As part of the agreement, SBI will hold a majority stake of 51% in the new company, while Franklin will own the remaining 49%. In addition to Bitcoin ETFs, the joint venture will also venture into digital asset securities, including tokenization, a field projected to reach $16.1 trillion by 2030.

作为协议的一部分，SBI 将持有新公司 51% 的多数股权，而富兰克林将拥有其余 49% 的股权。除了比特币 ETF 之外，该合资企业还将涉足数字资产证券，包括代币化，预计到 2030 年该领域将达到 16.1 万亿美元。

This move follows Franklin Templeton's launch of the tenth largest US Bitcoin ETF, which has seen strong performance with $312 million in AUM.

在此之前，富兰克林邓普顿推出了美国第十大比特币 ETF，该 ETF 表现强劲，资产管理规模达 3.12 亿美元。

富兰克林邓普顿数字资产主管 Roger Bayston 表示：“自 2018 年以来，我们一直参与和建设数字资产生态系统，并亲眼目睹了区块链技术的变革力量。”

On Tuesday, Franklin Templeton also launched the Franklin Ethereum ETF (EZET) on the Cboe BZE Exchange, with a 0.19% fee that will be waived until the ETF reaches $10 billion in assets on 31 January 2025.

周二，富兰克林邓普顿还在 Cboe BZE 交易所推出了富兰克林以太坊 ETF (EZET)，在 2025 年 1 月 31 日 ETF 资产达到 100 亿美元之前，将免除 0.19% 的费用。

“After the success of our spot bitcoin ETF (EZBC) launch in January, we are proud to add EZET to our growing lineup of digital asset ETFs,” said Patrick O’Connor, Head of Global ETFs for Franklin Templeton.

富兰克林邓普顿全球 ETF 主管 Patrick O'Connor 表示：“继 1 月份成功推出现货比特币 ETF (EZBC) 后，我们很自豪将 EZET 添加到我们不断增长的数字资产 ETF 产品阵容中。”

“With EZET, we are thrilled to offer our clients additional access to the digital asset ecosystem within a regulated fund structure that integrates seamlessly into traditional portfolios.”

“通过 EZET，我们很高兴能够为我们的客户提供在无缝集成到传统投资组合的受监管基金结构内进入数字资产生态系统的更多机会。”

Further commenting on the firm's interest in Ethereum, Bayston stated, “Ethereum has been at the forefront of Web3 innovation with things like smart contracts and the Ethereum Virtual Machine and we're excited to bring that technology revolution to our clients.”

Bayston 在进一步评论该公司对以太坊的兴趣时表示，“以太坊凭借智能合约和以太坊虚拟机等技术一直处于 Web3 创新的最前沿，我们很高兴能为我们的客户带来这场技术革命。”

On the other hand, SBI Holdings has been actively partnering with overseas companies to expand its alternative asset investment offerings.

另一方面，SBI Holdings一直积极与海外公司合作，扩大其另类资产投资产品。

In November 2023, stablecoin issuer Circle and SBI Holdings announced a strategic partnership to revolutionize the use of digital assets and usher in the era of Web3 services in Japan.

2023 年 11 月，稳定币发行商 Circle 和 SBI Holdings 宣布建立战略合作伙伴关系，以彻底改变数字资产的使用方式，并在日本迎来 Web3 服务时代。

At the heart of this collaboration is the wide-scale adoption of the US Dollar Coin (USDC). The integration of the stablecoin, issued by Circle and pegged to the US dollar, into the Japanese financial ecosystem aims to unlock numerous opportunities.

此次合作的核心是美元硬币（USDC）的广泛采用。将 Circle 发行的与美元挂钩的稳定币整合到日本金融生态系统中，旨在释放大量机会。

These include simplifying cross-border transactions, enhancing liquidity in the digital asset market, and introducing innovative financial products and services, Circle said in an announcement.

Circle 在一份声明中表示，这些措施包括简化跨境交易、增强数字资产市场的流动性以及推出创新的金融产品和服务。
