Coinbase Eyes Australian Pension Market With Bitcoin Service Tailored For Self-Managed Funds
In a strategic move to tap into the burgeoning Australian pension market, Coinbase Global Inc. (NASDAQ:COIN) is developing a service tailored to the self-managed pensions sector in Australia.
Coinbase Global Inc.(納斯達克股票代碼:COIN)正在開發一項針對澳大利亞自我管理的養老金行業量身定製的服務,這是一項進入蓬勃發展的澳大利亞養老金市場的戰略舉措。
What Happened: Coinbase, the largest cryptocurrency exchange in the U.S., is focusing on the self-managed pensions sector in Australia, a market that constitutes about a quarter of the country's $2.5 trillion pension system. The sector currently has approximately A$1 billion ($664 million) invested in cryptocurrencies, Bloomberg reported on Wednesday.
發生了什麼:美國最大的加密貨幣交易所Coinbase專注於澳大利亞自我管理的養老金行業,該市場約佔該國2.5萬億美元養老金體系的四分之一。彭博社週三報道,該行業目前在加密貨幣上投資了約10億澳元(6.64億美元)。
John O'Loghlen, Coinbase's Managing Director for Asia-Pacific, revealed that the exchange is tailoring a service to cater to these clients, who often make a single allocation and leave it untouched. This move comes as Bitcoin's (CRYPTO: BTC) price has surged by around 45% this year following the launch of ETFs.
Coinbase亞太區董事總經理約翰·奧洛格倫透露,該交易所正在量身定製一項服務以迎合這些客戶,這些客戶通常進行一次性配置,保持不變。此舉是在ETF推出後,比特幣(加密貨幣:BTC)的價格今年飆升了約45%之際採取的。
"Self-managed super funds might just make a single allocation and set it and forget it," said O'Loghlen. "We are working on an offering to service those clients really well on a one-off basis — to have them trade with us and stay with us."
奧洛格倫說:“自我管理的超級基金可能只進行一次配置然後設定就算了。”“我們正在努力提供一次性爲這些客戶提供非常好的服務——讓他們與我們進行交易並留在我們身邊。”
O'Loghlen, a former employee of Ant Group and Goldman Sachs Group Inc., believes that the recent ETF launches in the U.S. have boosted the crypto market, leading to an all-time high for Bitcoin in March. He predicts that Australia will introduce more crypto ETFs by the end of 2024.
螞蟻集團和高盛集團公司的前僱員奧洛格倫認爲,最近在美國推出的ETF推動了加密市場,使比特幣在3月份創下歷史新高。他預測,到2024年底,澳大利亞將推出更多的加密ETF。
Why It Matters: The move by Coinbase to target the Australian pension sector comes at a time when institutional investors are increasingly considering cryptocurrencies as a viable investment option. Earlier in March, the world's largest pension fund, the Government Pension Investment Fund of Japan, expressed interest in diversifying its portfolio with Bitcoin.
爲何重要:Coinbase瞄準澳大利亞養老金行業的舉動是在機構投資者越來越多地將加密貨幣視爲可行的投資選擇之際採取的。3月初,世界上最大的養老基金日本政府養老金投資基金表示有興趣通過比特幣實現其投資組合的多元化。
Australia's cryptocurrency market has been experiencing significant developments. The Australian Securities Exchange is reportedly set to approve the country's first spot-Bitcoin ETF before the end of 2024. This move is expected to further fuel the growth of the cryptocurrency market in Australia.
澳大利亞的加密貨幣市場一直在經歷重大發展。據報道,澳大利亞證券交易所將在2024年底之前批准該國首個現貨比特幣ETF。預計此舉將進一步推動澳大利亞加密貨幣市場的增長。
Despite the growing interest in cryptocurrencies, there are still concerns about the risks associated with the sector. Financial advisers, such as Michael Houlihan, have cautioned against allocating a significant portion of a portfolio to high-risk assets like cryptocurrencies. "You wouldn't want a significant part of a portfolio in something that's such high risk," he said.
儘管人們對加密貨幣的興趣與日俱增,但仍有人擔心與該行業相關的風險。邁克爾·霍利漢等財務顧問警告說,不要將投資組合的很大一部分分配給加密貨幣等高風險資產。他說:“你不希望將投資組合的很大一部分放在風險如此高的東西中。”
