Abstract

随着加密货币十数年来一步步走入主流视野,从 Grayscale 的 GBTC 开始,传统市场的资金渠道流入情况越来越收到加密货币市场的关注。近期市场的回暖和传统机构有密切的关系:根据 CoinShares 的加密资产流动数据统计,从十月初开始,除了 12 月的一周有少量卖出之外,有连续十余周的净流入。比特币的价格也从 25000 美金左右的位置一路上涨超过 45000 美金。

ETF 预期:加密市场的苏醒

随着加密货币十数年来一步步走入主流视野,从 Grayscale 的 GBTC 开始,传统市场的资金渠道流入情况越来越收到加密货币市场的关注。近期市场的回暖和传统机构有密切的关系:根据 CoinShares 的加密资产流动数据统计,从十月初开始,除了 12 月的一周有少量卖出之外,有连续十余周的净流入。比特币的价格也从 25000 美金左右的位置一路上涨超过 45000 美金。

市场普遍认为,这是投资者对美国 SEC 将会在一月份通过多家传统资管巨头比特币现货 ETF 的市场预期的体现。根据过往 ETF 审批流程来看,SEC 给出最终审批的时间最长为 240 天。Hashdex,Ark&21 shares 作为本批最早提交比特币现货 ETF 申请的机构,SEC 必须审批的截至时间点为 2024 年 1 月 10 日。如果这个比特币现货 ETF 被批准,那么大概率后续几家,如 BlackRock,Fidelity 等机构的比特币现货 ETF 大概率都会被批准。

而在美国比特币现货 ETF 被批准之前,资本市场早已经有合规的渠道获得加密资产敞口。早在 2013 年,灰度(Grayscale)的 GBTC 就已经上线,投资者能够通过传统券商渠道购买到 GBTC 信托的份额,从而间接持有比特币。

在过去的数年间,欧洲也有上百个和加密资产相关的 ETP 在传统交易市场上线,相关地区的投资人可以通过传统渠道购买到加密资产。大型资管巨头也有在非美国的资本市场发行比特币现货 ETF 产品,如 2021 年 Fidelity在加拿大多伦多股票交易所(TSX)上线和交易的比特币现货 ETF FBTC。

市场上已经不缺少购买到加密资产的渠道,那为什么大家如此关注美国比特币现货 ETF?这类产品和已有的合规加密资产购买渠道有何差异?

和现货 ETF 相比,这些产品差异在哪里?

按照产品法律结构来划分,目前市场上合规加密货币产品可以分为 ETP(Exchange Traded Products)和信托(Trust)。其中 ETP 又可以进一步划分为 ETN(exchange traded notes,交易所交易票据),ETF(Exchange traded fund,交易所交易基金)和 ETC(Exchange traded commodities,交易所交易商品),其中加密资产相关产品以 ETF 和 ETN 为主。

其中,ETF 能够为投资者提供更好的可得性,能够同时投资于多种资产,费率更低、适合长期投资。但 ETF 容易出现跟踪误差,其 ETF 中的资产价值与其应跟踪的基准价值之间存在差异,最终可能导致回报低于预期的情况出现。此外,ETF 在税务,申购赎回流程,流动性等问题上有更高的复杂度。

ETN 是一种债务结构,一般是由金融机构发行的无担保债务工具,投资者购买的是发行方的债务,通常由于信用问题因此对投资者有更高的风险。相比于 ETF 结构,一般来说 ETN 的流动性会更差。但 ETN 的好处在于,能够提供更多样化的资产类型,不会有跟踪误差的问题,税务上也能更加灵活。在上述几个产品中,21Shares Bitcoin ETP 就是典型的 ETN 产品。

信托结构相对比较复杂,一般只能在 OTC 市场进行交易,如 Grayscale 的 GBTC 仅在 OTCQX 上交易,这类平台流动性较差、投资者数量较少,OTCQX 整个平台日交易量也仅达到 13 亿美元(2024.01.02) 。此外,Grayscale GBTC 通过信托结构发行,只能单向申购,无法赎回;投资者在申购后六个月才能获得发行的份额并在二级市场交易,这样的性质是导致 GBTC 在牛市产生正溢价,在行情低迷时产生负溢价的原因。

进一步,上述产品若根据底层资产划分,可以分为两类:物理担保(Physically backed)和合成担保(Synthetically backed)。

物理担保 ETP:购买实物底层资产并持有,从而产品份额的价格能够跟踪底层资产的价格。物理担保的产品表现和相关资产的表现直接相关。如 Purpose Investment 的 BTCC,是在多伦多股票交易所上线的现货 ETF,每一份 ETF 都对应一定数量的、直接由 ETF 管理方持有的比特币,一般比特币会有专业的托管机构持有,如BTCC托管方为 Gemini Trust Company 和 Coinbase Trust Company。

合成担保 ETP:使用与交易对手(通常是银行)的互换协议来提供标的资产的回报。为确保每天交付回报,掉期交易对手通常需要向发行人存入由独立托管人持有的抵押品(通常为国债或蓝筹股)。所需的抵押品金额随跟踪的资产价值而波动。如 ProShares BITO,是在纽约证券交易所的比特币期货 ETF,基金投资于CME 上的比特币期货。

SEC 通过比特币现货 ETF,会有怎么样的市场影响?

