加密產業為選舉投入了 1 億美元。這是它得到的

許多加密貨幣粉絲支持川普而不是哈里斯有幾個原因。川普在今年的競選活動中熱情洋溢地談到了加密貨幣

The crypto industry poured over $100 million into races across the country this election cycle, hoping to assert crypto’s relevancy as a voter issue and usher pro-crypto candidates into office. On Wednesday morning, almost all of the industry’s wishes came true.

加密貨幣產業在本次選舉週期中向全國各地的競選投入了超過 1 億美元，希望能夠維護加密貨幣作為選民問題的相關性，並引導支持加密貨幣的候選人入職。週三早上，幾乎所有業界的願望都實現了。

Republican candidate Donald Trump, who has lavished praise upon Bitcoin this year, won handily against his Democratic opponent Kamala Harris. And crypto PACs scored major wins in House and Senate races—most notably in Ohio, where Republican Bernie Moreno defeated crypto skeptic Sherrod Brown.

今年對比特幣大加讚賞的共和黨候選人唐納德·川普輕鬆擊敗了民主黨對手卡馬拉·哈里斯。加密貨幣 PAC 在眾議院和參議院競選中取得了重大勝利，尤其是在俄亥俄州，共和黨人伯尼·莫雷諾 (Bernie Moreno) 擊敗了加密貨幣懷疑論者謝羅德·布朗 (Sherrod Brown)。

As Trump’s numbers ascended on Tuesday night, Bitcoin hit a new record high, topping $75,000. Crypto-related stocks, including Robinhood Markets and MicroStrategy, also leapt upward. Enthusiasts now believe that Trump’s Administration will strip back regulation of the crypto industry, and that a favorable Congress will pass legislation that gives the industry more room to grow.

隨著川普週二晚上的支持率上升，比特幣創下新紀錄，突破 75,000 美元。 Robinhood Markets 和 MicroStrategy 等加密貨幣相關股票也出現上漲。愛好者現在相信川普政府將取消對加密貨幣行業的監管，並且有利的國會將通過立法，為該行業提供更多的發展空間。

Many crypto fans supported Trump over Harris for several reasons. Trump spoke glowingly about crypto this year on the campaign trail, despite casting skepticism upon it for years. At the Bitcoin conference in Nashville in July, Trump floated the idea of establishing a federal Bitcoin reserve, and stressed the importance of bringing more Bitcoin mining operations to the U.S.

許多加密貨幣粉絲支持川普而不是哈里斯有幾個原因。川普在今年的競選活動中熱情洋溢地談到了加密貨幣，儘管多年來一直對加密貨幣持懷疑態度。 7月在納許維爾舉行的比特幣會議上，川普提出了建立聯邦比特幣儲備的想法，並強調了將更多比特幣挖礦業務引入美國的重要性

Perhaps most importantly, Trump vowed to oust Gary Gensler, the chair of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), who has brought many lawsuits against crypto projects for allegedly violating securities laws. Gensler is a widely-reviled figure in the crypto industry, with many accusing him of stifling innovation. Gensler, conversely, argued that it was his job to protect consumers from the massive crypto collapses that unfolded in 2022, including Terra Luna and FTX.

也許最重要的是，川普發誓要罷免美國證券交易委員會（SEC）主席加里·詹斯勒（Gary Gensler），後者因涉嫌違反證券法而對加密項目提起了許多訴訟。 Gensler 是加密貨幣產業廣受詬病的人物，許多人指責他扼殺創新。相反，Gensler 認為，他的工作是保護消費者免受 2022 年發生的大規模加密貨幣崩潰（包括 Terra Luna 和 FTX）的影響。

Gensler’s term isn’t up until 2026, and it’s unclear if Trump has the authority to fire an SEC chair. But if Trump succeeds, a change to SEC leadership could allow many more crypto products to enter mainstream financial markets. For the past few years, the SEC had been hesitant to approve crypto ETFs: investment vehicles that allow people to bet on crypto without actually holding it. But a judge forced Gensler’s hand, bringing Bitcoin ETFs onto the market in January. Now, under a friendlier SEC, ETFs based on smaller cryptocurrencies like Solana and XRP may be next.

Gensler 的任期要到 2026 年，目前還不清楚川普是否有權解僱 SEC 主席。但如果川普成功，美國證券交易委員會領導層的變化可能會讓更多的加密產品進入主流金融市場。在過去的幾年裡，美國證券交易委員會對於批准加密貨幣 ETF 一直猶豫不決：這種投資工具允許人們在不實際持有加密貨幣的情況下進行押注。但一名法官迫使 Gensler 在 1 月將比特幣 ETF 推向市場。現在，在更友善的 SEC 監管下，基於 Solana 和 XRP 等小型加密貨幣的 ETF 可能會成為下一個目標。

Many crypto enthusiasts are also excited by Trump’s alliance with Elon Musk, who has long championed cryptocurrencies on social media. On election night, Dogecoin, Musk’s preferred meme coin, spiked 25% to 21 cents.

