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.
比特币（加密货币：BTC）交易所交易产品（ETP）已开始在伦敦证券交易所交易，这标志着英国采用加密货币的重要里程碑。
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.
发生了什么：《比特币杂志》周二报道，在获得英国金融行为监管局的批准后，首批比特币交易所交易产品（ETP）已开始在伦敦证券交易所交易。
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.
资产管理公司WisdomTree和21Shares今天都在伦敦证券交易所上市了比特币ETP。上周，英国金融行为管理局批准了比特币ETN的上市，为今天的推出铺平了道路。
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推出了两种比特币产品：21Shares比特币ETN（ABTC）和21Shares比特币核心ETN（CBTC）。同时，WisdomTree推出了其物理比特币ETN（BTCW）。所有这些ETN都提供了比特币价格的敞口。
Currently, these ETNs are accessible only to professional investors under FCA regulations.
目前，根据英国金融行为管理局的规定，这些ETN仅适用于专业投资者。
"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英国负责人亚历克斯·波拉克表示：“但是英国的游戏规则将是零售禁令的解除；目前禁止交易比特币和以太币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.
今天的推出标志着比特币的采用以及伦敦成为数字资产中心的雄心壮志迈出的重要一步。美国、欧洲和香港等其他主要金融中心已经提供受监管的比特币基金，这推动了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联合创始人奥菲莉亚·斯奈德强调说：“英国是世界上最深入、流动性最高的资本市场之一。”
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.
英国金融行为管理局正在采取分阶段开放市场的方法，允许专业投资者首次在伦敦证券交易所获得加密资产的监管敞口。
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.
为何重要：伦敦证券交易所推出比特币ETP是加密货币主流化的重要一步。分析师称赞比特币ETF是历史上最成功的发行之一。这种情绪凸显了投资者对受监管的加密投资工具的兴趣与日俱增。

此前，伦敦证券交易所对比特币和以太币的未来下了3万亿美元的战略押注，这凸显了该交易所将数字货币整合到其运营中的承诺。
