美國證券交易委員會延長 7RCC 比特幣現貨 ETF 的截止日期，引發對以太幣現貨 ETF 批准的質疑

Washington, D.C., USA - The United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has extended its review period for the launch of 7RCC's Bitcoin spot exchange-traded fund (ETF), casting a shadow over the potential approval of similar funds for other cryptocurrencies, including Ether.

美國華盛頓特區 - 美國證券交易委員會 (SEC) 延長了對 7RCC 比特幣現貨交易所交易基金 (ETF) 推出的審查期，這給其他加密貨幣類似基金的潛在批准蒙上了陰影。

7RCC Bitcoin Spot ETF Faces Extended Scrutiny

7RCC 比特幣現貨 ETF 面臨更廣泛的審查

In a notice published on May 2, the SEC announced an extension of its review period for 7RCC's Bitcoin spot and Carbon Credit Futures ETF until June 24, 2024. This represents a 45-day delay from the initial deadline of May 10.

在 5 月 2 日發布的通知中，SEC 宣布將 7RCC 的比特幣現貨和碳信用期貨 ETF 的審查期延長至 2024 年 6 月 24 日。

The financial regulator stated that the extension would provide sufficient time to thoroughly consider the proposed rule change, which aims to offer investors direct exposure to Bitcoin and carbon credits.

金融監管機構表示，延期將為徹底考慮擬議的規則變更提供足夠的時間，該規則變更旨在為投資者提供直接接觸比特幣和碳信用的機會。

ETF Details and Custodianship

ETF 詳情和託管

7RCC's proposed ETF would invest 80% of its assets into Bitcoin and allocate the remaining 20% to financial instruments providing exposure to carbon credit futures contracts. The fund would track the performance of the Vinter Bitcoin Carbon Credits Index, providing exposure to European Union Emissions Trading System allowances and other greenhouse gas emissions credits.

7RCC 提議的 ETF 將把 80% 的資產投資於比特幣，並將剩餘的 20% 分配給提供碳信用期貨合約曝險的金融工具。該基金將追蹤溫特比特幣碳信用指數的表現，提供歐盟排放交易系統配額和其他溫室氣體排放信用的曝險。

Gemini, a renowned crypto exchange, has been designated as the custodian of the Bitcoin Spot ETF, which, if approved, would mark the twelfth Bitcoin spot ETF launched in the United States since January.

著名的加密貨幣交易所 Gemini 已被指定為比特幣現貨 ETF 的託管人，如果獲得批准，這將是自 1 月以來在美國推出的第 12 個比特幣現貨 ETF。

Ether Spot ETF Approval in Jeopardy

以太坊現貨 ETF 批准面臨危險

Beyond the delayed review of the 7RCC ETF, the SEC's stance on Ether spot ETFs has also garnered attention. MicroStrategy Executive Chairman and Co-founder Michael Saylor, a vocal Bitcoin advocate, expressed skepticism about the prospect of Ether being classified as a security by the SEC.

除了延遲審查 7RCC ETF 之外，SEC 對 ETH 現貨 ETF 的立場也引起了關注。 MicroStrategy 執行主席兼聯合創始人 Michael Saylor 是一位直言不諱的比特幣倡導者，他對 SEC 將以太幣歸類為證券的前景表示懷疑。

Saylor believes that such a designation would prevent Ether and other tokens, such as BNB, SOL, XRP, and ADA, from being wrapped into spot ETFs, limiting their mainstream accessibility and institutional adoption.

Saylor 認為，這樣的指定將阻止 Ether 和其他代幣（例如 BNB、SOL、XRP 和 ADA）被納入現貨 ETF，從而限制其主流可及性和機構採用。

Saylor's Security Concerns

Saylor 的安全擔憂

Saylor, who has consistently invested in Bitcoin through his company's acquisition of BTC, emphasized that neither Wall Street nor mainstream institutional investors would embrace these tokens as crypto assets if they were classified as securities.

Saylor 一直透過公司收購 BTC 來投資比特幣，他強調，如果這些代幣被歸類為證券，那麼華爾街和主流機構投資者都不會接受這些代幣作為加密資產。

The SEC's apparent hesitation to approve Ether spot ETFs aligns with prior rejections of similar products. In February, the SEC rejected a spot ETF proposed by Grayscale Investments, the world's largest digital currency asset manager.

美國證券交易委員會對批准以太坊現貨 ETF 的明顯猶豫與先前拒絕類似產品的情況一致。今年 2 月，SEC 拒絕了全球最大數位貨幣資產管理公司 Grayscale Investments 提出的現貨 ETF 提案。

Implications for Crypto Market

對加密貨幣市場的影響

The SEC's actions and Saylor's insights raise concerns about the regulatory landscape for cryptocurrencies in the United States. If Ether is indeed classified as a security, it could have significant ramifications for the entire crypto market, especially for investors seeking exposure to alternative cryptocurrencies beyond Bitcoin.

美國證券交易委員會的行動和塞勒的見解引發了人們對美國加密貨幣監管環境的擔憂。如果以太幣確實被歸類為證券，那麼它可能會對整個加密貨幣市場產生重大影響，特別是對於尋求比特幣以外的替代加密貨幣的投資者而言。

As the SEC continues to navigate the complexities of crypto regulation, the outcomes of these pending reviews will undoubtedly shape the future of cryptocurrency investment in the United States. The industry awaits further developments from regulators and will closely monitor any potential shifts in the regulatory environment.

隨著美國證券交易委員會繼續應對加密貨幣監管的複雜性，這些待審審查的結果無疑將塑造美國加密貨幣投資的未來。該行業等待監管機構的進一步發展，並將密切關注監管環境的任何潛在變化。
