川普勝選後比特幣觸及 76,000 美元的歷史新高

這一激增很大程度上是由川普出人意料地從批評比特幣為「騙局」轉向擁抱支持加密貨幣的平台所推動的。

On Wednesday, bitcoin hit a new all-time high of $76,000 following former US President Donald Trump's victory over Vice President Kamala Harris in the American presidential election.

週三，隨著美國前總統唐納德·川普在美國總統選舉中擊敗副總統卡馬拉·哈里斯，比特幣創下了 76,000 美元的歷史新高。

This surge comes after Trump's unexpected shift from criticising bitcoin as a "scam" to embracing a pro-crypto platform. His newfound support attracted millions of dollars in cash and digital asset donations from influential Silicon Valley tech leaders.

這一激增是在川普出人意料地從批評比特幣為「騙局」轉向擁抱支持加密貨幣平台之後發生的。他的新支持吸引了矽谷有影響力的科技領導者捐贈數百萬美元的現金和數位資產。

In 2019, Trump tweeted, "I am not a fan of bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies, which are not money and whose value is highly volatile and based on thin air. Unregulated crypto assets can facilitate unlawful behaviour, including drug trade and other illegal activity.”

2019年，川普發推文稱，「我不喜歡比特幣和其他加密貨幣，它們不是貨幣，其價值波動很大，而且是憑空而來。不受監管的加密資產可能會助長非法行為，包括毒品交易和其他非法活動。

This change of stance contributed to the recent surge in bitcoin prices, which are up by 77 percent this year. Bitcoin jumped nearly 8 percent in early trading on Wednesday, smashing its previous record of $73,000 set in March.

這種立場的改變導致了比特幣價格最近的飆升，今年比特幣價格上漲了 77%。比特幣週三早盤上漲近 8%，打破了 3 月創下的 73,000 美元的歷史紀錄。

Other cryptocurrencies also soared, with ether, the world’s second most popular one after bitcoin, also rallying 8 percent. Trump supporter Elon Musk’s favourite cryptocurrency, dogecoin, soared 18 percent.

其他加密貨幣也大幅上漲，其中僅次於比特幣的全球第二大加密貨幣以太幣也上漲了 8%。川普支持者馬斯克最喜歡的加密貨幣狗狗幣飆升 18%。

Crypto enthusiast and lawyer Suril Desai believes that the surge in bitcoin was bound to happen. At the bitcoin conference in Nashville, then-candidate, and now president, Trump ignited the spark, declaring his vision of the US as the 'superpower of bitcoin’. That was just the beginning.

加密貨幣愛好者兼律師 Suril Desai 認為，比特幣的飆升是必然發生的。在納許維爾舉行的比特幣會議上，當時的候選人、現任總統川普點燃了火花，宣布他將美國視為「比特幣超級大國」的願景。那隻是開始。

Now, institutional giants have entered the arena. MicroStrategy, the biggest corporate holder of bitcoin, announced plans to raise another $40 billion to invest, signalling rock-solid support.

現在，代理商巨頭已經入場。比特幣最大的企業持有者 MicroStrategy 宣布計劃再籌集 400 億美元進行投資，這表明了其堅定的支持。

“With bitcoin ETFs making it easier for anyone to join in and its credibility recognised across financial institutions, bitcoin isn't just rising—it's redefining what a legitimate asset class can be. Watch as demand pushes it higher. The future is here,” Desai said.

「隨著比特幣 ETF 讓任何人都可以更輕鬆地加入，並且其可信度在金融機構中得到認可，比特幣不僅在上漲，而且正在重新定義合法資產類別。觀察需求將其推高。未來就在這裡，」德賽說。

Trump has declared that he would install a crypto advisory council in his first 100 days in office, establish favourable regulation to encourage domestic “made in the USA” bitcoin mining, launch a strategic national bitcoin stockpile, and replace Securities and Exchange Commission chair Gary Gensler, who has become an opponent to the crypto industry.

川普宣布，他將在上任的頭100 天內設立一個加密諮詢委員會，制定有利的監管措施以鼓勵國內「美國製造」比特幣開採，啟動國家戰略比特幣儲備，並取代美國證券交易委員會主席加里‧詹斯勒(Gary Gensler) ，他已經成為加密產業的反對者。

This year’s presidential election was touted as the most important in the crypto industry's lifetime, with Trump claiming to make the US the ‘crypto capital’ of the world. All eyes are on his plans to execute this.

今年的總統大選被認為是加密產業一生中最重要的一次，川普聲稱要讓美國成為世界「加密之都」。所有的目光都集中在他執行這項計劃的計劃上。

In the 2012, 2016 and 2020 elections, bitcoin saw returns of roughly 87 percent, 44 percent and 145 percent in the 90 days following Election Day, respectively, according to CNBC. This is also because election years happen to fall on bitcoin halving years, when the supply of the cryptocurrency goes downward.

根據 CNBC 報道，在 2012 年、2016 年和 2020 年的選舉中，比特幣在選舉日後 90 天內的回報率分別約為 87%、44% 和 145%。這也是因為選舉年恰逢比特幣減半年，此時加密貨幣的供應量下降。

“Bitcoin is on its way to reach $100K before December and $150K before March 2025,” said Sidharth Sogani, founder and CEO of Crebaco Global, a crypto and blockchain market research and ratings firm. “Trump is pro-bitcoin and will promote decentralisation and self-custody regulations. This, coupled with a better economic and geopolitical situation will boost the prices furthermore.”

加密和區塊鏈市場研究和評級公司 Crebaco Global 的創始人兼首席執行官 Sidharth Sogani 表示：“比特幣價格預計在 12 月之前達到 10 萬美元，在 2025 年 3 月之前達到 15 萬美元。” 「川普支持比特幣，並將推動權力下放和自我託管監管。再加上更好的經濟和地緣政治形勢，將進一步推高價格。
