渣打银行设立比特币和以太币交易柜台

（彭博社）——知情人士称，渣打银行正在设立比特币和以太币交易柜台，使其成为首批进入现货加密货币交易的全球银行之一。

Standard Chartered (STAN) is setting up a trading desk for Bitcoin and Ether, making it one of the first global banks to enter spot cryptocurrency trading, according to people familiar with the matter.

据知情人士透露，渣打银行（STAN）正在设立比特币和以太坊交易柜台，使其成为首批进入现货加密货币交易的全球银行之一。

The new crypto desk is close to starting operations and will be part of the bank’s FX trading unit, two of the people said, asking not to be named discussing private information. It will be run from London, according to one person.

两名因讨论私人信息而要求匿名的知情人士表示，新的加密货币柜台即将开始运营，并将成为该银行外汇交易部门的一部分。据一位人士透露，它将在伦敦运营。

While banks including Goldman Sachs (GS) have been trading cryptocurrency derivatives for years, strict regulations have kept them from dealing directly in the underlying assets.

尽管包括高盛（GS）在内的银行多年来一直在交易加密货币衍生品，但严格的监管规定使它们无法直接交易基础资产。

The Basel Committee on Banking Supervision has proposed that banks must apply a 1,250% risk weighting to any unhedged crypto exposure, making it difficult to generate profits.

巴塞尔银行监管委员会建议银行必须对任何未对冲的加密货币敞口应用 1,250% 的风险权重，从而使其难以产生利润。

“We have been working closely with our regulators to support demand from our institutional clients to trade Bitcoin and Ethereum, in line with our strategy to support clients across the wider digital asset ecosystem, from access and custody to tokenization and interoperability,” the bank said in an emailed statement.

该银行表示：“我们一直与监管机构密切合作，支持机构客户交易比特币和以太坊的需求，这符合我们支持更广泛的数字资产生态系统客户的战略，从访问和托管到代币化和互操作性。”在电子邮件声明中。

A Standard Chartered spokesperson declined to comment further.

渣打银行发言人拒绝进一步置评。

Standard Chartered is among several large banks pushing deeper into crypto as institutional adoption of the asset class widens. It owns stakes in two crypto firms, Zodia Custody and Zodia Markets, which offer services ranging from custody to over-the-counter trading.

随着资产类别的机构采用范围扩大，渣打银行是几家深入推进加密货币领域的大型银行之一。它拥有两家加密货币公司 Zodia Custody 和 Zodia Markets 的股份，这两家公司提供从托管到场外交易的服务。

In November, it launched a blockchain unit called Libeara to help institutions tokenize traditional assets. The unit is supporting the creation of a tokenized government bond fund using the Singaporean dollar.

11 月，它推出了名为 Libeara 的区块链部门，帮助机构将传统资产代币化。该部门正在支持使用新加坡元创建代币化政府债券基金。
