川普和哈里斯發出支持訊號，比特幣創歷史新高，山寨幣大漲

許多產品的價格都在顯著上漲，有時會達到或超過兩位數的百分比漲幅。實用代幣 Aptos (APT 3.98%) 上漲略高於 10%。

Altcoins were trading briskly and healthily on Tuesday, as news emerged that the leading and foundational cryptocurrency was teasing a fresh all-time high.

週二，隨著有消息稱這種領先的基礎加密貨幣正在創下新的歷史新高，山寨幣的交易活躍且健康。

The prices of several were rising noticeably, at times edging into or exceeding double-digit percentage gains. Utility token Aptos (APT 3.98%) was up by slightly over 10%. Fellow utility crypto Chainlink (LINK 4.46%) was enjoying a more than 5% gain, ditto for meme token Shiba Inu (SHIB 4.92%). Slightly behind its peers was Bitcoin Cash (BCH 0.34%), with a sub-5% rise.

一些產品的價格明顯上漲，有時接近或超過兩位數的百分比漲幅。實用代幣 Aptos (APT 3.98%) 上漲略高於 10%。公用事業加密貨幣 Chainlink (LINK 4.46%) 的漲幅超過 5%，meme 代幣 Shiba Inu (SHIB 4.92%) 也是如此。比特幣現金（BCH 0.34%）略落後同行，漲幅低於 5%。

Politics of crypto

加密政治

Unless there is some specific proprietary news that swims against the tide of that day's general sentiment on its fortunes, the cryptoverse tends to trade in line with its unquestioned leader, Bitcoin (BTC 1.78%).

除非有一些特定的專有新聞與當天對其命運的整體情緒背道而馳，否則加密世界的交易往往與其無可爭議的領導者比特幣（BTC 1.78％）一致。

Happily for holders of altcoins, Bitcoin was doing gangbusters on the second trading day of the week. The previous night, its price crossed what market wags like to call an "important psychological barrier," -- i.e., a nice round number -- in this case, $70,000. It kept going, to the point where it was trading at just under $72,400 early Tuesday evening. That's barely over $1,000 shy of its all-time high; keep in mind that it's been in existence since 2009.

對於山寨幣持有者來說，令人高興的是，比特幣在本週的第二個交易日表現強勁。前一天晚上，它的價格突破了市場人士所謂的「重要心理障礙」——即一個不錯的整數——在本例中為 70,000 美元。它繼續上漲，直到週二晚間早些時候交易價格略低於 72,400 美元。這距離歷史最高點僅差 1,000 多美元；請記住，它自 2009 年以來就已經存在。

Why the rush into Bitcoin and, consequently, altcoins? Lately, there seems to be a significant trend driving this. It's the market's increasing belief that both Donald Trump and Kamala Harris will support the crypto industry if elected. It's rare that an industry lands in such a position; usually, it counts on either benefiting from laissez-faire policies typical of Republicans or suffering from the increased regulatory scrutiny stereotypical of Democrats.

為什麼人們熱衷於比特幣以及山寨幣？最近，似乎有一個顯著的趨勢推動了這一趨勢。市場越來越相信唐納德·川普和卡馬拉·哈里斯如果當選都會支持加密貨幣產業。一個行業處於這樣的地位是很少見的。通常，它指望要么受益於共和黨典型的自由放任政策，要么遭受民主黨典型的加強監管審查。

Yet both presidential aspirants have signaled quite strongly that they're supportive of digital coins and tokens.

然而，兩位總統候選人都強烈表示他們支持數位硬幣和代幣。

Of the two individuals, Trump is the more overt about this -- he's even drafted a noted crypto lover, Tesla, as a big player in his campaign, and vice-presidential candidate J.D. Vance is an active investor and advocate. Meanwhile, his opponent even held a Crypto4Harris rally, although she personally did not appear (Senate majority leader Chuck Schumer attended in her stead).

在這兩個人中，川普對此表現得更為公開——他甚至任命了著名的加密貨幣愛好者特斯拉作為競選活動的重要參與者，而副總統候選人JD Vance 則是一位積極的投資者和倡導者。與此同時，他的對手甚至舉行了 Crypto4Harris 集會，儘管她本人沒有出席（參議院多數黨領袖查克·舒默代替她出席）。

Talk is cheap

說話很便宜

This affects Bitcoin directly, as it continues to be a proxy for cryptocurrencies generally. Yet a crypto-friendly policy is sure to benefit all manner of coins and tokens, hence the bullishness for many flavors of coins and tokens lately.

這直接影響比特幣，因為它仍然是加密貨幣的代表。然而，對加密貨幣友善的政策肯定會讓各種硬幣和代幣受益，因此最近許多種類的硬幣和代幣都被看好。

However, investors shouldn't take for granted that either Trump or Harris will be lenient on crypto assets. Scandals have erupted in the sector in the recent past, and it's likely more will occur before long. When that happens many people call for stricter oversight, and regulators have indicated that they're willing to aid in that effort.

然而，投資人不應想當然地認為川普或哈里斯會對加密資產採取寬容態度。該行業最近爆發了醜聞，而且不久之後可能還會發生更多醜聞。當這種情況發生時，許多人要求加強監管，監管機構也表示願意提供協助。
