Asset manager VanEck is set to launch Australia's first-ever spot Bitcoin ETF.

資產管理公司 VanEck 將推出澳洲首個現貨比特幣 ETF。

According to a blog update, the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX) approved the VanEck Bitcoin ETF for listing on June 20. The titan money manager said its offering would be Australia's lowest-cost Bitcoin (BTC) ETF.

根據部落格更新，澳洲證券交易所 (ASX) 於 6 月 20 日批准 VanEck 比特幣 ETF 上市。

“We are thrilled to announce that the VanEck Bitcoin ETF (Ticker: EBTC) has received final approval from the Australian Securities & Investments Commission (ASIC) and the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX) for listing on the ASX,” the asset manager wrote in the blog post.

「我們很高興地宣布，VanEck 比特幣ETF（股票代碼：EBTC）已獲得澳大利亞證券和投資委員會（ASIC）和澳大利亞證券交易所（ASX）在ASX 上市的最終批准，」該資產管理公司在中寫道。

“This follows the ASX approval on June 20, 2023, and is a significant milestone in our pursuit to launch Australia's lowest-cost and first physical spot Bitcoin ETF on the ASX, subject to meeting continuous listing rules.”

「這是繼2023 年6 月20 日獲得澳洲證券交易所批准之後，在滿足連續上市規則的前提下，我們在澳洲證券交易所推出澳洲成本最低且首個實物現貨比特幣ETF 的一個重要里程碑。 」

VanEck has been chasing a spot BTC ETF in Australia since 2021, becoming the first entity to formally apply for such products with the ASX. Following success in the U.S. and advanced Aussie regulatory policies, the company refiled its BTC ETF bid back in February.

自 2021 年以來，VanEck 一直在澳洲尋求現貨 BTC ETF，成為第一個向澳洲證券交易所正式申請此類產品的實體。繼在美國取得成功和先進的澳洲監管政策之後，該公司於 2 月重新提交了 BTC ETF 投標。

The latest update from VanEck confirmed a regulatory nod received from the Australian Securities & Investments Commission (ASIC), one of two agencies, along with ASX, that must approve products before listing.

VanEck 的最新更新證實了澳洲證券和投資委員會 (ASIC) 的監管認可，該委員會是與澳洲證券交易所 (ASX) 一起必須在上市前批准產品的兩個機構之一。

Launching on the ASX allows the wealth consultant to access the bulk of Australia's capital market. Around 90% of the equity portfolio in Australia reportedly lives on the ASX.

在澳洲證券交易所上市使財富顧問能夠進入澳洲大部分資本市場。據報道，澳洲約 90% 的股票投資組合都在澳洲證券交易所上市。

“Like these investors, we consider the ETF vehicle is the optimal delivery mechanism for an asset class like bitcoin,” VanEck wrote.

VanEck 寫道：“與這些投資者一樣，我們認為 ETF 工具是比特幣等資產類別的最佳交付機制。”

Still, the ASIC has advised investors to remain aware of the risks associated with investing in funds that track cryptocurrency prices.

儘管如此，ASIC仍建議投資人保持警惕投資追蹤加密貨幣價格的基金的相關風險。

“These products give investors exposure to the price movements of the underlying cryptocurrency, which can be highly volatile,” ASIC stated in a warning notice.

ASIC 在警告通知中表示：“這些產品讓投資者能夠了解基礎加密貨幣的價格變動，而這種價格波動可能非常劇烈。”

“Investors should also be aware that these products may not be suitable for all investors and should consider their own financial situation and needs before investing.”

“投資者還應意識到，這些產品可能不適合所有投資者，在投資之前應考慮自己的財務狀況和需求。”

Bitcoin, crypto ETFs proliferating multiple jurisdictions

比特幣、加密貨幣 ETF 在多個司法管轄區激增

After a blistering start to the ETF life cycle in the U.S., other countries are accelerating plans to onboard crypto-backed funds and allow investors access exposure to such products.

在美國 ETF 生命週期蓬勃發展之後，其他國家正在加快推出加密貨幣支持基金的計劃，並允許投資者投資此類產品。

Some have surmised that Asia's markets could be the next crypto hub to approve crypto ETFs. Spot BTC funds already opened in Hong Kong, although the investment products saw modest flows to their U.S. counterparts.

有些人猜測亞洲市場可能成為下一個批准加密貨幣 ETF 的加密貨幣中心。現貨比特幣基金已在香港開業，但這些投資產品流向美國同行的資金不多。

Hong Kong has also shown a willingness to greenlight contentious crypto practices like Ethereum (ETH) staking, a move that could attract massive capital inflows in the region.

香港也表示願意為以太坊（ETH）質押等有爭議的加密貨幣做法開綠燈，此舉可能會吸引該地區的大量資本流入。
