唐納德·川普贏得大選後，比特幣價格飆升至 81,000 美元以上的歷史新高

在競選期間，川普擁抱數位資產，承諾讓美國成為“地球的加密之都”，並累積全國性的比特幣儲備。

Bitcoin soared to a record high of above $81,000 (£62,792) per coin on Monday following the election of Donald Trump and the expectation that the Republicans will win both Houses of Congress.

在唐納德·川普當選以及共和黨將贏得國會兩院的預期之後，週一比特幣飆升至每枚 81,000 美元（62,792 英鎊）的歷史新高。

During the campaign, Mr Trump embraced digital assets – promising to make the US the “crypto capital of the planet” and to accumulate a national stockpile of Bitcoin.

在競選期間，川普擁抱數位資產，承諾讓美國成為“地球的加密之都”，並累積全國性的比特幣儲備。

Russ Mould, investment director at AJ Bell said: “Bitcoin is the one asset that was always going to soar if Mr Trump returned to the White House. A brief jump to $75,281 put the cryptocurrency at a new all-time high and fired up traders to speculate when, not if, it will smash through $100,000.

AJ Bell 投資總監 Russ Mould 表示：「如果川普先生重返白宮，比特幣是一種總是會飆升的資產。短暫上漲至 75,281 美元，使加密貨幣創下歷史新高，並引發交易者猜測何時（而不是是否）突破 100,000 美元。

“Mr Trump has already declared his love of the digital currency and crypto traders now have a new narrative by which to get even more excited about where the price could go.”

“川普先生已經宣布了他對數位貨幣的熱愛，加密貨幣交易者現在有了新的敘述方式，可以對價格的走向更加興奮。”

The Bitcoin price is up 95pc so far this year, and over 800,000pc since it started trading on crypto exchanges over a decade ago, according to data from eToro.

根據 eToro 的數據，今年迄今，比特幣價格已上漲 95%，自十多年前開始在加密貨幣交易所交易以來，已上漲超過 80 萬%。

Dubbed “digital gold”, Bitcoin has also been touted as a hedge against inflation. But the world’s most famous cryptocurrency has a chequered history and its price is notoriously volatile.

比特幣被稱為“數位黃金”，也被吹捧為對沖通膨的工具。但世界上最著名的加密貨幣有著一段曲折的歷史，而且其價格波動也是出了名的。

The cryptocurrency industry spent around $130m backing pro-crypto candidates, Bloomberg reported.

根據彭博社報道，加密貨幣行業花費了約 1.3 億美元來支持支持加密貨幣的候選人。

Moreover, Mr Trump has pledged to remove the current leadership of the Securities and Exchange Commission that is battling crypto companies in court, including crypto-exchange Coinbase.

此外，川普還承諾解除美國證券交易委員會的現任領導層，該委員會正在法庭上與包括加密貨幣交易所 Coinbase 在內的加密公司進行鬥爭。

Other cryptocurrencies including Dogecoin – long favoured by Elon Musk, the richest man in the world and Trump ally – have risen even higher and outperformed Bitcoin as investors bet on the market as a whole.

隨著投資者押注整個市場，包括狗狗幣在內的其他加密貨幣——長期以來受到世界首富和川普盟友伊隆馬斯克的青睞——的漲幅甚至超過了比特幣。
