加密貨幣產業慶祝川普當選勝利，比特幣觸及 8 萬美元歷史新高

比特幣今年上漲了 80%，令標普 500 指數今年 25.7% 的漲幅相形見絀。在短暫觸及 80,000 美元里程碑後，比特幣週日上午的交易價格略低於該水平。

Bitcoin hit a new record Sunday morning, continuing its rally in the wake of Donald Trump’s presidential election victory.

週日上午，比特幣創下新紀錄，在唐納德·特朗普贏得總統選舉後繼續上漲。

Bitcoin was last up 80 per cent in 2024, far outpacing the S&P 500’s still-stellar 25.7 per cent gain this year. After briefly hitting the $80,000 milestone, bitcoin was trading just below it Sunday mid-morning.

比特幣上次上漲 80% 是在 2024 年，遠遠超過了標準普爾 500 指數今年 25.7% 的強勁漲幅。在短暫觸及 80,000 美元里程碑後，比特幣週日上午的交易價格略低於該水平。

The crypto industry largely sees Trump’s victory as a bullish sign for bitcoin and other digital currencies. Despite Trump’s earlier bitcoin skepticism — he once said the crypto "was based on thin air" — he has fully embraced crypto in recent months, unlike the Biden administration, which has sought to rein in crypto.

加密產業在很大程度上將川普的勝利視為比特幣和其他數位貨幣的看漲訊號。儘管川普早些時候對比特幣持懷疑態度——他曾表示加密貨幣「是憑空而來」——但他在最近幾個月完全接受了加密貨幣，這與試圖控制加密貨幣的拜登政府不同。

One major reason for Trump’s crypto about-face: He now has a financial stake in the crypto industry. In September, Trump and his children launched a new crypto business called World Liberty Financial.

川普對加密貨幣態度大轉變的一個主要原因是：他現在在加密貨幣產業擁有財務股份。 9 月，川普和他的孩子們推出了一項名為 World Liberty Financial 的新加密業務。

“It’s very young and very growing,” Trump said of the cryptocurrency industry on September 16 while unveiling World Liberty Financial. “I do believe in it.”

9 月 16 日，川普在推出世界自由金融公司時談到加密貨幣行業時表示：“它非常年輕，而且正在快速發展。” “我確實相信這一點。”

The Biden administration, on the other hand, has been much more skeptical of crypto. Securities and Exchange Commission Chairman Gary Gensler said in June 2021, in one of his first speeches in his then-new job, that crypto was “ripe with fraud, scams and abuses.”

另一方面，拜登政府對加密貨幣持更懷疑的態度。 2021 年 6 月，美國證券交易委員會主席加里·詹斯勒 (Gary Gensler) 在他上任後的第一次演講中表示，加密貨幣「欺詐、詐騙和濫用行為已經成熟」。

Gensler’s SEC sued several crypto companies and worked to regulate the industry, which the chairman said he believed was at least partially made up of securities that were being traded illegally. The SEC also partnered with other regulators, including the Department of Justice, in going after crypto fraudsters — most notably Sam Bankman-Fried, the former CEO of FTX.

Gensler 的 SEC 起訴了幾家加密貨幣公司，並致力於監管該行業，主席表示，他認為該行業至少部分由非法交易的證券組成。 SEC 也與包括司法部在內的其他監管機構合作，追捕加密貨幣詐欺者，其中最著名的是 FTX 前執行長 Sam Bankman-Fried。

Gensler slow-walked — but ultimately approved — a bitcoin exchange-traded fund, allowing people to add exposure to cryptocurrencies in their retirement accounts. In January 2024, Gensler’s X account was hacked, and his account falsely announced that the long-awaited bitcoin ETF was open for business, which temporarily sent cryptocurrencies soaring.

Gensler 進展緩慢，但最終批准了比特幣交易所交易基金，讓人們在退休帳戶中增加對加密貨幣的投資。 2024 年 1 月，Gensler 的 X 帳戶被駭客入侵，他的帳戶錯誤地宣布期待已久的比特幣 ETF 開業，這使得加密貨幣暫時暴漲。

Trump said in August that cryptocurrencies could “define the future,” and he wanted them "mined, minted and made in the USA." The president-elect also proposed a strategic national bitcoin stockpile, where the U.S. government would directly purchase and invest in cryptocurrencies as a national security measure.

川普在八月表示，加密貨幣可以“定義未來”，他希望它們“在美國開採、鑄造和製造”。這位當選總統還提議建立一個戰略性的國家比特幣儲備，美國政府將直接購買和投資加密貨幣，作為國家安全措施。

Elon Musk, one of Trump’s most prominent and vocal supporters, is also a well-known crypto bull. Musk’s favorite coin, Dogecoin, was up more than 20 per cent on Sunday and had been rallying all last week.

伊隆馬斯克是川普最著名和最直言不諱的支持者之一，也是一位著名的加密貨幣牛市者。馬斯克最喜歡的加密貨幣狗狗幣週日上漲了 20% 以上，上週一直在上漲。
