• Austria’s Financial Market Authority (FMA) and Germany’s BaFin both oversee Bitpanda.

奧地利金融市場管理局 (FMA) 和德國 BaFin 均監管 Bitpanda。

• Bitpanda, a crypto exchange, signed a memorandum of intent with the bank earlier this year.

加密貨幣交易所 Bitpanda 今年稍早與該銀行簽署了一份意向備忘錄。

By January 2024 end, Austria-based Raiffeisen Bank plans to provide retail clients trading services in cryptocurrencies. Bitpanda, a crypto exchange, signed a memorandum of intent with the bank earlier this year, and the duo will work together to deliver the service to consumers in Vienna.

到 2024 年 1 月末，奧地利 Raiffeisen 銀行計劃為零售客戶提供加密貨幣交易服務。加密貨幣交易所 Bitpanda 今年稍早與該銀行簽署了一份意向備忘錄，雙方將共同努力為維也納的消費者提供該服務。

Curt Chadha, the bank’s head of innovation stated:

該銀行創新主管 Curt Chadha 表示：

“We are starting in Vienna where about a quarter of Austria’s population lives.” 

“我們從維也納開始，那裡居住著奧地利大約四分之一的人口。”

Targeting Retail Clients

瞄準零售客戶

Bitpanda’s services, including the trading of more than 250 different cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin and Ethereum, would be made available to the bank’s clients as a result of the agreement.

根據協議，該銀行的客戶將可以使用 Bitpanda 的服務，包括比特幣和以太坊等 250 多種不同加密貨幣的交易。

With $215 billion in assets and 17.8 million clients in the EU and Eastern Europe, the bank’s decision is another indication that crypto adoption is picking up steam, especially in regions where regulatory clarity is developing.

該銀行在歐盟和東歐擁有 2,150 億美元的資產和 1,780 萬客戶，決定再次表明加密貨幣的採用正在加速，尤其是在監管日益明確的地區。

Chadha further added:

查達進一步補充：

“The customer can use their mobile device to enter Bitpanda through the Raiffeisen app. The experience will be familiar, so confirming a trade will work exactly like an account-to-account bank transfer with the same security customers are used to.”

「客戶可以使用他們的行動裝置透過 Raiffeisen 應用程式進入 Bitpanda。這種體驗將會很熟悉，因此確認交易的方式將與帳戶到帳戶的銀行轉帳完全一樣，並且具有客戶習慣的相同安全性。”

According to Chadha, unlike the products of other banks, which are geared at affluent people with millions to invest, this service is designed for clients who are digitally adept but may only wish to make a little contribution.

Chadha 表示，與其他銀行的產品不同，其他銀行的產品面向擁有數百萬美元投資的富裕人群，這項服務是為精通數位技術但可能只想做出一點貢獻的客戶而設計的。

Austria’s Financial Market Authority (FMA) and Germany’s BaFin both oversee Bitpanda, a company created in Vienna in 2014 that allows businesses to provide regulated trading, investing, and custody services for various assets including cryptocurrencies.

奧地利金融市場管理局 (FMA) 和德國 BaFin 均監管 Bitpanda，該公司於 2014 年在維也納成立，允許企業為包括加密貨幣在內的各種資產提供受監管的交易、投資和託管服務。

In 2020, the global Raiffeisen bank began building a blockchain-based platform for the tokenization of national currency. The bank’s trade finance experiments using R3’s Marco Polo blockchain network are additional evidence of its dedication to innovation.

2020 年，全球 Raiffeisen 銀行開始建立基於區塊鏈的國家貨幣代幣化平台。該銀行使用 R3 的馬可波羅區塊鏈網路進行的貿易融資實驗進一步證明了其致力於創新。
