Bitcoin Suisse 通过 Obligate 平台发行数字债券

Bitcoin Suisse 是该国最大的数字资产参与者之一，已通过 Obligate 平台发行了数字债券。

Bitcoin Suisse, reportedly the largest digital asset custodian in the country, has issued a digital bond via the Obligate platform. The issuer had planned to become a bank but shifted strategy after Bitcoin’s price rebounded last year.

据报道，Bitcoin Suisse 是该国最大的数字资产托管机构，已通过 Obligate 平台发行了数字债券。发行人原本计划成为一家银行，但在去年比特币价格反弹后改变了策略。

The digital asset custodian had CHF 5 billion ($5.6bn) in assets under custody at the beginning of 2024. About 40% of those assets were part of its staking solution, which together with crypto trading contributed significantly towards its revenues. However, the company made a loss of CHF 13 million in 2023. It managed to recover that and more in the first quarter of 2024 with a profit of CHF 17.2 million.

截至 2024 年初，这家数字资产托管公司托管了 50 亿瑞士法郎（合 56 亿美元）的资产。其中约 40% 的资产是其质押解决方案的一部分，这与加密货币交易一起为其收入做出了重大贡献。然而，该公司在 2023 年亏损了 1300 万瑞士法郎。它在 2024 年第一季度成功弥补了亏损，甚至更多，利润为 1720 万瑞士法郎。

We’ve requested more details about the bond but didn’t receive the information in time for publication. The bond is said to be over-collateralized to fund Bitcoin Suisse’s digital asset lending solution and the issuance is atomically settled using USDC as the settlement currency, with Circle as its backer.

我们已要求了解有关债券的更多详细信息，但未及时收到可供发布的信息。据称，该债券是超额抵押的，旨在为 Bitcoin Suisse 的数字资产借贷解决方案提供资金，并且发行以 USDC 作为结算货币以原子方式结算，Circle 作为其支持者。

“We are excited to support Bitcoin Suisse in their digital asset lending endeavors with Obligate’s fully digital and legally binding bond issuance solution,” said Stephan D. Meyer, Co-Founder and CLO at Obligate. “By facilitating this tokenized bond issuance, we empower institutional-grade brokers and custodians like Bitcoin Suisse, who custody billions in assets, to leverage our advanced blockchain technology, robust legal framework, and collateralization capabilities.”

Obligate 联合创始人兼 CLO Stephan D. Meyer 表示：“我们很高兴能够通过 Obligate 的全数字化且具有法律约束力的债券发行解决方案来支持 Bitcoin Suisse 的数字资产借贷业务。” “通过促进这种代币化债券的发行，我们使像 Bitcoin Suisse 这样托管数十亿资产的机构级经纪人和托管人能够利用我们先进的区块链技术、强大的法律框架和抵押能力。”

Ten year old Bitcoin Suisse had planned to become a bank but abandoned that strategy when Bitcoin’s price rebounded last year. As a result of the strategic change, it has a new CEO, one of its co-founders, Andrej Majcen.

成立十年的Bitcoin Suisse原计划成为一家银行，但去年比特币价格反弹后放弃了这一战略。由于战略变革，该公司迎来了一位新首席执行官，即联合创始人之一安德烈·马杰森 (Andrej Majcen)。

Meanwhile, Obligate (formerly FQX) has a tokenization solution for promissory note and bond issuance. The startup’s partners include Credit Suisse and SIX, the Swiss stock exchange group. Last year SIX also chose to invest in Obligate alongside stablecoin issuer Circle.

与此同时，Obligate（前身为 FQX）拥有针对本票和债券发行的代币化解决方案。该初创公司的合作伙伴包括瑞士信贷和瑞士证券交易所集团六号。去年，SIX 还选择与稳定币发行商 Circle 一起投资 Obligate。

Obligate started out using Hyperledger Fabric for issuance but switched to public blockchains more than two years ago and now mainly uses Polygon POS.

Obligate一开始使用Hyperledger Fabric进行发行，但两年多前转向公共区块链，现在主要使用Polygon POS。

In March Obligate hosted a bond issuance for Metavisio (Thomson Computing). It claims it was the first digital bond issuance for a public company that didn’t involve traditional banks. We note that Siemens issued a public blockchain bond without using a CSD. However, the Siemens bond was organized by German bank Hauck Aufhäuser Lampe Privatbank.

3 月份，Obligate 为 Metavisio（汤姆森计算）举办了债券发行活动。它声称这是首次不涉及传统银行的上市公司发行数字债券。我们注意到西门子在没有使用 CSD 的情况下发行了公共区块链债券。然而，西门子债券是由德国 Hauck Aufhäuser Lampe Privatbank 银行组织的。
