现在的年轻人都喜欢投资这种股票，Netflix早已经不香了
一家以股票形式提供加密货币的纽约公司Grayscale Investments在周一宣布，监管机构已经批准其向公众出售两种新的加密货币股票。
其中一只新上市的股票是代表莱特币（Litecoin）的股票，莱特币是一种继比特币之后最古老的加密货币之一；另一只股票是比特币现金（Bitcoin Cash），这是于2017年推出的一种颇具争议的比特币衍生产品。Coinmarketcap的数据显示，按市值计算，它们分别是第八和第五大加密货币。这些新股将以LTCN和BCHG的代码交易，在未来两到四周内向公众开放。
虽然加密货币爱好者通常会直接在比特币公司Coinbase或币安网等专用加密交易所购买莱特币和其他数字货币，但Grayscale却发现了一个以股票形式销售的细分市场。
Grayscale的加密产品相当于持有基础资产的信托公司的股份。尽管该公司投资的股票交易价格高于该资产的价格，但它们仍受到了一些关注直接投资比特币和其他加密资产的机构投资者的青睐。
与此同时，Grayscale的股票，尤其是比特币，在像Robinhood这样的应用程序上收获了年轻一代投资者的细分市场。事实上，嘉信理财（Charles Schwab）在去年12月曾报告称，比特币股票是年轻一代持有的前五大股票之一，领先于Netflix等股票。
Grayscale的董事总经理迈克尔•索南辛说：“公司构建了在现有监管框架内运作的投资产品。随着另外两款产品获得公开交易的批准，我们正在为扩大投资者而拓宽对数字货币资产类别的接触。”
新的莱特币和比特币现金存量让公众可以获得的加密货币总数达到6种。其他股票也由Grayscale投资打包，代表比特币、以太坊、以太坊经典以及不同货币的混合股票。
更广泛地说，Grayscale已经发展出一种有利可图的做法，那就是将其信托公司的股票出售给达到标准的投资者。这些投资者最初被禁止向公众转售这些股票，但只要监管机构批准这样做，他们通常能够获得可观的利润。（财富中文网）

Grayscale Investments, a New York firm that makes cryptocurrencies available in the form of stocks, announced on Monday that regulators have given the go-ahead for the sale of two new cryptocurrencies to the public.
One of the newly listed stocks will represent shares of Litecoin, one of the oldest cryptocurrencies after Bitcoin, and the other is Bitcoin Cash, a controversial spinoff to Bitcoin launched in 2017. They are respectively the eighth and fifth biggest cryptocurrencies by market cap, according to Coinmarketcap. The new stocks, which will trade under the symbols LTCN and BCHG, will be available to the general public in the next two to four weeks.
While cryptocurrency enthusiasts typically purchase Litecoin and other digital currencies directly on dedicated crypto exchanges like Coinbase or Binance, Grayscale has found a niche selling them in the forms of shares.
The Grayscale crypto products amount to shares in a trust that holds the underlying asset. Even though the Grayscale shares trade at a premium to the price of the asset, they have found favor with some institutional investors concerned about investing in Bitcoin and other crypto assets directly.
Meanwhile, Grayscale stocks—especially Bitcoin—have found a niche with millennial investors on apps like Robinhood. Indeed, Charles Schwab reported in December that the Bitcoin stock, which trades under the symbol GBTC, was one of the top five equities held by millennials—ahead of stocks like Netflix.
“Grayscale builds investment products that operate within existing regulatory frameworks. With two additional products gaining approval for public trading, we’re broadening access for investors to gain exposure to the digital currency asset class,” said Grayscale’s managing director, Michael Sonnenshein in a statement.
The new Litecoin and Bitcoin Cash stocks bring to six the total number of cryptocurrencies available to the public as shares. The other stocks, also packaged by Grayscale, represent shares of Bitcoin, Ethereum, Ethereum Classic, and a blend of different currencies.
More broadly, Grayscale has developed a lucrative practice selling shares of its trusts to accredited investors. Those investors are initially barred from reselling those shares to the public, but once regulators grant a green light to do so, they are typically able to make a considerable profit.
