據報道，川普的社群媒體公司有意收購 Bakkt，比特幣創下 95,000 美元新高

比特幣 BTC=，世界上最大、最知名的加密貨幣，今年已經上漲了一倍以上。在觸及歷史最高點 94,982.37 美元後，最後報於 93,709 美元，上漲 1.6%。

Bitcoin hit a fresh record high on Friday morning Азии session, just shy of $95,000, as a report that Donald Trump's social media company was in talks to buy crypto trading firm Bakkt raised expectations of a crypto-friendly regime under his incoming administration.

週五早上，比特幣創下新高，略低於95,000 美元，因為有報導稱唐納德·川普的社交媒體公司正在就收購加密貨幣交易公司Bakkt 進行談判，這提高了人們對他即將上任的政府領導下的加密貨幣友善政權的期望。

Bitcoin rose to a high of $94,982.37 during the early hours of Asian trading, according to CoinDesk data. It was last at $93,709, still up 1.6%. The world's biggest and best-known cryptocurrency has more than doubled this year.

根據 CoinDesk 的數據，比特幣在亞洲交易早盤時段升至 94,982.37 美元的高點。最後報93,709美元，仍上漲1.6%。世界上最大、最知名的加密貨幣今年價格上漲了一倍多。

The Financial Times reported that Trump Media and Technology Group, which operates Truth Social, is close to an all-stock acquisition of Bakkt, which is backed by NYSE-owner Intercontinental Exchange.

英國《金融時報》報導，Truth Social 的營運商川普媒體和科技集團即將對 Bakkt 進行全股票收購，Bakkt 得到了紐約證券交易所所有者洲際交易所的支持。

Bitcoin has soared more than 40% since the Nov. 5 U.S. presidential election, as traders bet that Trump's stated commitment to support cryptocurrencies would lead to a less restrictive regulatory environment, lifting the sector overall.

自 11 月 5 日美國總統大選以來，比特幣已飆升超過 40%，交易員押注川普表示支持加密貨幣的承諾將導致寬鬆的監管環境，從而提振整個產業。

"The rise of bitcoin over the past 15 years is due to an innovation that cannot be recreated: decentralized electronic cash," wrote Nikhil Bhatia, founder of The Bitcoin layer, a research provider analyzing bitcoin through a global macroeconomic lens, in emailed comments.

「過去15 年比特幣的崛起歸功於一項無法重現的創新：去中心化電子現金，」The Bitcoin Layer 的創始人Nikhil Bhatia 在電子郵件評論中寫道，The Bitcoin Layer 是一家透過全球宏觀經濟視角分析比特幣的研究提供者。

"The term 'digital gold' best describes this digital asset that has an algorithmically limited supply function. If bitcoin were to reach the market size of gold ($17 trillion), it would imply a price of around $800,000 for 1 BTC," said Bhatia, who is also an adjunct professor of finance at USC Marshall School of Business.

「『數位黃金』這個詞最能描述這種具有演算法限制供應功能的數位資產。如果比特幣達到黃金的市場規模（17 兆美元），這意味著1 BTC 的價格約為80 萬美元，” Bhatia 說。

Earlier this week, the Wall Street Journal reported Trump was meeting privately with the crypto exchange Coinbase chief executive officer Brian Armstrong, further aiding sentiment.

本週早些時候，《華爾街日報》報道稱，川普正在與加密貨幣交易所 Coinbase 執行長 Brian Armstrong 私下會面，進一步提振了市場情緒。

"We expect these options to be popular and, in turn, may positively influence trading volumes of these ETPs (exchange traded products) as the underlying," said Kenneth Worthington, analyst at J.P. Morgan.

摩根大通分析師肯尼思·沃辛頓 (Kenneth Worthington) 表示：“我們預計這些期權將受到歡迎，進而可能對這些作為基礎的 ETP（交易所交易產品）的交易量產生積極影響。”

The growing excitement has taken the global cryptocurrency market's value above $3 trillion to a record high, based on analytics and data aggregator CoinGecko.

自川普當選以來，美國現貨比特幣交易所交易產品已吸引約 42 億美元資金流入，約佔該產品 1 月在美國證券交易所推出以來總資金流入的 15%。

According to Chris Weston, head of research at Australian online broker Pepperstone, there is real underlying buying pressure for bitcoin, and "another kick higher should bring in a fresh chase from those who like to buy what's strong." —

澳洲線上經紀商 Pepperstone 的研究主管 Chris Weston 表示，比特幣確實存在潛在的購買壓力，“比特幣的再次上漲應該會引起那些喜歡購買強勢資產的人的新一輪追逐。” —
