比特幣 (BTC) 週一在美國飆升至 92,606 美元，截至昨天上午 8:06 在新加坡轉手至 90,565 美元

Surging Bitcoin prices are getting a helping hand from a slew of developments that highlight the deepening embrace of the digital-asset industry in the United States under crypto cheerleader Donald Trump.

比特幣價格的飆升得益於一系列事態發展，這些事態發展突顯了加密貨幣啦啦隊長唐納德·特朗普(Donald Trump)領導下的美國對數位資產行業的日益深入的接受。

At the top of the tape was the revelation that the President-elect’s Trump Media & Technology Group Corp is in talks to buy digital-asset marketplace Bakkt Holdings Inc, which sparked a surge in the shares of both companies.

最重要的是，當選總統的川普媒體科技集團公司正在就收購數位資產市場 Bakkt Holdings Inc 進行談判，這引發了兩家公司股價的飆升。

其他進展包括納斯達克公司計劃最早於本週在價值43​​0 億美元的iShares 比特幣信託基金上列出選擇權，以及高盛集團公司推動剝離其數位資產平台，這些跡象表明加密貨幣及其底層區塊鏈技術正在深入挖掘金融體系。

Pepperstone Group 研究主管 Chris Weston 在一份報告中寫道：「加密貨幣領域再次發生變化。」他補充說，川普媒體對 Bakkt 的投資是「另一則提振市場情緒的正面消息」。

Trump has vowed to create a supportive US regulatory framework for digital assets and set up a strategic bitcoin stockpile.
