加密货币行业庆祝特朗普当选胜利，比特币触及 80,000 美元历史新高

比特币今年上涨了 80%，令标准普尔 500 指数今年 25.7% 的涨幅相形见绌。在短暂触及 80,000 美元里程碑后，比特币周日上午的交易价格略低于该水平。

Bitcoin hit a new record Sunday morning, continuing its rally in the wake of Donald Trump’s presidential election victory.

周日上午，比特币创下新纪录，在唐纳德·特朗普赢得总统选举后继续上涨。

Bitcoin was last up 80 per cent in 2024, far outpacing the S&P 500’s still-stellar 25.7 per cent gain this year. After briefly hitting the $80,000 milestone, bitcoin was trading just below it Sunday mid-morning.

比特币上次上涨 80% 是在 2024 年，远远超过了标准普尔 500 指数今年 25.7% 的强劲涨幅。在短暂触及 80,000 美元里程碑后，比特币周日上午的交易价格略低于该水平。

The crypto industry largely sees Trump’s victory as a bullish sign for bitcoin and other digital currencies. Despite Trump’s earlier bitcoin skepticism — he once said the crypto "was based on thin air" — he has fully embraced crypto in recent months, unlike the Biden administration, which has sought to rein in crypto.

加密行业在很大程度上将特朗普的胜利视为比特币和其他数字货币的看涨信号。尽管特朗普早些时候对比特币持怀疑态度——他曾表示加密货币“是凭空而来”——但他在最近几个月完全接受了加密货币，这与试图控制加密货币的拜登政府不同。

One major reason for Trump’s crypto about-face: He now has a financial stake in the crypto industry. In September, Trump and his children launched a new crypto business called World Liberty Financial.

特朗普对加密货币态度大转变的一个主要原因是：他现在在加密货币行业拥有财务股份。 9 月，特朗普和他的孩子们推出了一项名为 World Liberty Financial 的新加密业务。

“It’s very young and very growing,” Trump said of the cryptocurrency industry on September 16 while unveiling World Liberty Financial. “I do believe in it.”

9 月 16 日，特朗普在推出 World Liberty Financial 时谈到加密货币行业时表示：“它非常年轻，而且正在成长。” “我确实相信这一点。”

The Biden administration, on the other hand, has been much more skeptical of crypto. Securities and Exchange Commission Chairman Gary Gensler said in June 2021, in one of his first speeches in his then-new job, that crypto was “ripe with fraud, scams and abuses.”

另一方面，拜登政府对加密货币持更加怀疑的态度。 2021 年 6 月，美国证券交易委员会主席加里·詹斯勒 (Gary Gensler) 在他上任后的第一次演讲中表示，加密货币“欺诈、诈骗和滥用行为已经成熟”。

Gensler’s SEC sued several crypto companies and worked to regulate the industry, which the chairman said he believed was at least partially made up of securities that were being traded illegally. The SEC also partnered with other regulators, including the Department of Justice, in going after crypto fraudsters — most notably Sam Bankman-Fried, the former CEO of FTX.

Gensler 的 SEC 起诉了几家加密货币公司，并致力于监管该行业，主席表示，他认为该行业至少部分由非法交易的证券组成。 SEC 还与包括司法部在内的其他监管机构合作，追捕加密货币欺诈者，其中最著名的是 FTX 前首席执行官 Sam Bankman-Fried。

Gensler slow-walked — but ultimately approved — a bitcoin exchange-traded fund, allowing people to add exposure to cryptocurrencies in their retirement accounts. In January 2024, Gensler’s X account was hacked, and his account falsely announced that the long-awaited bitcoin ETF was open for business, which temporarily sent cryptocurrencies soaring.

Gensler 进展缓慢，但最终批准了比特币交易所交易基金，允许人们在退休账户中增加对加密货币的投资。 2024 年 1 月，Gensler 的 X 账户被黑客入侵，他的账户错误地宣布期待已久的比特币 ETF 开业，这使得加密货币暂时暴涨。

Trump said in August that cryptocurrencies could “define the future,” and he wanted them "mined, minted and made in the USA." The president-elect also proposed a strategic national bitcoin stockpile, where the U.S. government would directly purchase and invest in cryptocurrencies as a national security measure.

特朗普在八月份表示，加密货币可以“定义未来”，他希望它们“在美国开采、铸造和制造”。这位当选总统还提议建立一个战略性的国家比特币储备，美国政府将直接购买和投资加密货币，作为国家安全措施。

Elon Musk, one of Trump’s most prominent and vocal supporters, is also a well-known crypto bull. Musk’s favorite coin, Dogecoin, was up more than 20 per cent on Sunday and had been rallying all last week.

埃隆·马斯克是特朗普最著名和最直言不讳的支持者之一，也是一位著名的加密货币牛市者。马斯克最喜欢的加密货币狗狗币周日上涨了 20% 以上，并且上周一直在上涨。
