马特·霍尔丹报道:Coinbase Global正通过拓展对传统金融机构的服务来受益于加密货币在机构领域的日益普及。随着越来越多的银行开始提供自己的数字资产服务,这家美国最大的加密货币交易平台正在为这些机构提供基础设施支持,同时也在不断优化自身的核心服务。Coinbase机构业务部门负责人莉兹·马丁在新加坡接受采访时说道:“我们在机构经纪业务方面看到了快速增长——这可能是我们业务中发展最快的领域之一。”
Global Inc. is seeking to benefit from growing institutional adoption of cryptocurrencies by broadening its services for traditional financial firms. As banks increasingly offer their own digital-asset services, the largest US crypto exchange is operating as the infrastructure provider to those institutions while also building up its prime offerings, Liz Martin, head of Coinbase Institutional, said in an interview in Singapore. “We’ve seen really rapid growth” in prime brokerage, Martin said. “It’s probably one of the fastest growing areas of our business.”
其他加密货币公司也在积极扩展其机构经纪服务(即为机构客户提供交易、托管、融资和结算等一站式服务)。例如,BNY Mellon、DBS银行和美国银行都已提供加密货币托管服务,德意志银行上个月也宣布了推出此类服务的计划。
Other crypto firms have recently been expanding their prime brokerages — a bundling of trading, custody, financing and settlement for institutions — as traditional finance has moved into crypto. BNY Mellon, DBS Bank and U.S. Bank all offer crypto custody services, while Deutsche Bank announced plans to launch one last month.
马丁认为,Coinbase在同时提供交易服务和基础设施支持方面不存在冲突;她表示,传统金融领域的更多参与对双方都有利。“这两者的发展都源于同一个推动力:即机构对加密货币的接受度不断提高,以及他们希望将更多金融服务搬到区块链上的需求。”
Martin suggested there is no conflict for Coinbase given its dual role in offering trading and infrastructure services. Greater participation from traditional finance benefits both, she said. “They’re both fueled by the same thing, which is institutional adoption of crypto and a desire to put more financial services onchain,” Martin said.
周四,Coinbase宣布将通过其机构服务平台“Coinbase Prime”为Circle Internet Group的USDC稳定币提供托管服务。USDC将成为三星电子支付服务用户的默认美元稳定币,预计该服务将于本月月底在美国上线,从而将Coinbase的托管服务扩展到另一个消费应用中。
The company announced Thursday that it would custody balances of Circle Internet Group’s USDC stablecoin in Samsung Wallet through Coinbase Prime, its institutional platform. USDC will be the default dollar stablecoin for users of the Samsung Electronics payment service, with a rollout in the US expected by the end of the month, extending Coinbase’s custody service into another consumer application.
周三,Coinbase还宣布已完成与Deribit平台的整合,并计划将美国的国际加密货币衍生品市场连接到一个统一的流动性池中。
On Wednesday, it said it had completed the integration of Deribit and would soon connect its US and international crypto-derivatives markets in a single liquidity pool.
币安去年收购了Deribit,以期缩小与海外竞争对手(如币安控股和OKX)在服务上的差距。据该公司介绍,期权将在未来几周通过Prime平台上线,美国零售用户的访问计划则定于今年晚些时候推出。
Coinbase acquired Deribit last year in an effort to close a services gap with offshore rivals such as Binance Holdings and OKX. Options will be available through Prime in the coming weeks, with US retail access planned for later this year, according to the company.
今年在新加坡举行的Token2049大会(全球最大的加密货币活动之一)的相关 announcements 凸显了Coinbase构建“全能交易所”以及吸引更专业交易者的努力。Coinbase计划于年底推出重构后的Coinbase Pro平台。
The announcements around this year’s Token2049 conference in Singapore, one of the largest crypto events in the world, illustrate Coinbase’s effort to build an “everything exchange” and attract more sophisticated traders. The launch of a rebuilt Coinbase Pro platform is planned by year-end.
这次扩张在上个月美国关于Clarity法案(该公司曾大力支持的一项加密货币监管法案)的投票未通过后遭遇了挫折。
The expansion comes despite a setback last month from a failed vote in the US on the Clarity Act, a crypto regulation bill the company had championed.
参议院未能推进该法案后不久,SEC颁发了为期五年的豁免令,允许代币化股票在美国交易。Martin表示,Coinbase尚未确定这些产品在美国的上市日期。
Days after the Senate failed to advance the bill, the SEC issued a five-year exemption allowing tokenized stocks to trade in the US. Martin said Coinbase has no launch date for such products in the US.
被问及Clarity法案的进展受挫是否影响明年的优先事项时,Martin表示公司的计划“没有变化”。
Asked whether the Clarity Act’s stalled progress had affected next year’s priorities, Martin said there was “no change” to the company’s plans.
海外扩张仍然是战略的一部分,Coinbase正寻求吸引更多非美国地区的专业交易者。
Overseas expansion remains part of the strategy, with Coinbase looking to attract more professional traders outside the US.
“那是APAC地区一个非常深厚、非常专业的群体,”她说。“我们刚刚在新加坡开设了新的办事处,因此我们正在该地区进行大量投资。”
“That’s a deep, deep group in APAC overall,” she said. “We’ve just opened our new office in Singapore, so we’re making big investments there.”
