1) 比特币 ETF 获批（1 月 11 日）

The year began amid growing expectations that the U.S Securities and Exchange Commission would approve the listing of Bitcoin spot Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs) after years of resistance.

今年年初，人们越来越期待美国证券交易委员会在经历了多年的阻力后将批准比特币现货交易所交易基金（ETF）上市。

The announcement finally came on January 11 2024, but not after some drama. Hours ahead of the announcement, the SEC released a tweet declaring the ETFs approved, only for Chairman, Gary Gensler, to claim the organization’s X (Twitter) account had been hacked.

该公告最终于 2024 年 1 月 11 日发布，但并非在发生了一些戏剧性事件之后。在宣布这一消息的几个小时前，美国证券交易委员会发布了一条推文，宣布 ETF 获得批准，但主席加里·根斯勒 (Gary Gensler) 声称该组织的 X (Twitter) 帐户遭到黑客攻击。

When the approval was announced, it came via a notice by SEC Secretary, Vanessa Countryman.

当批准宣布时，是通过 SEC 秘书 Vanessa Countryman 发出的通知发出的。

“While we approved the listing and trading of certain spot Bitcoin ETP shares today, we did not approve or endorse Bitcoin. Investors should remain cautious about the myriad risks associated with Bitcoin and products whose value is tied to crypto,” said SEC Chair Gary Gensler in a statement.

“虽然我们今天批准了某些现货比特币 ETP 股票的上市和交易，但我们并未批准或认可比特币。投资者应该对与比特币以及其价值与加密货币相关的产品相关的无数风险保持谨慎，”SEC 主席加里·根斯勒 (Gary Gensler) 在一份声明中表示。

As of December 27 2024, the cumulative net inflow of funds into the products is $35.66 billion, according to SoSo value. Altogether the ETFs hold $106.8 billion in total net assets, which equates to 5.70% of the Bitcoin market cap.

2) The 4th Bitcoin Halving (April 20)

2）比特币第四次减半（4月20日）

Bitcoin’s 4th halving event was the second biggest moment in crypto in 2024.

比特币第四次减半事件是 2024 年加密货币第二大时刻。

The halvings are designed to happen automatically every 210,000 blocks, which translates to approximately every four years. When a halving occurs, miners see a 50% reduction in the number of bitcoins they receive as a reward for mining and adding blocks to the blockchain.

减半设计为每 210,000 个区块自动发生一次，相当于大约每四年一次。当减半发生时，矿工们收到的比特币数量会减少 50%，作为挖矿和向区块链添加区块的奖励。

Bitcoin had experienced three halving events before:

比特币此前曾经历过三次减半事件：

On the same day, Bitcoin witnessed more innovation with the introduction of Runes protocol, a second standard used for creating NFTs on the Bitcoin blockchain.

同一天，随着 Runes 协议的引入，比特币见证了更多创新，这是用于在比特币区块链上创建 NFT 的第二个标准。

Introduced by Casey Rodarmor, the founder of the Ordinal Protocol, Runes proposes a new token standard that simplifies the process of creating fungible (replaceable by an identical item) tokens that can be used and managed on the Bitcoin network.

Runes 由 Ordinal Protocol 的创始人 Casey Rodarmor 提出，提出了一种新的代币标准，该标准简化了创建可在比特币网络上使用和管理的可替代（可被相同物品替换）代币的过程。

Prior to that, ordinal inscriptions based on the Ordinal Protocol, had become popular among some Bitcoin users with Yuga Labs revealing in March that they made over $16 million (735.7 bitcoin) from the auction of 300 bitcoin NFTs.

在此之前，基于序数协议的序数铭文在一些比特币用户中很受欢迎，Yuga Labs 在 3 月份透露，他们从拍卖 300 个比特币 NFT 中赚取了超过 1600 万美元（735.7 比特币）。

3) Approval of ETH ETFs (May 23)

3) ETH ETF 获批（5 月 23 日）

The United States Securities Exchange Commission granted accelerated approval to stock exchanges to list and trade shares of Ether ETFs late on May 23 2024 (American time).

美国证券交易委员会于 2024 年 5 月 23 日晚（美国时间）加速批准证券交易所上市和交易以太坊 ETF 股票。

The announcement set the stage for the listing of Ether ETF products by applicant institutions, most of whom had a few months earlier launched Bitcoin ETFs.

该公告为申请机构上市以太坊 ETF 产品奠定了基础，其中大多数机构在几个月前就推出了比特币 ETF。

The institutional products include the following:

As of December 27 2024, the cumulative net inflow of funds into the products is $2.68 billion, according to SoSo value. The ETFs hold $12.11 billion in total net assets, which equates to 3.01% of the Ether market cap.

共和党候选人当选总统唐纳德·特朗普即将在 2024 年 11 月 5 日举行的美国总统选举中获胜，这是今年加密货币最重要的时刻之一，因为它在美国和世界各地的加密货币追随者中引发了希望和热情。

Bitcoin rose above $75,000 on November 6 2024 when it became clear that Trump was going to defeat Democrat candidate Vice President, Kamala Harris, kick-starting a series of new ATHs for Bitcoin ahead of its current ATH of $108,135 achieved on December 17 2024.

2024 年 11 月 6 日，当特朗普明显将击败民主党候选人副总统卡马拉·哈里斯 (Kamala Harris) 时，比特币价格升至 75,000 美元以上，在 2024 年 12 月 17 日达到 108,135 美元的当前 ATH 之前，启动了一系列新的 ATH。
