高盛(Goldman Sachs)在《Business Insider》于7月6日獲得的一篇報告中表示,以太坊(Ethereum)可能超越比特幣(Bitcoin)成為主流加密貨幣。
高盛在報告中稱,以太幣“目前看來是最有實際應(yīng)用潛力的加密貨幣,因為其平臺以太坊是最受歡迎的智能合約應(yīng)用開發(fā)平臺。以太幣是該平臺的原生數(shù)字貨幣。”
高盛此前曾經(jīng)在5月發(fā)表過一篇報告,討論了加密貨幣作為一種資產(chǎn)類別的潛力。
隨著比特幣受到更多主流投資者的追捧,越來越多美國銀行開始接受比特幣,但以太幣的采用率增長較為緩慢。摩根士丹利(Morgan Stanley)是最早開始提供比特幣基金的銀行之一,高盛則在3月表示其正在開發(fā)比特幣投資業(yè)務(wù)。
雖然高盛認(rèn)為以太幣最終將超越比特幣,但它在報告中表示,由于加密貨幣的波動性,這兩種加密貨幣都不會在短期內(nèi)取代黃金,成為最普遍的保值工具。
這份報告稱,黃金等商品能夠抵御惡性通脹的影響,但高盛認(rèn)為加密貨幣更多的是一種“高風(fēng)險通脹對沖”。高盛表示,這類對沖存在風(fēng)險。
報告稱:“加密貨幣之間存在競爭,這是當(dāng)前階段阻礙其成為避險資產(chǎn)的另外一個風(fēng)險因素。”(財富中文網(wǎng))

Ethereum could overtake Bitcoin as the dominant cryptocurrency, Goldman Sachs said in a July 6 note obtained by Business Insider.
The bank said in the note that Ether "currently looks like the cryptocurrency with the highest real use potential as Ethereum, the platform on which it is the native digital currency, is the most popular development platform for smart contract applications.”
The endorsement comes after Goldman Sachs published a report in May discussing crypto’s potential as an asset class.
U.S. banks have increasingly begun to accept Bitcoin as it gains traction with more mainstream investors but have been slower to adopt Ether. Morgan Stanley was one of the first banks to offer Bitcoin funds, and Goldman Sachs said in March it was developing cryptocurrency investments as well.
But, even if Goldman thinks Ether could overtake Bitcoin eventually, neither cryptocurrency will soon replace gold as the most common store of value because of volatility, Goldman said in the note.
Some commodities like gold are hedges against bad inflation, the Goldman note explained, while cryptocurrencies for the bank are seen as more of a “risk-on inflation hedge.” With this type of hedge, comes risks, the bank said.
"This competition among cryptocurrencies is another risk factor that prevents them from becoming safehaven assets at this stage," Goldman said in the note
