隨著 SEC 公佈改革加密貨幣規則的計劃，比特幣逼近歷史新高

1 月20 日，當承諾成為「加密貨幣總統」的川普宣誓就職時，比特幣創下了109,071 美元的歷史新高，但由於加密貨幣沒有被納入第一天的一系列行政行動中，比特幣價格下跌。

Bitcoin approached the record high hit earlier this week on Friday as the top U.S. markets regulator announced a task force to develop a regulatory framework for digital assets.

隨著美國最高市場監管機構宣布成立一個工作小組來制定數位資產監管框架，比特幣週五逼近本週稍早創下的歷史新高。

Bitcoin hit a record high of $109,071 on Thursday as Trump, who has promised to be a “crypto president”, was sworn in, but sank when crypto was not included in a flurry of executive actions on Day One.

週四，隨著承諾成為「加密貨幣總統」的川普宣誓就職，比特幣創下了109,071 美元的歷史新高，但由於加密貨幣沒有被納入第一天的一系列行政行動中，比特幣價格下跌。

Bitcoin prices rose 3.8% on Friday while ether, the second-largest cryptocurrency, gained 1.4% as the market shrugged off some of that disappointment.

週五，比特幣價格上漲 3.8%，而第二大加密貨幣以太幣價格上漲 1.4%，市場擺脫了部分失望情緒。

The Securities and Exchange Commission’s new leadership said on Friday it had created a task force to develop a regulatory framework for digital assets, the first major move by Trump’s new administration to overhaul crypto policy.

美國證券交易委員會新領導層週五表示，已成立一個工作小組來制定數位資產監管框架，這是川普新政府改革加密貨幣政策的第一個重大舉措。

“The president has moved quickly on his agenda,” Coinbase chief legal officer Paul Grewal said in a phone interview. “The SEC has made it clear they understand that and want to be a part of that.”

Coinbase 首席法律官保羅·格雷瓦爾 (Paul Grewal) 在接受電話採訪時表示：“總統迅速推進了他的議程。” “美國證券交易委員會已明確表示他們理解這一點，並希望成為其中的一部分。”

Some analysts warned, however, of volatility until Trump’s administration starts to announce concrete policies long hoped for by the crypto industry.

然而，一些分析師警告稱，在川普政府開始宣布加密產業長期以來所期望的具體政策之前，市場將會出現波動。

“The digital asset market is disappointed to not have been mentioned in the inauguration speech or Day One executive orders,” said Geoffrey Kendrick, global head of digital assets research at Standard Chartered.

渣打銀行數位資產研究全球主管 Geoffrey Kendrick 表示：“就職演說或第一天行政命令中沒有提及數位資產市場，這令人失望。”

“I suspect Bitcoin will end up going lower so long as we get no news from Trump on digital assets. A break back below $100,000 seems inevitable.”

「我懷疑，只要我們沒有收到川普關於數位資產的消息，比特幣最終就會下跌。跌破 10 萬美元似乎是不可避免的。

Trump’s own $TRUMP-branded “meme coin,” launched on Jan. 17, fell on Friday, according to cryptocurrency price tracker CoinMarketCap.

根據加密貨幣價格追蹤公司 CoinMarketCap 的數據，川普自己的 $TRUMP 品牌的「迷因幣」於 1 月 17 日推出，週五下跌。

World Liberty Financial, a separate Trump-linked crypto project, also said on Jan. 20 it had completed an initial token sale, raising $300 million (S$406 million), and that it would issue additional tokens.

與川普相關的另一個加密項目 World Liberty Financial 也在 1 月 20 日表示，它已經完成了首次代幣銷售，籌集了 3 億美元（4.06 億新元），並將發行更多代幣。

Trump has pledged to hand management of his assets to his children, but ethics experts have criticized his crypto ventures as raising conflict of interest issues and stoking speculation in a volatile asset class.

川普承諾將資產管理權交給孩子，但道德專家批評他的加密貨幣企業引發了利益衝突問題，並引發了對波動性資產類別的投機。

Acting SEC Chair Mark Uyeda’s office said on Friday the agency’s new task force will help draw clear regulatory lines, provide paths to registration, craft disclosure frameworks, and deploy enforcement resources.

美國證券交易委員會代理主席馬克烏耶達 (Mark Uyeda) 辦公室週五表示，該機構的新工作小組將協助劃定明確的監管界線、提供註冊途徑、制定揭露框架並部署執法資源。

Reuters reported earlier this month that Uyeda and fellow Republican Commissioner Hester Peirce were poised to kickstart the crypto policy overhaul.

路透社本月稍早報道稱，烏耶達和共和黨委員赫斯特·皮爾斯準備啟動加密貨幣政策改革。

Trump is also still expected to issue executive orders in coming days that will further promote Bitcoin adoption, according to Reuters and other media reports.

根據路透社和其他媒體報道，川普預計將在未來幾天發布行政命令，進一步促進比特幣的採用。

Speaking to the Reuters Global Markets Forum at the start of this week’s World Economic Forum’s annual meeting in Davos, Jeremy Allaire, chief executive officer of stablecoin issuer Circle, said he expected imminent executive orders that could allow banks to trade crypto, offer crypto investments to wealthy clients, and hold it in portfolios.

穩定幣發行人Circle 執行長 Jeremy Allaire 在本週達沃斯世界經濟論壇年會開始時向路透社全球市場論壇發表講話時表示，他預計即將出台的行政命令可能會允許銀行進行加密貨幣交易，向金融機構提供加密貨幣投資。
