尽管比特币尚未在越南合法化，但预计将成为 2025 年最赚钱的投资工具之一

2024 年标志着数字货币的历史记录，其价格于 12 月 5 日突破每比特币 10 万美元，并于 12 月 17 日达到每比特币 108,000 美元的峰值。

Despite being illegal in Vietnam, bitcoin is predicted to be one of the most lucrative investment instruments in 2025.

尽管比特币在越南是非法的，但预计到 2025 年将成为最有利可图的投资工具之一。

The digital currency hit a historic high in 2024, with its price surpassing US$100,000 per bitcoin on 5 December and peaking at US$108,000/bitcoin on 17 December.

这种数字货币在 2024 年创下历史新高，其价格于 12 月 5 日突破每比特币 10 万美元，并于 12 月 17 日达到每比特币 108,000 美元的峰值。

It then dropped to US$92,000/bitcoin on 20 December last year after the US Federal Reserve chair Jerome Powell stated that the institution was not permitted to own bitcoin and did not wish to change the laws to do so. However, the price recovered quickly to nearly US$99,000/bitcoin in the final days of 2024 as large investors continued to buy and hold.

去年 12 月 20 日，在美联储主席杰罗姆·鲍威尔表示该机构不允许拥有比特币并且不希望为此改变法律后，比特币价格跌至 92,000 美元/比特币。然而，随着大型投资者继续买入并持有，比特币价格在 2024 年最后几天迅速回升至近 99,000 美元/比特币。

The price was listed at US$97,680/bitcoin on 4 January at 10.45pm by CoinMarketCap, a price-tracking website for crypto assets, showing an increase of 0.22% in the last 24 hours.

1 月 4 日晚上 10 点 45 分，加密资产价格跟踪网站 CoinMarketCap 公布的价格为 97,680 美元/比特币，过去 24 小时内上涨了 0.22%。

Major cryptos have seen positive growth since the beginning of the year, with bitcoin increasing by 130%, ethereum by 52%, bnb by 124%, and dogecoin by over 300%.

自今年年初以来，主要加密货币都出现了正增长，比特币增长了 130%，以太坊增长了 52%，bnb 增长了 124%，狗狗币增长了 300% 以上。

2024 also saw a historic turning point for cryptos with the introduction of exchange-traded funds (ETF) of bitcoin and ethereum, the second-biggest cryptocurrency by market capitalisation after bitcoin. This signifies the organised participation of institutional investors and top global professional asset managers in the digital currency market.

2024 年，随着比特币和以太坊（按市值计算，仅次于比特币的第二大加密货币）推出了交易所交易基金（ETF），加密货币也迎来了历史性转折点。这标志着机构投资者和全球顶级专业资产管理公司有组织地参与数字货币市场。

ETF 是一种投资工具，将股票、债券、加密货币和其他类型的资产等一组证券组合成基金。

It can be traded on an exchange like an individual stock.

Investors in bitcoin and other digital currencies are looking forward to Donald Trump’s presidency as he has promised ‘friendly’ policies towards the crypto industry.

比特币和其他数字货币的投资者期待唐纳德·特朗普担任总统，因为他承诺对加密行业采取“友好”政策。

A Council of Advisers for Digital Assets is being formed after the US Blockchain Association sent a letter to the President-elect and the US Congress, urging them to adopt policies that will promote the adoption of digital assets in the first 100 days of his presidency.

美国区块链协会致信当选总统和美国国会，敦促他们在总统任期的前 100 天内采取促进数字资产采用的政策，随后成立了数字资产顾问委员会。

Earlier, during his presidential campaign, Trump had mentioned the idea of creating a bitcoin reserve when he took office several times.

此前，特朗普在总统竞选期间曾多次提到上任时建立比特币储备的想法。

“I believe the price of cryptocurrencies will continue to grow in 2025. This is an unconventional investment channel in Vietnam.

“我相信加密货币的价格将在2025年继续增长。这是越南的非常规投资渠道。

“But in reality, many Vietnamese are investing in and holding cryptocurrencies,” he said.

“The government needs to quickly issue a legal framework for digital assets and digital currencies to both protect investors and prevent tax evasion.”

Due to their perceived lucrativeness, frauds related to digital currency trading are very common in Vietnam.

由于其利润丰厚，与数字货币交易相关的欺诈在越南非常常见。

A prime recent example is the case of Pho Duc Nam from Ba Ria–Vung Tau Province, who is known on the social media platform TikTok as Mr Pips and lured more than 2,600 people into foreign exchange and derivatives trading and got assets worth 5.2 trillion dong seized or frozen by the authorities.

最近的一个典型例子是巴地头顿省的 Pho Duc Nam 案，他在社交媒体平台 TikTok 上被称为 Mr Pips，吸引了 2,600 多人进入外汇和衍生品交易，并获得了价值 5.2 万亿盾的资产被当局扣押或冻结。
