发生了什么：在路透社的NeXT活动中，所罗门表示，从监管的角度来看，该公司参与比特币（加密货币：BTC）和以太坊（加密货币：ETH）现货交易的能力 “极其有限”。
"You have to ask regulators because, at the moment, as a regulated banking institution, and I think you know this, we're not allowed to own a cryptocurrency like Bitcoin as a principal," the CEO said.
首席执行官说：“你必须询问监管机构，因为目前，作为一家受监管的银行机构，我想你知道这一点，我们不允许拥有像比特币这样的加密货币作为本金。”

所罗门承认了更广泛的观点，即即将上任的唐纳德·特朗普政府中数字资产的监管框架可能会发生变化，但他补充说，目前尚不清楚 “不清楚” 它将如何演变。
However, he said that if the regulatory framework changes, the firm would "evaluate" making markets in Bitcoin and Ethereum.

"If, from a regulatory perspective, we were allowed to interact in these assets, we have a pretty big infrastructure."
“如果从监管的角度来看，允许我们在这些资产中进行互动，那么我们就有了相当大的基础设施。”
