加密貨幣價格持續走高，比特幣價格從 10 萬美元跌至不到 1%

LMAX 分析師喬爾·克魯格 (Joel Kruger) 認為，美國證券交易委員會 (SEC) 專員加里·根斯勒 (Gary Gensler) 週四宣布，選舉後的反彈仍有更多動力。

Bitcoin price continued edging higher Thursday, now less than 1% away from $100,000. But some analysts expect the postelection rally to continue, especially with Thursday's announcement that Securities and Exchange Commissioner Gary Gensler plans to step down.

週四比特幣價格繼續小幅走高，目前距離 10 萬美元不到 1%。但一些分析師預計，選舉後的漲勢將繼續下去，特別是周四宣布證券交易委員加里·詹斯勒(Gary Gensler)計劃辭職。

Bitcoin hit a new high of $99,518 overnight, CoinDesk data showed, continuing its rally after the U.S. elections registered a broad victory for Republicans and bitcoin clocked in at around $98,300 Friday morning. The world's largest cryptocurrency has rallied 135% so far this year.

CoinDesk 數據顯示，比特幣隔夜觸及 99,518 美元的新高，在美國大選共和黨大獲全勝後，比特幣繼續上漲，週五上午比特幣價格約為 98,300 美元。今年迄今為止，全球最大的加密貨幣已上漲 135%。

Some analysts expect bitcoin to hit $100,000 by year-end, a target that now looks possible any minute. While $100,000 is generally seen as a psychologically important threshold, some see it as also a level of possible resistance.

一些分析師預計比特幣到年底將達到 10 萬美元，現在看來這一目標隨時都有可能實現。雖然 100,000 美元通常被視為一個重要的心理門檻，但有些人認為它也是一個可能的阻力位。

However, Joel Kruger market strategist at LMAX Group, says there are reasons to suspect bitcoin may overshoot the $100,000 market this year. And Bernstein projects bitcoin will reach $200,000 by 2025.

然而，LMAX 集團的市場策略師 Joel Kruger 表示，有理由懷疑比特幣今年可能突破 10 萬美元的市場。 Bernstein 預計，到 2025 年，比特幣的價格將達到 20 萬美元。

"Bitcoin has continued with the charge to fresh record highs, seemingly on a mission to take out the much talked about psychological barrier at $100,000," Kruger wrote to IBD. Kruger noted that as of early Thursday, bitcoin is up 64% in Q4. Meanwhile, bitcoin has averaged more than 80% returns in the fourth quarter since 2013.

克魯格在給 IBD 的信中寫道：“比特幣繼續衝破歷史新高，似乎肩負著消除備受爭議的 10 萬美元心理障礙的使命。”克魯格指出，截至週四早些時候，比特幣第四季上漲了 64%。同時，自 2013 年以來，比特幣第四季平均回報率超過 80%。

"The reason we bring this up is not to say the market is overextended, rather to highlight the possibility we still have more room to run in 2024," Kruger wrote, referencing the historical returns. "This leaves bitcoin with another 16% to match those average returns, which suggests we could see an overshoot of $100,000 and through $110,000 before the year is out."

「我們提出這一點的原因並不是說市場過度擴張，而是為了強調我們在 2024 年仍有更多運行空間的可能性，」克魯格在引用歷史回報時寫道。 「這使得比特幣還有 16% 的回報率與平均回報率相匹配，這表明我們可能會在年底前看到超額 100,000 美元，甚至突破 110,000 美元。”

SEC's Gensler To Step Down

SEC 的 Gensler 辭職

Meanwhile, Securities and Exchange Commission Chair Gary Gensler announced Thursday that he will step down on Jan. 20 when President-elect Donald Trump takes office.

與此同時，美國證券交易委員會主席加里·詹斯勒 (Gary Gensler) 週四宣布，他將於 1 月 20 日當選總統唐納德·特朗普 (Donald Trump) 就職後辭職。

"It has been an honor of a lifetime," Gensler said in the release. "I thank President Biden for entrusting me with this incredible responsibility. The SEC has met our mission and enforced the law without fear or favor."

