投资者瞄准 10 万美元里程碑，比特币金库创历史新高

自前总统唐纳德·特朗普连任以来，世界上最受欢迎的加密货币的价值已飙升 31%

Bitcoin soared to a record high on Thursday, surging more than 3% in early trading and hurtling toward investors’ long-sought milestone of $100,000.

比特币周四飙升至历史新高，早盘交易中飙升超过 3%，冲向投资者长期追求的 10 万美元里程碑。

The price of bitcoin briefly exceeded $98,000 for the first time on Thursday morning, before retreating to about $97,600.

周四上午，比特币价格首次短暂突破 98,000 美元，随后回落至 97,600 美元左右。

The value of the world’s most popular cryptocurrency has soared 31% since the reelection of former President Donald Trump, who is widely viewed as friendly toward digital currency.

自被广泛认为对数字货币友好的前总统唐纳德·特朗普连任以来，全球最受欢迎的加密货币的价值已飙升 31%。

By comparison, the S&P 500 has climbed 2.4% since Election Day, while the tech-heavy Nasdaq has increased 2.6%.

相比之下，标准普尔 500 指数自选举日以来已上涨 2.4%，而以科技股为主的纳斯达克指数则上涨 2.6%。

The run-up of bitcoin extended to other parts of the crypto industry. Ether, the second-largest cryptocurrency, jumped 8% in early trading on Thursday. Lesser-known litecoin rose nearly 6%, and dogecoin ticked up more than 2%.

比特币的崛起延伸到了加密行业的其他领域。第二大加密货币以太币周四早盘上涨 8%。不太知名的莱特币上涨近 6%，狗狗币上涨超过 2%。

On the campaign trail, Trump vowed to bolster the cryptocurrency sector and ease regulations enforced by the Biden administration. Trump also promised to establish the federal government's first National Strategic Bitcoin Reserve.

在竞选过程中，特朗普发誓要支持加密货币行业并放松拜登政府实施的监管。特朗普还承诺建立联邦政府第一个国家战略比特币储备。

Trump said he would replace Securities and Exchange Commission Chair Gary Gensler, whom many crypto proponents dislike for what they perceive as a robust approach to crypto regulation.

特朗普表示，他将接替美国证券交易委员会主席加里·詹斯勒 (Gary Gensler)，许多加密货币支持者不喜欢加里·詹斯勒 (Gary Gensler)，因为他们认为他对加密货币监管采取了强有力的做法。

In July, Trump told the audience at a cryptocurrency conference in Nashville, Tenn., that he wanted to turn the U.S. into the “crypto capital of the planet.”

7 月，特朗普在田纳西州纳什维尔举行的加密货币会议上告诉观众，他希望将美国变成“地球的加密货币之都”。

“I’m calling it the ‘election dividend,'” James Butterfill, head of research at digital asset management firm CoinShares, told ABC News. “We went from being worried about a Democrat getting elected to what we’ve got: a Republican clean sweep.”

“我称之为‘选举红利’，”数字资产管理公司 CoinShares 的研究主管詹姆斯·巴特菲尔 (James Butterfill) 告诉美国广播公司新闻 (ABC News)。 “我们从担心民主党当选，变成了现在的情况：共和党大获全胜。”

The recent rise follows a period of stellar returns that stretches back to last year. The price of bitcoin has soared more than 150% since November 2023. Over that period, the S&P 500 has climbed about 30%.

最近的上涨是在去年以来一段时期的出色回报之后出现的。自 2023 年 11 月以来，比特币的价格已飙升超过 150%。在此期间，标准普尔 500 指数已上涨约 30%。

Those gains have been propelled, in part, by U.S. approval in January of bitcoin ETFs, or exchange-traded funds. Bitcoin ETFs allow investors to buy into an asset that tracks the price movement of bitcoin, while avoiding the inconvenience and risk of purchasing the crypto coin itself.

这些涨幅在一定程度上得益于美国在一月份批准比特币 ETF（即交易所交易基金）。比特币 ETF 允许投资者购买追踪比特币价格变动的资产，同时避免购买加密货币本身的不便和风险。

Options trading for bitcoin ETFs

比特币 ETF 期权交易

On Tuesday, options on BlackRock's popular iShares Bitcoin Trust ETF (IBIT) were made available for trading on the Nasdaq. The options, which provide a new avenue for bitcoin investors, allow individuals to commit to buy or sell the ETF at a given price by a specific date. While such investments typically come with additional risk, they can also make large payouts.

周二，贝莱德广受欢迎的 iShares 比特币信托 ETF (IBIT) 期权在纳斯达克上市交易。这些期权为比特币投资者提供了新的途径，允许个人承诺在特定日期之前以给定价格购买或出售 ETF。虽然此类投资通常会带来额外的风险，但它们也可以获得巨额回报。

The price of IBIT jumped 3.1% on Thursday.

周四 IBIT 价格上涨 3.1%。

The newly available options may account for some of the rise in the price of bitcoin over recent days, Bryan Armour, the director of passive strategies research at financial firm Morningstar, told ABC News.

金融公司晨星公司被动策略研究主管 Bryan Armour 告诉美国广播公司新闻，新推出的期权可能是最近几天比特币价格上涨的部分原因。

“The options add volatility on top of volatility, which has interested some of the crypto investors,” Armour said.

Armor 表示：“这些期权除了波动性之外还增加了波动性，这引起了一些加密货币投资者的兴趣。”

The crypto industry entered this year bruised after a series of high-profile collapses and company scandals.

在一系列备受瞩目的倒闭和公司丑闻之后，加密货币行业今年元气大伤。

FTX, a multibillion-dollar cryptocurrency exchange co-founded by Sam Bankman-Fried, collapsed in November 2022. The implosion set off a 17-month legal saga that resulted in the conviction of Bankman-Fried for fraud. In April, Bankman-Fried was sentenced to 25 years in prison.

FTX 是 Sam Bankman-Fried 共同创立的价值数十亿美元的加密货币交易所，于 2022 年 11 月倒闭。这场内爆引发了一场长达 17 个月的法律传奇，导致 Bankman-Fried 因欺诈被定罪。 4 月，班克曼-弗里德被判处 25 年监禁。

The surge of bitcoin since Election Day may continue for the foreseeable future, since past periods of momentum have been shown to propel the cryptocurrency, Armour said. But crypto investments remain highly volatile, he added, recommending that the asset make up no more than 5% of a person’s portfolio.

Armor 表示，自选举日以来，比特币的飙升可能会在可预见的未来持续下去，因为过去的势头已被证明可以推动加密货币的发展。但他补充说，加密货币投资仍然高度波动，建议该资产占个人投资组合的比例不超过 5%。

“It’s notoriously difficult to provide a value for bitcoin’s price,” Armour said. “It can go up; it can go down.”

“众所周知，提供比特币价格的价值是非常困难的，”阿莫尔说。 “它可以上涨；它可能会下降。”

“I would continue to keep any allocation small,” Armour added.

“我将继续保持较小的分配规模，”阿莫尔补充道。
