Bitcoin Ecosystem Resurgence: Layer-2 Protocols, DeFi, and New Innovations

比特幣生態系統復興：第 2 層協議、DeFi 和新創新

Embracing Innovation on the Bitcoin Blockchain

擁抱比特幣區塊鏈創新

While Ethereum has long dominated the attention of developers, the Bitcoin ecosystem is experiencing a revival, marked by numerous initiatives that aim to advance the original blockchain technology. Recent developments have highlighted the growing convergence between Bitcoin and decentralized finance (DeFi), resulting in a demand for layer-2 protocols that alleviate congestion and lower transaction costs on the Bitcoin blockchain as on-chain activity surges.

雖然以太坊長期以來一直吸引著開發人員的注意力，但比特幣生態系統正在經歷復興，其標誌是許多旨在推進原始區塊鏈技術的舉措。最近的發展凸顯了比特幣和去中心化金融(DeFi) 之間的日益融合，隨著鏈上活動的激增，人們對第二層協議產生了需求，該協議可以緩解比特幣區塊鏈的擁塞並降低交易成本。

Prominent Players Embrace Bitcoin Offerings

知名玩家擁抱比特幣產品

Major players in the cryptocurrency industry are recognizing the potential of Bitcoin. Coinbase, one of the largest crypto exchanges, has recently integrated the Lightning Network, a layer-2 solution for faster and cheaper Bitcoin transfers. This move follows a similar decision by Binance almost a year ago.

加密貨幣行業的主要參與者正在認識到比特幣的潛力。 Coinbase 是最大的加密貨幣交易所之一，最近整合了閃電網絡，這是一種更快、更便宜的比特幣傳輸的第 2 層解決方案。幣安近一年前也做出了類似的決定。

In a further sign of Bitcoin's growing relevance, software company Animoca Brands has partnered with the Opal Foundation, a new Bitcoin ecosystem protocol, to enter the Bitcoin industry.

軟體公司 Animoca Brands 與新的比特幣生態系統協議 Opal 基金會合作，進軍比特幣產業，這進一步表明了比特幣的相關性日益增強。

Runes Ignite Excitement on the Bitcoin Blockchain

符文點燃比特幣區塊鏈的熱情

The introduction of Runes, a new token standard, on the Bitcoin blockchain has generated considerable excitement. Launched on April 20, Runes enable the creation of fungible tokens on the network. Within the first ten days, Rune transactions have generated over 1,200 BTC in transaction fees for miners.

在比特幣區塊鏈上引入新的代幣標準 Runes 引起了相當大的興奮。 Runes 於 4 月 20 日推出，支援在網路上建立可替代代幣。在前十天內，符文交易已為礦工產生了超過 1,200 BTC 的交易費用。

Avalanche Integrates with Stripe for Enhanced Fiat-to-Crypto Access

Avalanche 與 Stripe 整合以增強法幣到加密貨幣的訪問

The Avalanche C-Chain network has formed an alliance with Stripe, a leading payment firm. This integration provides verified Stripe users with the ability to purchase Avalanche's (AVAX) token and transfer it to their wallets. Additionally, eight Avalanche Web3 applications have been integrated with the platform.

Avalanche C-Chain 網路已與領先的支付公司 Stripe 結盟。這種整合使經過驗證的 Stripe 用戶能夠購買 Avalanche 的 (AVAX) 代幣並將其轉移到他們的錢包中。此外，八個 Avalanche Web3 應用程式已與該平台整合。

Developers of Avalanche apps can now incorporate a customizable widget into their interfaces, allowing users to exchange fiat currencies for cryptocurrencies through Stripe's platform. This integration aims to address the "cold start problem" in Web3, where users lack sufficient funds in their wallets to initiate transactions. Stripe, in this scenario, manages KYC, payments, fraud detection, and compliance, enabling developers to focus on the functionality of their apps.