「這是我一生的榮幸，」詹斯勒在新聞稿中說道。 “我感謝拜登總統賦予我這一令人難以置信的責任。美國證券交易委員會完成了我們的使命，並毫無恐懼或偏袒地執行了法律。”

Gensler, a contentious figure in the crypto industry, assumed the role in 2021. During his tenure, he has overseen a number of enforcement actions and rulemaking activities that affected digital assets. The SEC under Gensler sued a number of crypto exchanges and token projects, including Coinbase (COIN), Binance and Kraken, alleging they were unregistered brokers, clearinghouses and securities. But there were some positive developments for crypto under Gensler, as he oversaw the launch of the spot bitcoin ETFs in January.

Gensler 是加密產業中頗具爭議的人物，於 2021 年上任。 Gensler 領導下的 SEC 起訴了許多加密貨幣交易所和代幣項目，包括 Coinbase (COIN)、Binance 和 Kraken，指控它們是未註冊的經紀人、清算所和證券。但在 Gensler 的領導下，加密貨幣領域取得了一些積極的進展，他在一月份監督了現貨比特幣 ETF 的推出。

Trump on the campaign trail vowed to fire Gensler, and is reportedly considering crypto-friendly candidates to head the SEC. Although an official nominee hasn't been named, CoinDesk reported that Trump is considering Teresa Goody Guillen as his pick. Goody Guillen is co-lead of law firm BakerHostetler's blockchain practice and served as an attorney for the SEC's Office of the General Counsel from 2009 to 2011.

川普在競選過程中發誓要解僱 Gensler，據報道，他正在考慮對加密貨幣友好的候選人來擔任 SEC 主席。儘管官方提名人尚未確定，但 CoinDesk 報道稱，川普正在考慮特蕾莎古迪吉倫作為他的人選。 Goody Guillen 是 BakerHostetler 律師事務所區塊鏈業務的共同負責人，並於 2009 年至 2011 年擔任 SEC 總法律顧問辦公室的律師。

Trump Prioritizes Crypto In Final Days

川普在最後幾天優先考慮加密貨幣

The Goody Guillen reports are the latest instance of Trump making good on his campaign promise to prioritize the crypto industry.

Goody Guillen 的報告是川普兌現其優先考慮加密貨幣行業的競選承諾的最新實例。

Trump earlier this week said he plans to nominate Cantor Fitzgerald CEO Howard Lutnick to head the Department of Commerce, tasked with administering tariffs and investigating trade practices. Lutnick, an outspoken crypto advocate and cochair of Trump's transition team, may also play a role in setting policies for the digital asset industry. During the annual bitcoin conference earlier this year, Lutnick called Cantor Fitzgerald the "best investment bank for digital assets," and it also serves as the custodian for Tether, one of the most widely-used stablecoins, Barron's reported.

川普本週稍早表示，他計劃提名坎托·菲茨杰拉德(Cantor Fitzgerald)執行長霍華德·盧特尼克(Howard Lutnick)擔任商務部部長，負責管理關稅和調查貿易行為。盧特尼克是一位直言不諱的加密貨幣倡導者和川普過渡團隊的聯合主席，他也可能在製定數位資產行業政策方面發揮作用。據《巴倫周刊》報道，在今年早些時候的年度比特幣會議上，盧特尼克稱Cantor Fitzgerald 為“數位資產最佳投資銀行”，該銀行還擔任Tether 的託管人，Tether 是使用最廣泛的穩定幣之一。

Lutnick also at that conference said he is "a fan" of bitcoin and "of course" he owns bitcoin.

盧特尼克也在該會議上表示，他是比特幣的“粉絲”，“當然”他擁有比特幣。

The Trump team is also considering a new White House crypto role, which would be the first of its kind and solely focused on cryptocurrency policy, Bloomberg reported citing unnamed sources. The Trump transition team is reportedly vetting candidates, with crypto industry advocates pushing for the role to have a direct line to the president.

彭博社引述未透露姓名的消息來源報道稱，川普團隊還在考慮設立一個新的白宮加密貨幣角色，這將是此類角色中的第一個，並且只專注於加密貨幣政策。據報道，川普過渡團隊正在審查候選人，加密貨幣行業的倡導者推動該職位與總統有直接聯繫。

Elsewhere, Truth Social parent Trump Media & Technology (DJT) is reportedly closing in on a deal to acquire crypto trading firm Bakkt (BKKT), according to reports earlier in the week.

根據本週稍早的報道，Truth Social 母公司 Trump Media & Technology (DJT) 即將達成收購加密貨幣交易公司 Bakkt (BKKT) 的交易。
