Goldman Sachs CEO Says Bank Can Consider Bitcoin, Ethereum Spot Trading If Regulations Allow
Solomon acknowledged the broader sentiment that the regulatory framework vis-à-vis digital assets might evolve in the incoming Goldman Sachs Group Inc. (NYSE:GS) CEO David Solomon said on Tuesday that the investment banking giant might explore becoming a spot market maker for leading cryptocurrencies if more regulatory clarity is provided.
高盛集團公司（紐約證券交易所代碼：GS）首席執行官戴維·所羅門週二表示，如果進一步明確監管，這家投資銀行巨頭可能會探索成爲領先加密貨幣的現貨做市商。
What happened: At the Reuters NEXT event, Solomon stated that the firm's ability to participate in spot trading for Bitcoin (CRYPTO: BTC) and Ethereum (CRYPTO: ETH) was "extremely limited" from a regulatory point of view.
發生了什麼：在路透社的NeXT活動中，所羅門表示，從監管的角度來看，該公司參與比特幣（加密貨幣：BTC）和以太幣（加密貨幣：ETH）現貨交易的能力 「極其有限」。
"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.
首席執行官說：「你必須詢問監管機構，因爲目前，作爲一家受監管的銀行機構，我想你知道這一點，我們不允許擁有像比特幣這樣的加密貨幣作爲本金。」
Solomon acknowledged the broader sentiment that the regulatory framework vis-à-vis digital assets might evolve in the incoming Donald Trump administration but added that it's still "unclear" as to how it'd evolve.
所羅門承認了更廣泛的觀點，即即將上任的唐納德·特朗普政府中數字資產的監管框架可能會發生變化，但他補充說，目前尚不清楚 「不清楚」 它將如何演變。
However, he said that if the regulatory framework changes, the firm would "evaluate" making markets in Bitcoin and Ethereum.
但是，他表示，如果監管框架發生變化，該公司將 「評估」 比特幣和以太幣的市場。
"If, from a regulatory perspective, we were allowed to interact in these assets, we have a pretty big infrastructure."
「如果從監管的角度來看，允許我們在這些資產中進行互動，那麼我們就有了相當大的基礎設施。」
