隨著加密貨幣倡導者成為 SEC 和 CFTC 主席的競爭者，比特幣 (BTC) 價格接近 10 萬美元

截至倫敦時間週四凌晨 5:45，該數位資產升至兩週多以來的最高水平，達到 97,361 美元，隨後跌至 95,500 美元。

Cryptocurrency lovers emerged as leading candidates in consideration by the Senate to run both the Securities and Exchange Commission and the Commodity Futures Trading Commission, which aids its sentiment.

加密貨幣愛好者成為參議院考慮管理證券交易委員會和商品期貨交易委員會的主要候選人，這提振了參議院的情緒。

He will roll back a Biden administration crackdown on digital assets and support industry growth, including building up a national Bitcoin stockpile.

他將撤銷拜登政府對數位資產的打壓，並支持產業成長，包括建立國家比特幣庫存。

The Republican’s promises sparked a wave of euphoria that pushed the token to within a whisker of a record $100,000 last week before the mood turned cautious ahead of concrete steps.

這位共和黨人的承諾引發了一陣欣喜，上週該代幣價格一度逼近創紀錄的 10 萬美元，但在採取具體措施之前，人們的情緒變得謹慎。

Possible SEC Head

可能的 SEC 主席

People familiar with the matter say that crypto advocate Paul Atkins is a top contender to succeed Gary Gensler as SEC chair. Gensler launched a flurry of enforcement actions over alleged noncompliance and risky practices in the digital-asset sector, becoming the industry’s bete noire.

知情人士表示，加密貨幣倡導者保羅·阿特金斯 (Paul Atkins) 是接替加里·詹斯勒 (Gary Gensler) 擔任 SEC 主席的最佳競爭者。 Gensler 針對數位資產領域涉嫌違規和危險行為發起了一系列執法行動，成為該行業的一大禍害。

Meanwhile, most or all of the potential contenders to head the CFTC, the derivatives regulator, would likely be friendly toward the crypto market, which has surged about $1 trillion since Trump’s victory in the US election on Nov. 5.

同時，大多數或所有領導衍生性商品監管機構CFTC 的潛在競爭者可能都會對加密貨幣市場持友好態度，自川普11 月5 日在美國大選中獲勝以來，加密貨幣市場已飆升約1兆美元。

Trump’s transition team has also discussed whether to create the first White House post dedicated to digital-asset policy. On Wall Street, there are growing indications of more willingness to engage with the nascent market.

川普的過渡團隊也討論了是否設立第一個專門負責數位資產政策的白宮職位。在華爾街，越來越多的跡象顯示他們更願意參與新興市場。

Bitcoin came within $300 of the landmark $100,000 mark on Nov. 22 before shedding about $9,000 over the subsequent four days. Crypto’s adherents view the six-figure number as a validation of contested claims that Bitcoin is a modern-day store of value and a hedge against inflation risk.

11 月 22 日，比特幣價格距離具有里程碑意義的 10 萬美元大關不到 300 美元，然後在接下來的四天裡下跌了約 9,000 美元。加密貨幣的追隨者將這個六位數的數字視為對有爭議的說法的驗證，即比特幣是現代價值儲存手段和對沖通膨風險的工具。

Roubini’s Warning

魯比尼的警告

Experts disagree, such as Nouriel Roubini — known for his warnings of disaster before the 2008 financial crisis. “Bitcoin is highly volatile,” Roubini said on Bloomberg Television Wednesday.

專家們並不同意，例如努里爾·魯比尼 (Nouriel Roubini)，他因在 2008 年金融危機前發出災難警告而聞名。 「比特幣波動性很大，」魯比尼週三在彭博電視台表示。

"If you want wealth preservation rather than high volatility, you want to stay away from those types of assets."

“如果你想要財富保值而不是高波動性，你就應該遠離這些類型的資產。”

It is estimated that about $6.9 billion has flowed into US exchange-traded funds invested directly in Bitcoin since the election victory of Trump. The 12 ETFs have total assets of approximately $100 billion.

據估計，自川普當選以來，已有約 69 億美元流入直接投資於比特幣的美國交易所交易基金。這12只ETF的總資產約為1000億美元。

Once some leverage is flushed and shorter term buyers are done taking profits, we believe Bitcoin may find a strong base of support and could make another attempt to surpass the $100,000 level,” Alex Thorn, head of firmwide research at Galaxy Digital LP, wrote in a note.

一旦一些槓桿被沖掉，短期買家完成獲利了結，我們相信比特幣可能會找到強大的支撐基礎，並可能再次嘗試突破10 萬美元的水平。中寫道。
