隨著 DOT、BCH、UNI 和 LINK 的激增，實用加密貨幣順應比特幣的後期反彈

在加密貨幣世界裡，用一句老話說，水漲船高。這確實是本週的動態

As the presidential election nears its conclusion and crypto prices continue their late-2024 rally, several utility coins and tokens have posted impressive gains. Among them are Polkadot (CRYPTO: DOT), Bitcoin Cash (CRYPTO: BCH), Uniswap (CRYPTO: UNI), and Chainlink (CRYPTO: LINK).

隨著總統選舉接近尾聲，加密貨幣價格繼續 2024 年底的上漲勢頭，多種實用代幣和代幣都出現了令人印象深刻的漲幅。其中包括 Polkadot（加密貨幣：DOT）、比特幣現金（加密貨幣：BCH）、Uniswap（加密貨幣：UNI）和 Chainlink（加密貨幣：LINK）。

Here's a closer look at their performance this week.

以下是他們本週的表現的詳細介紹。

1. Polkadot (DOT)

1. 波卡（DOT）

Fresh off a 15% gain the previous week, Polkadot continued its hot streak with another 22% gain week to date as of Friday before market open. This brought DOT to a price of $20.84. Polkadot is a proof-of-stake cryptocurrency that serves as a platform for building decentralized applications and other blockchains.

繼上週上漲 15% 後，Polkadot 繼續保持火爆勢頭，截至週五開市前，本週迄今又上漲了 22%。這使得 DOT 的價格達到 20.84 美元。 Polkadot 是一種權益證明加密貨幣，可作為建立去中心化應用程式和其他區塊鏈的平台。

2. Bitcoin Cash (BCH)

2. 比特幣現金（BCH）

Another cryptocurrency that had a strong week was Bitcoin Cash, which rose by 15%. This pushed BCH to a price of $362. As its name suggests, Bitcoin Cash is a fork of the original Bitcoin (CRYPTO: BTC) that was created in 2017. It is designed to handle faster and cheaper transactions than Bitcoin.

另一種本週表現強勁的加密貨幣是比特幣現金，上漲了 15%。這將 BCH 的價格推至 362 美元。顧名思義，比特幣現金是 2017 年創建的原始比特幣（加密貨幣：BTC）的一個分支。

3. Uniswap (UNI)

3.Uniswap（UNI）

Uniswap, the native token of the decentralized exchange of the same name, also saw a solid increase of 11% this week. As of Friday, UNI was trading at $12.18. Uniswap allows users to trade cryptocurrencies directly with each other, without the need for a middleman.

同名去中心化交易所的原生代幣 Uniswap 本周也實現了 11% 的穩健成長。截至週五，UNI 的交易價格為 12.18 美元。 Uniswap 讓用戶直接相互交易加密貨幣，而無需中間人。

4. Chainlink (LINK)

4. 鏈環（LINK）

Rounding out the list of impressive gainers this week was Chainlink, which rose by 12%. This brought LINK to a price of $10.88. Chainlink is a decentralized oracle network that provides smart contracts with access to off-chain data.

Chainlink 本週上漲了 12%。這使得 LINK 的價格達到 10.88 美元。 Chainlink 是一個去中心化的預言機網絡，為智慧合約提供對鏈外資料的存取。

Rising tides and crypto bellwethers

不斷上漲的浪潮和加密貨幣領頭羊

This big wave of crypto enthusiasm has been with us since the presidential election, which has served to galvanize the world's growing ranks of crypto-heads. President-elect Donald Trump has both indicated support for the industry and has even been involved recently in a crypto project, World Liberty Financial.

自總統選舉以來，這股加密貨幣熱情一直伴隨著我們，這刺激了世界上不斷增長的加密貨幣領袖隊伍。當選總統唐納德·川普都表示了對該行業的支持，甚至最近還參與了一個加密項目「世界自由金融」。

Another development at the government level is the news on Thursday that Gary Gensler, the chair of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), will be stepping down on Inauguration Day. Gensler was at times a proponent of tighter regulation of cryptocurrencies and is generally considered to be outright opposed to them. His replacement will almost certainly be more amenable to not only their continued existence, but also their expansion.

政府層面的另一個進展是周四有消息稱，美國證券交易委員會 (SEC) 主席加里·根斯勒 (Gary Gensler) 將在就職日當天辭職。 Gensler 有時是對加密貨幣進行更嚴格監管的支持者，但通常被認為是完全反對的。他的繼任者幾乎肯定不僅會更願意接受他們的繼續存在，而且會更願意接受他們的擴張。

As the trading week came to a close, all eyes were on Bitcoin, ever this fascinating asset class's bellwether. As of early Friday morning its price was heavily teasing $100,000 apiece, quite a milestone for what some critics still decry as "funny money." Almost needless to say, hitting or exceeding that level would put it at a new all-time high. It would also be likely to extend the rally all on its own.

隨著交易週接近尾聲，所有人的目光都集中在比特幣上，比特幣一直是這個迷人資產類別的領導者。截至週五凌晨，其價格已達到每張 10 萬美元，對於一些評論家仍譴責為「有趣的錢」來說，這是一個相當大的里程碑。幾乎不用說，達到或超過該水平將使其達到新的歷史高點。它也有可能獨自延長漲勢。

Anytime an indicator asset like Bitcoin scales heights like that on a surge of bullishness, investors start to hunt around for comparable investments that might produce better returns. Utility cryptos fit this bill, as they're less volatile than, say, meme coins, and they coat-tail quite nicely behind the leader. Bitcoin Cash even has the vaunted Bitcoin name in its title.

每當像比特幣這樣的指標資產在看漲情緒高漲時達到這樣的高度，投資人就會開始尋找可能產生更好回報的類似投資。實用型加密貨幣符合這項要求，因為它們比模因幣等波動性更小，而且它們很好地追隨了領先者。比特幣現金甚至在其標題中包含了備受推崇的比特幣名稱。

It might start cooling down

它可能會開始冷卻

Not to be a downer, but the longer a financial rally lasts, the harder it is to sustain. This one feels late-stage to me, not least because it seems to be reaching a point where it requires constant fuel -- i.e., crypto-positive news items -- to keep up the burn. Investors can never really predict events like an SEC chair's resignation, but so far there are no signs of serious market-moving developments racing down the pike. Crypto investors will surely be hoping I'm wrong.

不是要表現得很沮喪，但金融反彈持續的時間越長，就越難維持。對我來說，這感覺已經是後期了，尤其是因為它似乎已經達到了需要持續不斷的燃料（即加密貨幣積極的新聞報道）來維持燃燒的地步。投資者永遠無法真正預測美國證券交易委員會主席辭職等事件，但到目前為止，還沒有跡象表明會出現嚴重影響市場的發展。加密貨幣投資者肯定希望我錯了。
