周三，比特币价格创下新高，投资者押注前唐纳德·特朗普在美国总统大选中的胜利将给加密货币带来福音。

Bitcoin jumped nearly eight per cent in early trading, climbing above $75,000 US and smashing its previous record set in March. Other cryptocurrencies also soared, including ether, the world's second most popular cryptocurrency after bitcoin, which rallied eight per cent.

比特币在早盘交易中上涨近 8%，升至 75,000 美元以上，打破了 3 月份创下的纪录。其他加密货币也大幅上涨，其中包括以太币，这是仅次于比特币的全球第二大加密货币，上涨了 8%。

Another token, dogecoin, rocketed as much as 18 per cent. It's the favourite cryptocurrency of billionaire Elon Musk, one of Trump's most prominent supporters.

另一种代币狗狗币的涨幅高达 18%。这是亿万富翁埃隆·马斯克（特朗普最著名的支持者之一）最喜欢的加密货币。

Crypto-related shares outran the rest of the stock market. Coinbase, one of the biggest cryptocurrency exchanges, leaped 17 per cent. Online brokerage Robinhood Markets, which offers crypto trading, soared 12 per cent and MicroStrategy, which says it is the "largest corporate holder of bitcoin," jumped 10 per cent.

Trump was previously a crypto skeptic, but changed his mind and embraced cryptocurrencies ahead of the election.

特朗普此前是加密货币怀疑论者，但在大选前改变了主意并接受了加密货币。

He has pledged to make America "the crypto capital of the planet" and create a "strategic reserve" of bitcoin. His campaign accepted donations in cryptocurrency and he courted crypto fans at a bitcoin conference in July. He also launched World Liberty Financial, a new venture with family members to trade cryptocurrencies.

他承诺让美国成为“地球的加密之都”，并创建比特币的“战略储备”。他的竞选活动接受了加密货币捐款，并在 7 月份的一次比特币会议上吸引了加密货币粉丝。他还创办了 World Liberty Financial，这是一家与家族成员一起交易加密货币的新企业。

Bitcoin is up 77 per cent this year.

比特币今年上涨了 77%。

"Bitcoin is the one asset that was always going to soar if Trump returned to the White House," said Russ Mould, investment director at AJ Bell, a British online investment platform. After touching its new high, the market is now speculating about "when, not if, it will smash through $100,000 US," he said.

英国在线投资平台 AJ Bell 的投资总监 Russ Mould 表示：“如果特朗普重返白宫，比特币是一种总是会飙升的资产。”他表示，在触及新高后，市场现在正在猜测“何时，而不是是否会突破 10 万美元”。

"Trump has already declared his love of the digital currency and crypto traders now have a new narrative by which to get even more excited about where the price could go," Mould said.

莫尔德表示：“特朗普已经宣布了他对数字货币的热爱，而加密货币交易者现在有了新的叙述方式，可以对价格的走向更加兴奋。”

But other experts warned of the risks.

但其他专家警告了其中的风险。

"Investors should only dabble in crypto with money that they can be prepared to lose," said Susannah Streeter, head of money and markets at Hargreaves Lansdown. "Because we've seen these wild swings in the past."

Hargreaves Lansdown 货币和市场主管 Susannah Streeter 表示：“投资者应该只用可以准备损失的资金来涉足加密货币。” “因为我们过去见过这些剧烈的波动。”

Industry welcomes Trump

业界欢迎特朗普

Crypto industry players welcomed Trump's victory, in hopes that he would be able to push through legislative and regulatory changes that they've long lobbied for.

加密行业参与者对特朗普的胜利表示欢迎，希望他能够推动他们长期以来一直游说的立法和监管改革。

Trump had already promised that, if elected, he would remove the chair of the Securities and Exchange Commission, Gary Gensler, who has been leading the U.S. government's crackdown on the crypto industry.

特朗普已经承诺，如果当选，他将罢免美国证券交易委员会主席加里·詹斯勒(Gary Gensler)，后者一直领导美国政府打击加密货币行业。

"Tonight the crypto voter has spoken decisively — across party lines and in key races across the country," said Brian Armstrong, CEO of Coinbase, one of the biggest cryptocurrency exchanges.

最大的加密货币交易所之一 Coinbase 首席执行官布莱恩·阿姆斯特朗 (Brian Armstrong) 表示：“今晚，加密货币选民在全国各地的关键竞选中跨越党派界限，发表了果断的言论。”

"Americans disproportionately care about crypto and want clear rules of the road for digital assets. We look forward to working with the new Congress to deliver it," Armstrong posted on X.

阿姆斯特朗在 X 上发帖称：“美国人过分关心加密货币，并希望为数字资产制定明确的规则。我们期待与新一届国会合作来实现这一目标。”

Streeter said Trump's administration would most likely pursue "light touch regulation" for the crypto industry.   

斯特里特表示，特朗普政府很可能会对加密行业实行“宽松监管”。

"Certainly that's what crypto fans would want," she said. "They want the sheen of legitimacy to be brought to crypto, but they don't want regulations to be too onerous to stop opportunities and innovation."

“这当然是加密货币粉丝想要的，”她说。 “他们希望给加密货币带来合法性的光彩，但他们不希望监管过于繁琐而阻碍机会和创新。”
