1) Approval of Bitcoin ETFs (January 11)

1) 比特幣 ETF 核准（1 月 11 日）

The year began amid growing expectations that the U.S Securities and Exchange Commission would approve the listing of Bitcoin spot Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs) after years of resistance.

今年年初，人們越來越期待美國證券交易委員會在經歷了多年的阻力後將批准比特幣現貨交易所交易基金（ETF）上市。

The announcement finally came on January 11 2024, but not after some drama. Hours ahead of the announcement, the SEC released a tweet declaring the ETFs approved, only for Chairman, Gary Gensler, to claim the organization’s X (Twitter) account had been hacked.

該公告最終於 2024 年 1 月 11 日發布，但並非在發生了一些戲劇性事件之後。在宣布這一消息的幾個小時前，美國證券交易委員會發布了一條推文，宣布ETF 獲得批准，但主席加里·根斯勒(Gary Gensler) 聲稱該組織的X (Twitter) 帳戶遭到黑客攻擊。

When the approval was announced, it came via a notice by SEC Secretary, Vanessa Countryman.

當批准宣佈時，是透過 SEC 秘書 Vanessa Countryman 發出的通知發出的。

“While we approved the listing and trading of certain spot Bitcoin ETP shares today, we did not approve or endorse Bitcoin. Investors should remain cautious about the myriad risks associated with Bitcoin and products whose value is tied to crypto,” said SEC Chair Gary Gensler in a statement.

「雖然我們今天批准了某些現貨比特幣 ETP 股票的上市和交易，但我們並未批准或認可比特幣。投資者應該對與比特幣以及其價值與加密貨幣相關的產品相關的無數風險保持謹慎，」SEC 主席加里·詹斯勒 (Gary Gensler) 在一份聲明中表示。

Below are the 11 approved Bitcoin ETF products:

以下是 11 種核准的比特幣 ETF 產品：

As of December 27 2024, the cumulative net inflow of funds into the products is $35.66 billion, according to SoSo value. Altogether the ETFs hold $106.8 billion in total net assets, which equates to 5.70% of the Bitcoin market cap.

根據SoSo價值，截至2024年12月27日，該產品累計資金淨流入為356.6億美元。這些 ETF 總共持有 1,068 億美元的總淨資產，相當於比特幣市值的 5.70%。

2) The 4th Bitcoin Halving (April 20)

2）比特幣第四次減半（4月20日）

Bitcoin’s 4th halving event was the second biggest moment in crypto in 2024.

比特幣第四次減半事件是 2024 年加密貨幣第二大時刻。

The halvings are designed to happen automatically every 210,000 blocks, which translates to approximately every four years. When a halving occurs, miners see a 50% reduction in the number of bitcoins they receive as a reward for mining and adding blocks to the blockchain.

減半設計為每 210,000 個區塊自動發生一次，相當於大約每四年一次。當減半發生時，礦工收到的比特幣數量會減少 50%，作為挖礦和向區塊鏈添加區塊的獎勵。

Bitcoin had experienced three halving events before:

比特幣先前曾經歷過三起減半事件：

On the same day, Bitcoin witnessed more innovation with the introduction of Runes protocol, a second standard used for creating NFTs on the Bitcoin blockchain.

同一天，隨著 Runes 協議的引入，比特幣見證了更多創新，這是用於在比特幣區塊鏈上創建 NFT 的第二個標準。

Introduced by Casey Rodarmor, the founder of the Ordinal Protocol, Runes proposes a new token standard that simplifies the process of creating fungible (replaceable by an identical item) tokens that can be used and managed on the Bitcoin network.

Runes 由 Ordinal Protocol 的創始人 Casey Rodarmor 提出，提出了一種新的代幣標準，該標準簡化了創建可在比特幣網路上使用和管理的可替代（可被相同物品替換）代幣的過程。

Prior to that, ordinal inscriptions based on the Ordinal Protocol, had become popular among some Bitcoin users with Yuga Labs revealing in March that they made over $16 million (735.7 bitcoin) from the auction of 300 bitcoin NFTs.

在此之前，基於序數協議的序數銘文在一些比特幣用戶中很受歡迎，Yuga Labs 在 3 月透露，他們從拍賣 300 個比特幣 NFT 中賺取了超過 1600 萬美元（735.7 比特幣）。

3) Approval of ETH ETFs (May 23)

3) ETH ETF 核准（5 月 23 日）

The United States Securities Exchange Commission granted accelerated approval to stock exchanges to list and trade shares of Ether ETFs late on May 23 2024 (American time).

美國證券交易委員會於 2024 年 5 月 23 日晚間（美國時間）加速批准證券交易所上市和交易以太坊 ETF 股票。

The announcement set the stage for the listing of Ether ETF products by applicant institutions, most of whom had a few months earlier launched Bitcoin ETFs.

該公告為申請機構上市以太坊 ETF 產品奠定了基礎，其中大多數機構在幾個月前就推出了比特幣 ETF。

The institutional products include the following:

機構產品包括以下內容：

As of December 27 2024, the cumulative net inflow of funds into the products is $2.68 billion, according to SoSo value. The ETFs hold $12.11 billion in total net assets, which equates to 3.01% of the Ether market cap.

根據SoSo價值，截至2024年12月27日，該產品累計資金淨流入為26.8億美元。這些ETF持有121.1億美元的總淨資產，相當於以太幣市值的3.01%。

4) Election of President Trump (November 6)

4）川普總統當選（11月6日）

The impending victory of Republic candidate President-Elect Donald Trump in the U.S. presidential election held on November 5 2024 represented one of the biggest moments for crypto this year for the hope and enthusiasm it elicited among crypto adherents in the U.S, and across the world.

共和黨候選人當選總統唐納德·川普即將在2024 年11 月5 日舉行的美國總統選舉中獲勝，這是今年加密貨幣最重要的時刻之一，因為它在美國和世界各地的加密貨幣追隨者中引發了希望和熱情。

Bitcoin rose above $75,000 on November 6 2024 when it became clear that Trump was going to defeat Democrat candidate Vice President, Kamala Harris, kick-starting a series of new ATHs for Bitcoin ahead of its current ATH of $108,135 achieved on December 17 2024.

2024 年11 月6 日，當川普明顯將擊敗民主黨候選人副總統卡馬拉·哈里斯(Kamala Harris) 時，比特幣價格升至75,000 美元以上，在2024 年12 月17 日達到108,135 美元在目前的ATH 之前，啟動了一系列新的ATH。

DogeCoin, the popular meme cryptocurrency related to Trump supporter, Elon Musk, recorded the highest increase on the day, surging nearly 20%.

與川普支持者馬斯克相關的熱門迷因加密貨幣狗狗幣 (DogeCoin) 創下當天最高漲幅，飆升近 20%。

The biggest milestone came exactly a month later when the leading cryptocurrency finally crossed $100,000.

一個月後，最大的里程碑到來了，當時領先的加密貨幣最終突破了 10 萬美元。

Trump has said that crypto is essential to his vision of America in the future and pledged to ensure that the U.S. government never sells off its Bitcoin holdings and creates a Bitcoin

川普表示，加密貨幣對於他對美國未來的願景至關重要，並承諾確保美國政府永遠不會出售其持有的比特幣並創建比特幣
