BlackRock扩大了Ishares比特币信托（IBIT）ETF的风险披露，警告量子计算威胁

BlackRock扩大了Ishares比特币信托（IBIT）ETF的风险披露，警告说，量子计算中的突破可能威胁到比特币的加密基础。

BlackRock has expanded its risk disclosures for the iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT) ETF, now detailing how breakthroughs in quantum computing could threaten the cryptographic foundations of Bitcoin, as reported by CryptoBriefing.

贝莱德（BlackRock）扩大了iShares比特币信托（IBIT）ETF的风险披露，现在详细介绍了量子计算中的突破如何威胁到比特币的加密基础，如CryptoBriefing所报道。

In a revised prospectus filed May 9, the firm has broadened what was once a brief mention of the technology into a detailed section outlining how future advances in quantum systems could undermine the security of digital assets.

在5月9日提交的经修订的招股说明书中，该公司将曾经对该技术简要提及的内容扩大到了一个详细的部分，概述了量子系统的未来进步如何破坏数字资产的安全性。

An ETF, or exchange-traded fund, is a type of investment fund that trades on stock exchanges like a regular stock. It typically holds a diversified portfolio of assets — such as stocks, bonds, commodities, or, in this case, digital assets — and allows investors to gain exposure to those assets without buying them individually.

ETF或Exchange Trade Fund是一种投资基金，在常规股票等证券交易所进行交易。它通常拥有多元化的资产组合，例如股票，债券，商品，或在这种情况下是数字资产，并允许投资者无需单独购买这些资产就可以接触这些资产。

Bitcoin’s Quantum Vulnerabilities

比特币的量子漏洞

The prospectus notes that Bitcoin’s underlying cryptography — essential to securing transactions and safeguarding wallets — could become ineffective if quantum capabilities grow far beyond current levels. That would leave the network vulnerable to malicious actors who might exploit these weaknesses to steal bitcoin, including holdings in the trust itself.

招股说明书指出，如果量子能力远远超出当前水平，则比特币的基本密码学 - 确保交易和保护钱包至关重要。这将使网络容易受到恶意参与者的攻击，他们可能利用这些弱点来窃取比特币，包括信托本身的持股。

While efforts are underway to develop quantum-resistant cryptographic standards, BlackRock cautions that implementing such upgrades would require widespread coordination within the decentralized Bitcoin community. Any transition could involve contentious network forks and might not be adopted in time to prevent security breaches.

尽管正在努力制定抗量子的加密标准，但贝莱德警告说，实施此类升级将需要在分散的比特币社区内进行广泛的协调。任何过渡都可能涉及有争议的网络叉，并且可能不会及时采用以防止安全漏洞。

The warning comes amid broader concerns about flaws in digital asset source code. Past incidents have exposed user data, disabled functionality, or led to theft, according to the filing. Even if only one digital asset were compromised, the loss of confidence could ripple across the broader market, weakening demand and hurting valuations.

警告出于对数字资产源代码中缺陷的更广泛关注而引起警告。根据文件，过去的事件已暴露了用户数据，残疾功能或导致盗窃。即使只有一个数字资产被妥协，失去信心也可能在整个更广阔的市场上荡漾，削弱需求和造成估值。

Emerging Risks

新兴风险

BlackRock also acknowledges that because Bitcoin and similar assets are still evolving, additional and unforeseen risks could emerge in the future.

贝莱德还承认，由于比特币和类似资产仍在不断发展，因此将来可能会出现额外且无法预料的风险。

While the impact of quantum computing remains speculative, the firm’s detailed disclosure reflects a growing awareness that digital asset infrastructure may not be future-proof—and that security assumptions long taken for granted could be upended as new technologies mature.

尽管量子计算的影响仍然是投机性的，但该公司的详细披露反映了人们对数字资产基础架构可能无法实现未来的认识，而长期以来，将长期以来的安全假设视为理所当然。

It may sound fairly worrisome and heavy-handed, but these disclosures are routine, according to Bloomberg analyst James Seyffart.

彭博分析师詹姆斯·塞法特（James Seyffart）表示，这听起来可能很令人担忧和笨拙，但是这些披露是常规的。

He posted to social media site X about the disclosure: “To be clear. These are just basic risk disclosures. They are going to highlight any potential thing that can go wrong with any product they list or underlying asset thats being invested in. It’s completely standard. And honestly makes complete sense.”

他在社交媒体网站X上发布了有关披露的信息：“要明确。这只是基本的风险披露。它们将突出他们列出的任何产品或所投资的基本资产可能出错的任何潜在问题。这完全是标准的。老实说，这是完全合理的。”

A similar disclosure has been added to the iShares Ethereum prospectus.

同类的以太坊招股说明书已添加了类似的披露。

While both disclosures are routine, their addition to their respective prospectuses does not indicate the imminent arrival of quantum computers capable of hacking crypto currencies, such as Ethereum or Bitcoin. However, this heightened concern does suggest that the quantum’s disruptive effects are becoming more widely known and financial officials and cybersecurity researchers are scrutinizing the capabilities of quantum devices on the financial system more intensely.

尽管这两种披露都是常规的，但它们在各自的招股说明书中的增加并不表示能够黑客加密货币（例如以太坊或比特币）的量子计算机即将到来。但是，这种加剧的关注确实表明，量子的破坏性影响越来越广为人知，财务官员和网络安全研究人员正在更加强烈地审查量子设备在金融体系上的能力。