上述各类在传统金融渠道交易的加密货币金融产品为投资者提供了一站式获得加密资产敞口的渠道,绕开了困扰投资者直接获取比特币、以太坊等加密货币的各类技术、合规的门槛,如私钥管理、税务、法币出入金等,从而吸引数万亿美金的资金进入加密货币市场。

和当前金融市场上已有的各类产品相比,美国 SEC 批准的比特币现货 ETF 为什么那么重要?主要有两个原因:

触达更大的资金面:

· 更多的投资者。美国是最大的金融市场之一,比特币现货 ETF 上架在主流交易所,能够同时触达合格投资者、机构投资者和零售投资者。而 GBTC 等信托结构的产品只能在 OTC 市场供合格投资者交易,同类的比特币现货 ETF 产品在欧洲、加拿大等地区的交易所交易,相比美国市场,流动性更差,资金体量更小。

· 更广阔的投资渠道。传统资产管理部门,如各类基金经理、财务顾问等在没有比特币现货 ETF 的情况下很难将加密资产纳入他们的投资组合中。

更好的接受度:

· 由 Blackrock,Fidelity 等机构发行的比特币现货 ETF 产品,会由于这些机构的品牌背书更容易被主流资金接受

· 解决了加密资产的合规问题;这类产品会有更高的合规清晰度,吸引更多的投资和相关生态的建设

美国作为最大的资本市场,若比特币现货 ETF 得到通过,将会为加密资产市场带来巨大的影响,这些影响不仅仅是更广阔的资金来源流入,还会关系到全球各个比特币网络相关参与方的合规化,以及对比特币网络活动的变化。我们会持续观察这些资产合规化对加密资产的影响,期待加密资产塑造新一代的资本市场。

Russian Suspected of Stealing Cryptocurrency from Cold Wallet Worth Almost 10 Million Rubles

Russian authorities are investigating a suspect accused of stealing nearly 10 million rubles worth of cryptocurrency from a cold wallet. According to investigators, the wallet belonged to an unnamed commercial company executive's assistant. In March, the suspect allegedly gained access to the victim's wallet by "an unidentified method" and transferred the digital assets to another address. During a search of the suspect's home, police seized three computers and three mobile phones for forensic examination, as they may contain important digital evidence. The case is being investigated as grand larceny under the Russian Criminal Code, carrying a potential sentence of up to ten years in prison. Police are also checking the suspect's possible involvement in other cryptocurrency thefts and identifying potential accomplices. The article notes that while cold wallets (hardware wallets storing private keys offline) are considered more secure against remote hacking, they remain vulnerable if a perpetrator gains physical or direct access to the keys. In a related case earlier in June, a court in Tomsk sentenced two men to 8 and 9.5 years in a strict-regime colony for a robbery and cryptocurrency theft. They forced an acquaintance at knifepoint to log into a crypto exchange account and transfer over 85 bitcoins, valued at approximately $5.1 million at the time.

Bitwise Names Three Mistakes Investors Make When Assessing the Cryptocurrency Market

Bitwise's chief investment officer, Matt Hougan, identifies three common mistakes investors make when evaluating the cryptocurrency market, all stemming from a disconnect between its current perception and potential evolution. First, investors often view crypto applications like Uniswap or Aave solely through the lens of the $2 trillion crypto market. However, with the tokenization of traditional assets (like $150 trillion in equities and $350 trillion in bonds), the potential market for these platforms could become 100 times larger. Second, there's an underestimation of crypto-native companies. Despite entry by major financial firms (e.g., PayPal in stablecoins, Fidelity in custody), native players like Tether, Circle, and Coinbase retain dominant market shares due to speed, focus, and established user bases (though exceptions like BlackRock's Bitcoin ETF success exist). Third, future blockchain transaction volumes are underestimated. Tokenized securities could trade 24/7, not just 33 hours per week, and the rise of AI agents managing portfolios could increase transaction activity by 50-100 times. Hougan concludes that investors assess the sector based on its present state while the underlying infrastructure is rapidly changing through tokenization, expanding use cases, and increased operational scale. This gap between current perception and future potential creates significant investment opportunities.

Grayscale Submits Fourth Amendment to Agreement for Zcash Trust, Whose Shares Will Be Listed on the NYSE Arca

Grayscale has submitted a fourth amendment to its S-3 registration form for the Grayscale Zcash Trust, a key step toward converting it into a U.S. exchange-traded fund (ETF) listed on NYSE Arca under the ticker ZCSH. This would be the first U.S. ETF providing regulated stock market access to the privacy-focused cryptocurrency ZEC ($ZEC). The amendment details the creation and redemption of shares, primarily through cash, though authorized participants can create shares in-kind by depositing ZEC. The trust is sponsored by Grayscale Investments, with Coinbase as the prime broker and custodian, and Bank of New York Mellon as administrator. The filing also notes non-binding discussions where Digital Currency Group's DCG International Investments could acquire shares by contributing 200,000 ZEC. A ZEC ETF is seen as a breakthrough due to regulatory caution around privacy-enhancing tokens. Following the filing, ZEC's price rose over 9% in 24 hours. Demand for the existing trust product has grown, with its average daily trading volume doubling from March to April, and shielded ZEC balances reaching a record ~30% of the circulating supply. Despite this momentum, Zcash has faced challenges in 2026, including a vulnerability discovered in its shielded Orchard pool that briefly caused its price to drop significantly. Developers quickly patched the issue. A regulated ETF would offer traditional investors exposure to this dual-faceted privacy asset.

