A British company that has been investing in internet and information businesses is having its best day on record.

一家致力于互联网和信息业务的英国公司迎来了有史以来状态最好的一天。

On-line Plc jumped as much as 394 percent on Friday after announcing plans to change its name to On-line Blockchain Plc, following an initial climb of 19 percent on Thursday when it first announced the news. It’s the biggest one-day gain for the small-cap company since its December 1996 listing. The trading volume that reached 2.9 million shares by early afternoon in London is equal to more than 16 times the entire year’s trading before the last two days.

On-line Plc在宣布将公司名改成Blockchain Plc之后，在持有最初周二19%增长率的基础上，该公司又在周五实现了394%的市值增长。这是公司自从1996年12月成立以来最大的一个盈利日。伦敦午盘时，公司的交易量达到了290万股，相当于两天之前全年交易量的16倍。

“Blockchain technology and cryptocurrencies are a new and exciting area we have been working on for some time,” the Essex-based company said in a statement on Thursday. “We feel the time is right to re-name the company to reflect these developments, where we believe the future growth will be in our sector.”

“Blockchain技术和加密货币是一个我们一直在努力研究的令人兴奋的新兴领域，”一家位于Essex的公司在周四的一份声明中如此表示。“我们认为现在正是更改公司名的好时机，这个名字同时也能够反映出这个我们认为将引领未来发展方向的新技术。”

The shares pared gains after the company published a follow-up release on Friday, cautioning investors that the development of its blockchain product is still at an early stage. Still, the 238 percent rise as of 2:36 p.m. in London leaves the company’s market value of 4.4 million pounds ($5.8 million) at its highest since 2005.

然而在公司周五的后续报道发布之后，股价又回吐了涨幅，同时这也是对投资者们的提醒：blockchain产品任然处于发展的起步阶段。即便如此，该公司截止到伦敦时间下午2：36分仍然保持了238%的涨幅，且达到公司自2005年以来最高440万英镑（580万美元）的市值。
 

This isn’t the first time that investors have gotten excited about a name. Shares in Colorado-based Bioptix Inc. nearly doubled in value in the days leading up to its name change to Riot Blockchain Inc. earlier this month. In what seems to be a case of mistaken identity, a New York-based startup called SNAP Interactive Inc. jumped more than 150 percent in the days after Snap Inc. filed for a $3 billion initial public offering in February. Little-known SNAP Interactive makes mobile dating apps, while Snap Inc. is the parent of the popular Snapchat photo-sharing app.

值得一提的是，这可不是第一次投资者对改名字感兴奋。位于Colorado的Bioptix Inc 公司也通过将名字改为Riot Blockchain Inc在这个月月初翻倍了股价。但有时，投资者也会将公司身份弄错，比如一家坐落于纽约名为SNAP Interactive Inc的初创公司在Snap公司二月份申请首次公开募股30亿美元IPO后的几天内市值增长了150多个百分点。这家小型知名公司SNAP Interactive主要业务为制作手机约会程序，而Snap Inc则是著名Snapchat图片分享应用的母公司。
