ETC 集团被 Bitwise 资产管理公司收购

ETC Group 是欧洲最大的实物比特币交易所交易产品 (ETP) 的发行人，管理资产超过 10 亿美元，已被 Bitwise Asset Management 收购

Crypto index fund management giant Bitwise Asset Management has acquired ETC Group, the issuer of the largest physical Bitcoin exchange traded product (ETP) in Europe, according to a blog post on Monday.

根据周一的一篇博客文章，加密货币指数基金管理巨头 Bitwise Asset Management 已收购 ETC Group，该集团是欧洲最大的实物比特币交易所交易产品（ETP）的发行人。

Founded in 2019, ETC Group offers a range of ETPs, including the most actively traded physical Bitcoin ETP (BTCE). Their portfolio also features ETPs for Ethereum with staking (ET32), Solana (ESOL), XRP (GXRP), and the MSCI Digital Assets Select 20 (DA20).

ETC Group 成立于 2019 年，提供一系列 ETP，包括交易最活跃的实物比特币 ETP (BTCE)。他们的投资组合还包括带有质押功能的以太坊 ETP (ET32)、Solana (ESOL)、XRP (GXRP) 和 MSCI Digital Assets Select 20 (DA20)。

These products will be rebranded under the Bitwise name and no significant changes to the structure or goals of the current ETC investment strategies are planned at this time.

这些产品将更名为 Bitwise，目前没有计划对当前 ETC 投资策略的结构或目标进行重大改变。

"For an asset management firm, culture and values are essential, and we couldn’t be more excited to continue our work in Europe as part of Bitwise,” said ETC Group co-founder Bradley Duke in the post.

ETC Group 联合创始人 Bradley Duke 在帖子中表示：“对于一家资产管理公司来说，文化和价值观至关重要，我们非常高兴能作为 Bitwise 的一部分继续在欧洲开展工作。”

The landmark deal will bring Bitwise's total assets under management to over $4.5 billion, a major milestone in the company's seven-year history.

这笔具有里程碑意义的交易将使 Bitwise 管理的总资产超过 45 亿美元，这是该公司七年历史上的一个重要里程碑。

Earlier this year, the company introduced its first spot Bitcoin ETP which rapidly became one of the 25 fastest-growing ETPs in history, now boasting over $2.26 billion in assets at the time of writing.

今年早些时候，该公司推出了第一个现货比特币 ETP，该产品迅速成为历史上增长最快的 25 个 ETP 之一，截至撰写本文时，其资产已超过 22.6 亿美元。

In July, the company launched its first spot Ethereum ETP, the Bitwise Ethereum ETF (ETHW), which quickly amassed over $246 million in assets within its initial weeks.

7 月，该公司推出了其首个现货以太坊 ETP，即 Bitwise 以太坊 ETF (ETHW)，该产品在最初几周内迅速积累了超过 2.46 亿美元的资产。

"This acquisition allows us to serve European investors, to offer clients global insight, and to expand the product suite with innovative ETPs,” said Hunter Horsley, Bitwise’s CEO. Alongside the new ETPs introduced this year, Bitwise intends to strategically expand the existing ETC Group platform across Europe.

Bitwise 首席执行官 Hunter Horsley 表示：“此次收购使我们能够为欧洲投资者提供服务，为客户提供全球洞察力，并通过创新的 ETP 扩展产品套件。”除了今年推出的新 ETP 之外，Bitwise 还打算战略性地扩展现有的 ETC整个欧洲的集团平台。
