比特幣金庫創歷史新高，飆升至 10 萬美元里程碑

週四上午，比特幣價格首次短暫突破 98,000 美元，隨後回落至 97,600 美元左右。

The price of bitcoin soared to a new record high on Thursday, continuing a stunning rally that has seen the world's most popular cryptocurrency surge more than 3% in early trading and hurtle toward investors' long-sought milestone of $100,000.

週四，比特幣價格飆升至歷史新高，繼續令人驚嘆的漲勢，這種全球最受歡迎的加密貨幣在早盤交易中飆升超過 3%，並沖向投資者長期追求的 10 萬美元里程碑。

The bitcoin price briefly exceeded $98,000 for the first time on Thursday morning, before pulling back to around $97,600 at last check.

週四上午，比特幣價格首次短暫突破 98,000 美元，最後一次回落至 97,600 美元左右。

The value of bitcoin has soared 31% since the reelection of former President Donald Trump, who is widely viewed as friendly toward digital currency.

自從被廣泛認為對數位貨幣友好的前總統唐納德·川普連任以來，比特幣的價值已飆升 31%。

By comparison, the S&P 500 has risen about 2% over that period.

相比之下，標普 500 指數同期上漲了約 2%。

The run-up in bitcoin extended to other parts of the crypto industry. Ether, the second-largest cryptocurrency, jumped 8% in early trading on Thursday. Lesser-known litecoin rose nearly 6%, and dogecoin ticked up more than 2%.

比特幣的上漲延伸到了加密產業的其他領域。第二大加密貨幣以太幣週四早盤上漲 8%。不太知名的萊特幣上漲近 6%，狗狗幣上漲超過 2%。

On the campaign trail, Trump vowed to bolster the cryptocurrency sector and ease regulations enforced by the Biden administration. Trump also promised to establish the federal government's first National Strategic Bitcoin Reserve.

在競選過程中，川普發誓要支持加密貨幣產業並放鬆拜登政府實施的監管。川普也承諾建立聯邦政府第一個國家戰略比特幣儲備。

Trump said he would replace Securities and Exchange Commission Chair Gary Gensler, whom many crypto proponents dislike for what they perceive as a heavy-handed approach to crypto regulation.

川普表示，他將取代美國證券交易委員會主席加里·詹斯勒(Gary Gensler)，許多加密貨幣支持者不喜歡加里·詹斯勒(Gary Gensler)，因為他們認為他對加密貨幣監管採取了嚴厲的態度。

In July, Trump told the audience at a cryptocurrency conference in Nashville, Tennessee, that he wanted to turn the U.S. into the "crypto capital of the planet."

7 月，川普在田納西州納許維爾舉行的加密貨幣會議上告訴觀眾，他希望將美國變成「地球的加密貨幣之都」。

"I'm calling it the 'election dividend,'" James Butterfill, head of research at digital asset management firm CoinShares, told ABC News. "We went from being worried about a Democrat getting elected to what we've got: a Republican clean sweep."

數位資產管理公司 CoinShares 的研究主管詹姆斯·巴特菲爾 (James Butterfill) 告訴美國廣播公司新聞 (ABC News)：“我稱之為‘選舉紅利’。” “我們從擔心民主黨當選變成了我們所擁有的：共和黨大獲全勝。”

The recent rise follows a period of stellar returns that stretches back to last year. The price of bitcoin has soared more than 150% since November 2023. Over that period, the S&P 500 has risen about 30%.

最近的上漲是在去年以來一段時期的出色回報之後出現的。自 2023 年 11 月以來，比特幣的價格已飆升超過 150%。

Those gains have been propelled, in part, by U.S. approval in January of bitcoin exchange-traded funds, or ETFs. Bitcoin ETFs allow investors to buy into an asset that tracks the price movement of bitcoin, while avoiding the inconvenience and risk of purchasing the crypto coin itself.

這些收益在一定程度上得益於美國在一月批准比特幣交易所交易基金（ETF）。比特幣 ETF 讓投資者購買追蹤比特幣價格變動的資產，同時避免購買加密貨幣本身的不便和風險。

On Tuesday, options on BlackRock's popular iShares Bitcoin Trust ETF (IBIT) were made available for trading on the Nasdaq. The options, which provide a new avenue for bitcoin investors, allow individuals to commit to buy or sell the ETF at a given price by a specific date. While such investments typically come with additional risk, they can also make large payouts.

週二，貝萊德廣受歡迎的 iShares 比特幣信託 ETF (IBIT) 選擇權在納斯達克上市交易。這些選擇權為比特幣投資者提供了新的途徑，允許個人承諾在特定日期之前以給定價格購買或出售 ETF。雖然此類投資通常會帶來額外的風險，但它們也可以獲得巨額回報。

The price of IBIT jumped 3.1% on Thursday.

週四 IBIT 價格上漲 3.1%。

The newly available options may account for some of the rise in the price of bitcoin over recent days, Bryan Armour, the director of passive strategies research at financial firm Morningstar, told ABC News.

金融公司晨星公司被動策略研究主管 Bryan Armour 告訴美國廣播公司新聞，新推出的選擇權可能是最近幾天比特幣價格上漲的部分原因。

"The options add volatility on top of volatility, which has interested some of the crypto investors," Armour said.

Armor 表示：“這些選擇權除了波動性之外還增加了波動性，這引起了一些加密貨幣投資者的興趣。”

The crypto industry entered this year bruised after a series of high-profile collapses and company scandals.

在一系列備受矚目的倒閉和公司醜聞之後，加密貨幣產業今年元氣大傷。

FTX, a multibillion-dollar cryptocurrency exchange co-founded by Sam Bankman-Fried, collapsed in November 2022. The implosion set off a 17-month legal saga that culminated in Bankman-Fried's conviction for fraud. In April, Bankman-Fried was sentenced to 25 years in prison.

FTX 是Sam Bankman-Fried 共同創立的價值數十億美元的加密貨幣交易所，於2022 年11 月倒閉。判詐欺罪。 4 月，班克曼-弗里德被判處 25 年監禁。

The surge of bitcoin since Election Day may continue for the foreseeable future, since past periods of momentum have been shown to propel the cryptocurrency, Armour said. But crypto investments remain highly volatile, he added, recommending that the asset make up no more than 5% of a person's portfolio.

Armor 表示，自選舉日以來，比特幣的飆升可能會在可預見的未來持續下去，因為過去的勢頭已被證明可以推動加密貨幣的發展。但他補充說，加密貨幣投資仍高度波動，建議該資產佔個人投資組合的比例不超過 5%。

"It's notoriously difficult to provide a value for bitcoin's price," Armour said. "It can go up; it can go down."

「眾所周知，提供比特幣價格的價值是非常困難的，」阿莫爾說。 “它可以上升，也可以下降。”

"I would continue to keep any allocation small," Armour added.

「我將繼續保持較小的分配，」阿莫爾補充道。
