贝莱德比特币 ETF 超越灰度，成为全球最大的比特币 ETF

纽约：贝莱德旗下的 iShares 比特币信托 (IBIT) 已成为全球最大的加密货币基金，募资近

BlackRock Inc's iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT) has become the world's largest fund for the world's largest cryptocurrency, racking up nearly $20 billion in total assets since listing in the United States in January, Bloomberg News reported on Tuesday.

据彭博社周二报道，贝莱德公司旗下的 iShares 比特币信托基金 (IBIT) 已成为全球最大的加密货币基金，自 1 月份在美国上市以来，其总资产已接近 200 亿美元。

The exchange-traded fund (ETF) held $19.68 billion of token on Tuesday, overtaking Grayscale Bitcoin Trust's $19.65 billion, the report said, citing data compiled by Bloomberg.

报道援引彭博社汇编的数据称，该交易所交易基金 (ETF) 周二持有 196.8 亿美元的代币，超过 Grayscale Bitcoin Trust 的 196.5 亿美元。

Reuters could not independently verify those numbers. Grayscale's product website cites its assets under management as being $19.75 billion. A spokesperson could not be reached for comment.

路透社无法独立核实这些数字。 Grayscale 的产品网站称其管理资产为 197.5 亿美元。未能联系到发言人置评。

When the nine new ETFs launched in January, Grayscale's fund had about $29 billion in assets.

当 1 月份推出 9 只新 ETF 时，Grayscale 的基金资产约为 290 亿美元。

Market analysts have been keeping a keen eye on the relative flows into BlackRock's ETF and out of the Grayscale Bitcoin Trust since U.S. regulators approved the launch of nine new ETFs and the conversion of Grayscale's publicly-traded trust into an exchange-traded product on Jan. 10.

自美国监管机构于 1 月 1 日批准推出 9 只新 ETF 以及将灰度公开交易信托转换为交易所交易产品以来，市场分析师一直密切关注流入贝莱德 ETF 和灰度比特币信托的相对流量。 10.

The Securities and Exchange Commission, which is led by crypto skeptic Gary Gensler, had rejected spot bitcoin ETFs for more than a decade over market manipulation worries, but approved them in January after Grayscale Investments won a court challenge last year.

由加密货币怀疑论者加里·根斯勒 (Gary Gensler) 领导的美国证券交易委员会 (Securities and Exchange Commission) 十多年来一直因市场操纵担忧而拒绝现货比特币 ETF，但在灰度投资 (Grayscale Investments) 去年赢得法庭诉讼后，于 1 月份批准了比特币 ETF。

This has proved a short-lived victory for Grayscale, which has been hit by steady outflows since its newly converted ETF began trading on Jan. 11.

事实证明，这对灰度来说是短暂的胜利，自 1 月 11 日新转换的 ETF 开始交易以来，该公司一直受到资金持续流出的打击。

BlackRock's growing dominance of the ultra-competitive new spot bitcoin landscape "is a reminder that being the first mover doesn't necessarily mean that someone ends up as the biggest winner," said Aniket Ullal, head of ETF data and analytics at CFRA.

CFRA ETF 数据和分析主管 Aniket Ullal 表示，贝莱德在竞争异常激烈的新现货比特币领域日益占据主导地位，“这提醒我们，成为先行者并不一定意味着有人最终成为最大的赢家”。

Early incumbents can have legacy disadvantages, he noted.

他指出，早期的任职者可能会面临遗留下来的劣势。

From the outset, Grayscale battled headwinds ranging from selling pressure and a fee of 1.5%, notably higher than the average of about 0.25% charged by its new rivals, which also include firms like Fidelity Investments and ARK Investments.

从一开始，Grayscale 就面临着各种不利因素，包括抛售压力和 1.5% 的费用，明显高于新竞争对手约 0.25% 的平均收费，其中还包括富达投资 (Fidelity Investments) 和 ARK Investments 等公司。

"Grayscale was the only game in town for a long time, but now there are a lot of new options that are cheaper and more accessible," Ullal said.

“长期以来，灰度是城里唯一的游戏，但现在有很多更便宜、更容易获得的新选择，”乌拉尔说。

"It's a competitive market and anything can happen, but I wouldn't be surprised to see BlackRock continue to gain market share."

“这是一个竞争激烈的市场，任何事情都有可能发生，但如果贝莱德继续获得市场份额，我不会感到惊讶。”

BlackRock, the world's largest asset manager, has benefited from its strong distribution network among independent financial advisers and wealth managers, Ullal added.

乌拉尔补充道，全球最大的资产管理公司贝莱德受益于其独立财务顾问和财富管理公司强大的分销网络。

"We're seeing significant assets moving into the ETF from the wealth community" as well as from individual advisers, Jay Jacobs, U.S. head of thematic and active ETFs, told Reuters on Tuesday ahead of the Bloomberg report.

周二，在彭博社发布报告之前，美国主题和主动 ETF 负责人杰伊·雅各布斯 (Jay Jacobs) 告诉路透社，“我们看到大量资产从财富界”以及个人顾问流入 ETF。

"A lot of early movers went from direct ownership of digital assets to IBIT," Jacobs added.

“许多早期推动者从直接拥有数字资产转向了 IBIT，”Jacobs 补充道。

"Some of those accounts had millions of dollars" invested in the cryptocurrency.

“其中一些账户拥有数百万美元”投资于加密货币。
