Banks such as Goldman Sachs Group Inc. (NYSE:GS) have been involved in trading cryptocurrency derivatives for years.
高盛集团(Goldman Sachs Group Inc., NYSE:GS)等银行一直参与加密货币衍生品交易多年。
However, stringent regulations have prevented them from directly dealing in the underlying assets.

The Basel Committee on Banking Supervision has proposed that banks must apply a 1.250% risk weighting to any unhedged crypto exposure, creating significant challenges for profit generation in direct cryptocurrency trading.

In an emailed statement, Standard Chartered commented on its strategic move: "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."
渣打银行在一份电子邮件声明中评论了其战略举措：“我们一直在与监管机构密切合作，以支持机构客户对比特币和以太坊的交易需求，这一举措符合我们的战略，即支持更广泛的数字资产生态系统，从访问和托管到令牌化和互操作性。”
