,000的比特幣推出，這將使它成為世界第三大比特幣財政部。

The venture deepens ties between the Wall Street brokerage — chaired by Brandon Lutnick, son of the former Cantor boss and current U.S. commerce secretary — and Tether, the company behind the world's largest stablecoin.

該冒險公司加深了華爾街經紀公司（由前康托爾老闆和現任美國商務部長的兒子佈蘭登·盧特尼克（Brandon Lutnick）主持的關係）與世界上最大的Stablecoin背後的公司Tether。

"We're not here to beat the market, we're here to build a new one. A public stock, built by Bitcoiners, for Bitcoiners," said Twenty One Co-Founder and CEO Jack Mallers.

二十一位聯合創始人兼首席執行官傑克·馬洛爾（Jack Mallers）說：“我們不是在這裡擊敗市場，而是在這裡建造一個新的。

The new business will seek to replicate the success of Michael Saylor's bitcoin acquirer Strategy, whose market value surged late last year as crypto prices jumped following Trump's presidential election victory. Trump has promised to support the crypto industry by easing regulations for digital assets.

這項新業務將尋求復制邁克爾·賽勒（Michael Saylor）的比特幣收購方戰略的成功，因為特朗普總統大選勝利後加密貨幣價格上漲，去年下半年的市場價值飆升。特朗普已承諾通過放鬆數字資產法規來支持加密行業。

Strategy, the biggest corporate holder of bitcoin, held 538,200 units of the world's biggest cryptocurrency as of April 20, and has a market cap of around $91 billion.

戰略是比特幣的最大企業持有人，截至4月20日，擁有538,200輛全球最大的加密貨幣單位，市值約為910億美元。

Tether will contribute $1.6 billion worth of bitcoin to the venture, while Bitfinex, a crypto exchange linked to Tether, and SoftBank will put up $600 million and $900 million, respectively, according to an investor presentation.

根據投資者的演講，Tether將為該合資企業貢獻價值16億美元的比特幣，而與Tether相關的加密貨幣交易所Bitfinex將分別投入6億美元和9億美元。

The companies will raise $585 million in additional capital through a combination of convertible bonds and equity financing.

兩家公司將通過可轉換債券和股權融資的結合籌集5.85億美元的額外資本。

Some analysts have touted bitcoin , currently trading at $93,780, as a hedge against global economic risks. It has gained more than 40% in the past six months but fell this month along with stock markets and other asset prices when Trump sparked a global trade war.

一些分析師已經吹捧比特幣，目前以93,780美元的價格交易，以對沖全球經濟風險。在過去的六個月中，它的增長超過40％，但本月與股票市場和其他資產價格一起下降，當時特朗普引發了全球貿易戰。

Matt Mena, crypto research strategist at 21Shares, said macro and global conditions highlighted the need for a "digital, next-generation store of value", and claimed bitcoin was stepping into that role.

21Shares的加密研究策略師Matt Mena表示，Macro和全球條件強調了需要“數字化，下一代價值商店”的必要性，並聲稱比特幣正在扮演這一角色。

However, gold has been among the biggest beneficiaries of a flight to safety during the trade war, with the precious metal’s price soaring to record highs while bitcoin’s price is down this year.

但是，在貿易戰爭期間，黃金一直是飛往安全航班的最大受益者之一，貴金屬的價格飆升以記錄高價，而比特幣的價格今年下跌。

Twenty One will be majority owned by Tether and cryptocurrency exchange Bitfinex. SoftBank will have a minority ownership.

Tether and Cantor have long-standing ties from when Howard Lutnick was the brokerage's boss.

從霍華德·盧特尼克（Howard Lutnick）擔任經紀人的老闆時，Tether和Cantor與長期有聯繫。

Cantor holds much of the dollar-denominated reserves Tether says it has for every token it creates for its stablecoin.

Cantor擁有大部分以美元計價的儲備金Tether表示，它為其為其穩定的所有代幣創建的所有代幣。

Of the U.S. Treasury bills Tether holds, 99% are held with Cantor, Tether CEO Paolo Ardoino told Reuters last month.

Tether Ceo Paolo Ardoino上個月告訴路透社，在美國財政賬單中，有99％的人與Cantor持有。

Twenty One will trade on the Nasdaq under the symbol "XXI" after the deal closes.

交易結束後，二十一人將在納斯達克以“ XXI”符號交易。