What is $BITCOIN

DIGITAL GOLD ($BITCOIN): A Comprehensive Analysis Introduction to DIGITAL GOLD ($BITCOIN) DIGITAL GOLD ($BITCOIN) is a blockchain-based project operating on the Solana network, which aims to combine the characteristics of traditional precious metals with the innovation of decentralized technologies. While it shares a name with Bitcoin, often referred to as “digital gold” due to its perception as a store of value, DIGITAL GOLD is a separate token designed to create a unique ecosystem within the Web3 landscape. Its goal is to position itself as a viable alternative digital asset, although specifics regarding its applications and functionalities are still developing. What is DIGITAL GOLD ($BITCOIN)? DIGITAL GOLD ($BITCOIN) is a cryptocurrency token explicitly designed for use on the Solana blockchain. In contrast to Bitcoin, which provides a widely recognized value storage role, this token appears to focus on broader applications and characteristics. Notable aspects include: Blockchain Infrastructure: The token is built on the Solana blockchain, known for its capacity to handle high-speed and low-cost transactions. Supply Dynamics: DIGITAL GOLD has a maximum supply capped at 100 quadrillion tokens (100P $BITCOIN), although details regarding its circulating supply are currently undisclosed. Utility: While precise functionalities are not explicitly outlined, there are indications that the token could be utilized for various applications, potentially involving decentralized applications (dApps) or asset tokenization strategies. Who is the Creator of DIGITAL GOLD ($BITCOIN)? At present, the identity of the creators and development team behind DIGITAL GOLD ($BITCOIN) remains unknown. This situation is typical among many innovative projects within the blockchain space, particularly those aligning with decentralized finance and meme coin phenomena. While such anonymity may foster a community-driven culture, it intensifies concerns about governance and accountability. Who are the Investors of DIGITAL GOLD ($BITCOIN)? The available information indicates that DIGITAL GOLD ($BITCOIN) does not have any known institutional backers or prominent venture capital investments. The project seems to operate on a peer-to-peer model focused on community support and adoption rather than traditional funding routes. Its activity and liquidity are primarily situated on decentralized exchanges (DEXs), such as PumpSwap, rather than established centralized trading platforms, further highlighting its grassroots approach. How DIGITAL GOLD ($BITCOIN) Works The operational mechanics of DIGITAL GOLD ($BITCOIN) can be elaborated on based on its blockchain design and network attributes: Consensus Mechanism: By leveraging Solana’s unique proof-of-history (PoH) combined with a proof-of-stake (PoS) model, the project ensures efficient transaction validation contributing to the network's high performance. Tokenomics: While specific deflationary mechanisms have not been extensively detailed, the vast maximum token supply implies that it may cater to microtransactions or niche use cases that are still to be defined. Interoperability: There exists the potential for integration with Solana’s broader ecosystem, including various decentralized finance (DeFi) platforms. However, the details regarding specific integrations remain unspecified. Timeline of Key Events Here is a timeline that highlights significant milestones concerning DIGITAL GOLD ($BITCOIN): 2023: The initial deployment of the token occurs on the Solana blockchain, marked by its contract address. 2024: DIGITAL GOLD gains visibility as it becomes available for trading on decentralized exchanges like PumpSwap, allowing users to trade it against SOL. 2025: The project witnesses sporadic trading activity and potential interest in community-led engagements, although no noteworthy partnerships or technical advancements have been documented as of yet. Critical Analysis Strengths Scalability: The underlying Solana infrastructure supports high transaction volumes, which could enhance the utility of $BITCOIN in various transaction scenarios. Accessibility: The potential low trading price per token could attract retail investors, facilitating wider participation due to fractional ownership opportunities. Risks Lack of Transparency: The absence of publicly known backers, developers, or an audit process may yield skepticism regarding the project's sustainability and trustworthiness. Market Volatility: The trading activity is heavily reliant on speculative behavior, which can result in significant price volatility and uncertainty for investors. Conclusion DIGITAL GOLD ($BITCOIN) emerges as an intriguing yet ambiguous project within the rapidly evolving Solana ecosystem. While it attempts to leverage the “digital gold” narrative, its departure from Bitcoin's established role as a store of value underscores the need for a clearer differentiation of its intended utility and governance structure. Future acceptance and adoption will likely depend on addressing the current opacity and defining its operational and economic strategies more explicitly. Note: This report encompasses synthesised information available as of October 2023, and developments may have transpired beyond the research period.
