First Bitcoin ETPs Begin Trading On London Stock Exchange
Bitcoin (CRYPTO: BTC) exchange-traded products (ETPs) have commenced trading on the London Stock Exchange, marking a significant milestone for cryptocurrency adoption in the U.K.
比特幣（加密貨幣：BTC）交易所交易產品（ETP）已開始在倫敦證券交易所交易，這標誌着英國採用加密貨幣的重要里程碑。
What Happened: The first bitcoin exchange-traded products (ETPs) have started trading on the London Stock Exchange after receiving approval from the UK's Financial Conduct Authority, Bitcoin Magazine reported on Tuesday.
發生了什麼：《比特幣雜誌》週二報道，在獲得英國金融行爲監管局的批准後，首批比特幣交易所交易產品（ETP）已開始在倫敦證券交易所交易。
Asset managers WisdomTree and 21Shares both listed bitcoin ETPs on the LSE today. Last week, the FCA granted approval for Bitcoin ETNs to be listed, paving the way for today's launch.
資產管理公司WisdomTree和21Shares今天都在倫敦證券交易所上市了比特幣ETP。上週，英國金融行爲管理局批准了比特幣ETN的上市，爲今天的推出鋪平了道路。
21Shares introduced two Bitcoin products: the 21Shares Bitcoin ETN (ABTC) and 21Shares Bitcoin Core ETN (CBTC). Meanwhile, WisdomTree launched its Physical Bitcoin ETN (BTCW). All these ETNs offer exposure to Bitcoin's price.
21Shares推出了兩種比特幣產品：21Shares比特幣ETN（ABTC）和21Shares比特幣核心ETN（CBTC）。同時，WisdomTree推出了其物理比特幣ETN（BTCW）。所有這些ETN都提供了比特幣價格的敞口。
Currently, these ETNs are accessible only to professional investors under FCA regulations.
目前，根據英國金融行爲管理局的規定，這些ETN僅適用於專業投資者。
"But the game-changer in the U.K. will be when the retail ban is lifted; there is a retail ban on trading bitcoin and ether ETNs at the moment," said Alex Pollak, head of U.K. for 21Shares.
21Shares英國負責人亞歷克斯·波拉克表示：“但是英國的遊戲規則將是零售禁令的解除；目前禁止交易比特幣和以太幣ETN的零售禁令。”
Today's launch marks a significant step for Bitcoin adoption and London's ambitions to be a digital asset hub. Other major financial centers like the US, Europe, and Hong Kong already offer regulated bitcoin funds, pushing the FCA to keep pace.
今天的推出標誌着比特幣的採用以及倫敦成爲數字資產中心的雄心壯志邁出的重要一步。美國、歐洲和香港等其他主要金融中心已經提供受監管的比特幣基金，這推動了FCA的步伐。
21Shares co-founder Ophelia Snyder highlighted, "The U.K. is one of the deepest, most liquid capital markets in the world."
21Shares聯合創始人奧菲莉亞·斯奈德強調說：“英國是世界上最深入、流動性最高的資本市場之一。”
The FCA is adopting a phased approach to market opening, allowing professional investors to gain regulated exposure to crypto assets on the LSE for the first time.
英國金融行爲管理局正在採取分階段開放市場的方法，允許專業投資者首次在倫敦證券交易所獲得加密資產的監管敞口。
Why It Matters: The introduction of bitcoin ETPs on the LSE is a significant step in the mainstreaming of cryptocurrencies. Analysts have hailed Bitcoin ETFs as some of the most successful launches in history. This sentiment underscores the growing investor appetite for regulated crypto investment vehicles.
爲何重要：倫敦證券交易所推出比特幣ETP是加密貨幣主流化的重要一步。分析師稱讚比特幣ETF是歷史上最成功的發行之一。這種情緒凸顯了投資者對受監管的加密投資工具的興趣與日俱增。
Earlier, the LSE made a strategic $3 trillion bet on the future of Bitcoin and Ether, highlighting the exchange's commitment to integrating digital currencies into its operations.
此前，倫敦證券交易所對比特幣和以太幣的未來下了3萬億美元的戰略押注，這凸顯了該交易所將數字貨幣整合到其運營中的承諾。