Avalanche 應用程式的開發人員現在可以將可自訂的小部件合併到他們的介面中，允許用戶透過 Stripe 平台將法定貨幣兌換為加密貨幣。此整合旨在解決 Web3 中的“冷啟動問題”，即用戶錢包中缺乏足夠的資金來發起交易。在這種情況下，Stripe 管理 KYC、支付、詐欺偵測和合規性，使開發人員能夠專注於其應用程式的功能。

MicroStrategy's Bitcoin Spree Continues Amidst Quarterly Loss

MicroStrategy 的比特幣熱潮在季度虧損中持續

MicroStrategy, a business intelligence firm and ardent Bitcoin advocate, reported a net loss of $53.1 million in the first quarter of 2024. This loss was primarily attributed to a $191.6 million impairment loss on digital assets, significantly higher than the previous year. The company's revenue also declined by 5.5% to $115.2 million compared to the same period in 2023.

商業智慧公司、比特幣的熱情倡導者 MicroStrategy 報告稱，2024 年第一季淨虧損 5,310 萬美元。與2023年同期相比，該公司的營收也下降了5.5%至1.152億美元。

Despite the loss, MicroStrategy's unwavering belief in Bitcoin remains evident. Under traditional accounting methods, its Bitcoin holdings were valued at $5.07 billion. However, at fair market price, the value would soar to $15.2 billion, reflecting a 65% increase during the quarter. The company has continued to acquire more Bitcoin in April, now holding 214,400 BTC worth $13.5 billion, acquired at an average purchase price of $35,180.

儘管遭受損失，MicroStrategy 對比特幣堅定不移的信念仍然顯而易見。按照傳統會計方法，其持有的比特幣價值為 50.7 億美元。然而，以公平市場價格計算，其價值將飆升至 152 億美元，本季成長 65%。該公司在 4 月繼續購買更多比特幣，目前持有 214,400 個比特幣，價值 135 億美元，平均購買價格為 35,180 美元。

BlackRock's Tokenized Treasury Fund Emerges as Industry Leader

貝萊德的代幣化國庫基金成為產業領導者

BlackRock USD Institutional Digital Liquidity Fund (BUIDL) has become the largest tokenized treasury fund on the blockchain, surpassing the Franklin Templeton-backed Franklin OnChain U.S. Government Money Fund (BENJI). With a market cap of $375 million, BUIDL has overtaken the previous reigning champion, which has a market cap of $368 million.

貝萊德美元機構數位流動性基金（BUIDL）已成為區塊鏈上最大的代幣化國債基金，超過富蘭克林鄧普頓支持的富蘭克林鏈上美國政府貨幣基金（BENJI）。 BUIDL 的市值為 3.75 億美元，超越了先前的衛冕冠軍（市值為 3.68 億美元）。

Last week, BUIDL attracted $70 million, including a substantial investment from Ondo Finance. During the same period, BENJI witnessed a 3.7% decline in its assets under management. The tokenization of U.S. Treasurys across various blockchains, including Ethereum, Polygon, and Solana, now exceeds $1.2 billion.

上週，BUIDL 吸引了 7,000 萬美元，其中包括 Ondo Finance 的巨額投資。同期，本基管理資產下降3.7%。美國國債在以太坊、Polygon 和 Solana 等各種區塊鏈上的代幣化現已超過 12 億美元。

Coinbase Embraces Lightning Network for Bitcoin Transactions

Coinbase 以閃電網路進行比特幣交易

Coinbase has introduced support for the Lightning Network, offering users the flexibility to transfer Bitcoin using either the Lightning Network or the Bitcoin blockchain. The Lightning Network enables faster and cheaper transfers, with instantaneous transactions in contrast to the Bitcoin blockchain's 10-minute to two-hour transfer times.

Coinbase 引入了對閃電網路的支持，為用戶提供使用閃電網路或比特幣區塊鏈傳輸比特幣的靈活性。閃電網路可以實現更快、更便宜的傳輸，並且可以進行即時交易，而比特幣區塊鏈的傳輸時間需要 10 分鐘到兩小時。

To use the Lightning Network, the recipient provides an invoice consisting of a complex string of characters that Coinbase recognizes as the transfer amount. However, Coinbase cautions that Lightning transfers may occasionally experience delays or failures due to unique implementation or fee structures.

要使用閃電網絡，接收者需要提供由 Coinbase 識別為轉帳金額的複雜字串組成的發票。然而，Coinbase 警告稱，由於獨特的實施或費用結構，閃電傳輸有時可能會出現延遲或失敗。
