9 月 23 日（路透）——加密貨幣券商 Blockchain.com 週三在新聞稿中表示，紐約證券交易所（New York Stock Exchange）與該公司將共同探索打造在美國上市股票的加密貨幣版本。Sept 23 (Reuters) - The New York Stock Exchange and crypto brokerage Blockchain.com will together explore creating crypto versions of US-listed stocks, Blockchain.com said in a press release on Wednesday.

這項合作是主流證券交易所試圖從代幣化趨勢中獲利的最新例子。所謂代幣化，是指創建以區塊鏈為基礎的代幣，用來代表股票、債券等資產，或與這些資產掛鉤。The partnership is the latest example of a mainstream stock exchange looking to cash in on tokenisation, which is the idea of creating blockchain-based tokens which represent or are pegged to assets such as stocks and bonds.

• Blockchain.com 與紐約證交所宣布建立「策略合作」，探索在區塊鏈上銷售代表紐約證交所上市股票與 ETF 的代幣；區塊鏈是加密貨幣背後的技術。• Blockchain.com and NYSE announced a "strategic collaboration" to explore selling tokens representing NYSE-listed stocks and ETFs on blockchain, the technology behind cryptocurrencies.

• 兩家公司尚未公布這些產品將在哪些國家銷售。• The companies have not yet announced which countries the products will be sold in.

• 兩家公司也簽署資料協議，由紐約證交所母公司洲際交易所（Intercontinental Exchange）分發 Blockchain.com 的加密貨幣市場資料與分析；這家加密貨幣券商則將在其應用程式中使用紐約證交所資料。• The companies also signed a data agreement, with NYSE's parent company Intercontinental Exchange distributing Blockchain.com's crypto market data and analytics, while the crypto brokerage will use NYSE data in its app.

• Blockchain.com 表示：「這是雙方對資本市場走向所下的賭注。」• "It’s a bet by both parties on where capital markets are heading," Blockchain.com said.

• 以區塊鏈為基礎的股票代幣，很少提供買方與傳統股票相同的權利；買方通常也不會成為標的公司的股東，因而引發投資人保護疑慮。• Blockchain-based stock tokens rarely offer buyers the same rights as traditional equities, and the buyer typically does not become a shareholder in the underlying company, raising concerns about investor protection.

• 支持者表示，這類產品讓更多人能買股票，並可在標準市場交易時間以外進行交易。• Proponents say they enable more people to buy stocks and trade them outside of standard market hours.

• 總部位於倫敦與達拉斯的 Blockchain.com，已開始向歐洲客戶銷售代幣化股票，但該公司一名發言人拒絕說明已有多少客戶購買。• Blockchain.com, based in London and Dallas, has already started selling tokenised stocks to customers in Europe, but a spokesperson for the company declined to comment on how many customers had bought them.

• 美國證券交易委員會（SEC）公布一項豁免，將允許平台銷售以區塊鏈為基礎的股票及其他證券版本，而不必遵守許多適用於證券交易所的規則。• The US Securities and Exchange Commission unveiled an exemption that will allow platforms to sell blockchain-based versions of stocks and other securities, without having to follow many of the rules that apply to stock exchanges.
