渣打銀行設立比特幣和以太幣交易櫃檯

（彭博）—知情人士稱，渣打銀行正在設立比特幣和以太坊交易櫃檯，使其成為首批進入現貨加密貨幣交易的全球銀行之一。

Standard Chartered (STAN) is setting up a trading desk for Bitcoin and Ether, making it one of the first global banks to enter spot cryptocurrency trading, according to people familiar with the matter.

知情人士透露，渣打銀行（STAN）正在設立比特幣和以太坊交易櫃檯，使其成為首批進入現貨加密貨幣交易的全球銀行之一。

The new crypto desk is close to starting operations and will be part of the bank’s FX trading unit, two of the people said, asking not to be named discussing private information. It will be run from London, according to one person.

兩名因討論私人資訊而要求匿名的知情人士表示，新的加密貨幣櫃檯即將開始運營，並將成為該銀行外匯交易部門的一部分。據一位人士透露，它將在倫敦運營。

While banks including Goldman Sachs (GS) have been trading cryptocurrency derivatives for years, strict regulations have kept them from dealing directly in the underlying assets.

儘管包括高盛（GS）在內的銀行多年來一直在交易加密貨幣衍生品，但嚴格的監管規定使它們無法直接交易基礎資產。

The Basel Committee on Banking Supervision has proposed that banks must apply a 1,250% risk weighting to any unhedged crypto exposure, making it difficult to generate profits.

巴塞爾銀行監理委員會建議銀行必須對任何未對沖的加密貨幣敞口應用 1,250% 的風險權重，使其難以產生利潤。

“We have been working closely with our regulators to support demand from our institutional clients to trade Bitcoin and Ethereum, in line with our strategy to support clients across the wider digital asset ecosystem, from access and custody to tokenization and interoperability,” the bank said in an emailed statement.

該銀行表示：「我們一直與監管機構密切合作，支持機構客戶交易比特幣和以太坊的需求，這符合我們支持更廣泛的數位資產生態系統客戶的策略，從訪問和託管到代幣化和互操作性。

A Standard Chartered spokesperson declined to comment further.

渣打銀行發言人拒絕進一步評論。

Standard Chartered is among several large banks pushing deeper into crypto as institutional adoption of the asset class widens. It owns stakes in two crypto firms, Zodia Custody and Zodia Markets, which offer services ranging from custody to over-the-counter trading.

隨著資產類別的機構採用範圍擴大，渣打銀行是幾家深入推動加密貨幣領域的大型銀行之一。它擁有兩家加密貨幣公司 Zodia Custody 和 Zodia Markets 的股份，這兩家公司提供從託管到場外交易的服務。

In November, it launched a blockchain unit called Libeara to help institutions tokenize traditional assets. The unit is supporting the creation of a tokenized government bond fund using the Singaporean dollar.

11 月，它推出了名為 Libeara 的區塊鏈部門，幫助機構將傳統資產代幣化。該部門正在支持使用新加坡元創建代幣化政府債券基金。