許多加密貨幣愛好者也對川普與伊隆馬斯克的聯盟感到興奮，後者長期以來在社群媒體上支持加密貨幣。在選舉之夜，馬斯克最喜歡的迷因幣狗狗幣飆升 25%，至 21 美分。

Crypto enthusiasts are also cheering the results in the Senate, which was the focus of most of the industry’s political contributions. Crypto PACs like Fairshake spent over $100 million dollars supporting pro-crypto candidates and opposing anti-crypto candidates, in the hopes of fomenting a new Congress that would pass legislation favorable to the industry. Centrally, lobbyists hoped for a bill that would turn over crypto regulation from the SEC to the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC), a much smaller agency.

加密貨幣愛好者也對參議院的結果歡呼雀躍，這是該行業大多數政治捐款的焦點。像 Fairshake 這樣的加密貨幣 PAC 花費了超過 1 億美元來支持支持加密貨幣的候選人和反對反加密貨幣的候選人，希望組建一個新的國會，通過有利於該行業的立法。遊說者主要希望通過一項法案，將加密貨幣監管從 SEC 移交給規模小得多的機構商品期貨交易委員會 (CFTC)。

Crypto PACs particularly focused their efforts in Ohio, spending some $40 million to unseat Democrat Brown, the Senate Banking Committee Chair and a crypto critic. His opponent Moreno has been a regular attendee at crypto conferences and vowed to “lead the fight to defend crypto in the US Senate.” On Tuesday night, Moreno won, flipping control of the Senate.

加密貨幣政治行動委員會尤其將精力集中在俄亥俄州，花費約 4000 萬美元推翻了參議院銀行委員會主席、加密貨幣批評者、民主黨人布朗。他的對手莫雷諾一直是加密貨幣會議的常客，並發誓要「領導美國參議院捍衛加密貨幣的鬥爭」。週二晚上，莫雷諾獲勝，推翻了參議院的控制權。

Defend American Jobs, a Crypto PAC affiliated with Fairshake, claimed credit for Brown’s defeat on Tuesday. “Elizabeth Warren ally Sherrod Brown was a top opponent of cryptocurrency and thanks to our efforts, he will be leaving the Senate,” spokesperson Josh Vlasto wrote in a statement. “Senator-Elect Moreno’s come-from-behind win shows that Ohio voters want a leader who prioritizes innovation, protects American economic interests, and will ensure our nation’s continued technological leadership.”

隸屬於 Fairshake 的加密貨幣政治行動委員會「捍衛美國就業」組織週二聲稱布朗的失敗應歸功於其功勞。 「伊麗莎白沃倫的盟友謝羅德布朗是加密貨幣的頭號反對者，由於我們的努力，他將離開參議院，」發言人喬什弗拉斯託在一份聲明中寫道。 “當選參議員莫雷諾的逆轉勝利表明，俄亥俄州選民想要一位優先考慮創新、保護美國經濟利益並確保我們國家持續保持技術領先地位的領導人。”

Crypto PACs notched another victory in Montana, where their preferred candidate, Republican Tim Sheehy, defeated Democrat Jon Tester.

加密貨幣政治行動委員會在蒙大拿州取得了另一場勝利，他們的首選候選人共和黨人蒂姆·希伊 (Tim Sheehy) 擊敗了民主黨人喬恩·泰斯特 (Jon Tester)。

Finally, crypto enthusiasts celebrated the accuracy of prediction markets, which allow users to bet on election results using crypto. Advocates claimed that prediction markets could be more accurate than polls, because they channeled the collective wisdom of people with skin in the game. Critics, on the other hand, dismissed them as being too volatile and based in personal sentiment and boosterism.

最後，加密貨幣愛好者慶祝了預測市場的準確性，該市場允許用戶使用加密貨幣對選舉結果進行押注。支持者聲稱，預測市場可能比民意調查更準確，因為它們匯集了利害關係人的集體智慧。另一方面，批評者則認為它們過於不穩定且基於個人情緒和助推主義。

For weeks, prediction markets had been far more favorable toward Trump than the polls, which portrayed Trump and Harris in a dead heat. (For example, Polymarket gave Trump a 62% chance of winning on Nov. 3.) And on election day, before any major results had been tabulated, prediction markets swung heavily towards Trump; the odds of Republicans sweeping the presidency, house and senate jumped to 44% on Kalshi.

幾週來，預測市場對川普的支持率遠高於民調，民調顯示川普和哈里斯勢均力敵。 （例如，Polymarket 預測川普在 11 月 3 日獲勝的幾率為 62%。）在選舉日，在任何重大結果公佈之前，預測市場就大幅轉向川普；在卡爾希的支持下，共和黨橫掃總統、眾議院和參議院的幾率躍升至 44%。
