Grayscale Appoints Wall Street Veteran Peter Mintzberg As New CEO
Crypto asset manager Grayscale has appointed Peter Mintzberg as its new CEO, marking a turning point for the company that once stood at odds with traditional finance.
數字資產管理公司Grayscale任命了Peter Mintzberg爲其新CEO，標誌着這家曾與傳統金融對立的公司迎來了一個轉折點。
What Happened: Mintzberg, who has held senior positions at Goldman Sachs (NYSE:GS) and BlackRock Inc. (NYSE:BLK), brings over two decades of experience in traditional finance to Grayscale, Fortune reported.
據《財富》報道，Mintzberg曾在高盛和貝萊德擔任高級職位，在傳統金融領域擁有二十多年的經驗，他將把這些經驗帶給Grayscale。
His appointment comes at a crucial juncture for the firm, which recently converted its Bitcoin (CRYPTO: BTC) trust into an ETF following a legal victory against the SEC.
他的任命對於Grayscale來說至關重要，該公司最近在與美國證券交易委員會的法律勝利後，將其比特幣信託轉化爲ETF。
However, this success also opened the door to formidable competitors like BlackRock and Fidelity, leading to significant outflows of investor capital from Grayscale's funds.
然而，這一成功也爲貝萊德和富達等強大的競爭對手打開了大門，導致了投資者資金大規模流出Grayscale的基金。
The decision to bring Mintzberg on board reflects Grayscale's strategy to compete with larger financial institutions that have entered the cryptocurrency space.
決定聘請Mintzberg加入的目的是體現Grayscale與已進入加密貨幣領域的更大型金融機構競爭的策略。

Mintzberg's extensive experience in traditional finance is expected to help Grayscale navigate its next phase of growth and address the regulatory challenges that have weighed on the firm.
預計Mintzberg在傳統金融領域的豐富經驗將有助於Grayscale應對下一個增長階段和困擾該公司的監管挑戰。
Bloomberg analyst Eric Balchunas noted that Grayscale sought a leader "without the regulatory baggage" of former CEO Michael Sonnenshein, positioning Mintzberg as the ideal candidate to steer the company through these turbulent times.
彭博分析師埃裏克·巴爾修納斯指出，灰度正在尋求一位「沒有前首席執行官邁克爾·森森海因的監管包袱」的領導者，將明茨伯格定位爲引領公司度過這個動盪時期的理想人選。
Mintzberg's arrival comes as Grayscale expands its product offerings, including the recent launch of its Grayscale Ethereum Trust (OTC:ETHE) and a lower-fee "mini" version of its Grayscale Bitcoin Trust (OTC:GBTC).
在明茨伯格加入之際，灰度正在擴大其產品的範圍，包括最近推出的灰度以太幣信託（OTC:ETHE）和灰度比特幣信託（OTC:GBTC）的低費「迷你」版本。
Despite these developments, Grayscale faces an uphill battle in differentiating itself from competitors like BlackRock and Fidelity, which have leveraged their scale to offer similar products at lower costs.
儘管有這些發展，灰度在區別自己與像貝萊德和富達這樣的競爭對手方面面臨着艱鉅的任務，這些競爭對手利用其規模以更低的成本提供類似的產品。
What's Next: The upcoming Benzinga Future of Digital Assets event on Nov. 19 will provide a platform for industry leaders and analysts to discuss the implications of Grayscale's leadership change and the broader trends shaping the digital asset market.
接下來：11月19日的Benzinga數字資產未來活動將爲行業領導者和分析師提供一個討論灰度領導層變革及塑造數字資產市場更廣泛趨勢的平台。
