交易量最高的 6 种加密货币——你也应该投资吗？

比特币是最知名的加密货币，其价值在 2024 年已跃升超过 135%。随着一波对加密货币友好的政客准备上任

Cryptocurrency has had a banner year in 2024, with Bitcoin leading the charge and minting new millionaires. But which cryptocurrencies saw the highest trading volume in 2024? And more importantly, should you consider adding them to your portfolio, too?

加密货币在 2024 年迎来了辉煌的一年，比特币引领潮流并创造了新的百万富翁。但 2024 年哪些加密货币的交易量最高？更重要的是，您是否也应该考虑将它们添加到您的投资组合中？

Here’s a look at the six cryptocurrencies with the highest trading volume in 2024.

以下是 2024 年交易量最高的六种加密货币。

1. Tether, USD Coin and Other Stablecoins

1. Tether、美元币和其他稳定币

The coin with the highest trading volume isn’t actually an investment coin, but a stablecoin. As of this writing, Tether saw a 24-hour trading volume of 186.44 billion, according to Yahoo Finance’s volume rankings.

交易量最高的币实际上不是投资币，而是稳定币。根据雅虎财经的交易量排名，截至撰写本文时，Tether 的 24 小时交易量为 1864.4 亿美元。

Stablecoins are tied to a specific currency. In the case of Tether and USD Coin (the coin with the sixth-highest volume), they’re designed to trade at the same price as the U.S. dollar. They work by backing each coin with an actual dollar in a real bank account.

稳定币与特定货币挂钩。就 Tether 和美元硬币（交易量排名第六的硬币）而言，它们的交易价格与美元相同。他们的工作方式是用真实银行账户中的实际美元来支持每枚硬币。

“These aren’t investments; they function more like the crypto equivalent of cash,” explained Joe DiSanto, financial consultant and founder of Play Louder. “They’re frequently used when buying or selling cryptocurrencies or holding funds temporarily. Their high trading volume reflects this utility, not investment potential.”

“这些不是投资；而是投资。”它们的功能更像是现金的加密货币，”财务顾问兼 Play Louder 创始人 Joe DiSanto 解释道。 “它们在买卖加密货币或临时持有资金时经常使用。它们的高交易量反映了这种效用，而不是投资潜力。”

In other words, people use them like a real currency: to pay for things or otherwise transfer value. But they aren’t designed to go up in value — quite the opposite, in fact.

换句话说，人们将它们当作真正的货币来使用：用于支付物品或以其他方式转移价值。但它们并不是为了升值而设计的——事实上恰恰相反。

2. Bitcoin

2. 比特币

The first and most famous of all cryptocurrencies, everyone knows Bitcoin.

所有加密货币中第一个也是最著名的，每个人都知道比特币。

Nic Puckrin, the CEO and co-founder of crypto education platform CoinBureau, made the case for Bitcoin:

加密货币教育平台 CoinBureau 的首席执行官兼联合创始人 Nic Puckrin 为比特币做了阐述：

“To the skeptics, I would say that Bitcoin is the only asset in the world where a protocol-defined supply is not impacted by price,” Puckrin said. “It’s the only fully permissionless and decentralized asset that cannot be seized by a higher power. It’s the only asset that can be easily stored and sent without the need for a third party.

“对于怀疑论者，我想说比特币是世界上唯一一种协议定义的供应不受价格影响的资产，”帕克林说。 “这是唯一一种完全无需许可且去中心化的资产，不能被更高权力夺取。它是唯一可以轻松存储和发送而无需第三方的资产。

“Moreover, the U.S. is considering a Bitcoin strategic reserve, and the BlackRock IBIT [exchange-traded fund] ETF was the fastest growing in history. More importantly, people all around the world are using it as a medium of exchange and store of value.”

“此外，美国正在考虑建立比特币战略储备，而贝莱德 IBIT（交易所交易基金）ETF 是历史上增长最快的。更重要的是，世界各地的人们都在使用它作为交换媒介和价值储存手段。”

Puckrin makes a compelling case, and the coin’s performance in 2024 has certainly exceeded expectations. Just don’t bet the proverbial farm on Bitcoin, or any other cryptocurrency.

Puckrin 提出了一个令人信服的案例，该代币在 2024 年的表现肯定超出了预期。只是不要把众所周知的农场押注于比特币或任何其他加密货币。

3. Ethereum

3.以太坊

The third-highest cryptocurrency by trading volume comes as no surprise: Bitcoin’s not-so-little brother Ethereum.

按交易量计算第三大加密货币毫不奇怪：比特币的兄弟以太坊。

While it hasn’t exploded in value at the same pace as Bitcoin this year, Ethereum hasn’t exactly slacked off, either. The coin is up over 46% year-to-date in 2024, and over 60% over the last 12 months.

虽然今年以太坊的价值没有像比特币那样爆炸性增长，但它也没有完全放缓。 2024 年迄今为止，该代币的涨幅超过 46%，在过去 12 个月里涨幅超过 60%。

“Ethereum makes trading history accessible to users,” explained Melanie Musson, a finance expert with Clearsurance.com. “Traders who love to dig deep into transactions can access as much information as they want.”

Clearsurance.com 的金融专家 Melanie Musson 解释说：“以太坊让用户可以访问交易历史。” “喜欢深入挖掘交易的交易者可以获取尽可能多的信息。”

But the appeal doesn’t end there. Alexandr Sharilov, CEO at CoinDataFlow.com, noted that the code backbone behind Ethereum offers plenty of utility and room to grow.

但上诉并未就此结束。 CoinDataFlow.com 首席执行官 Alexandr Sharilov 指出，以太坊背后的代码主干提供了充足的实用性和增长空间。

“Ethereum is the basis of the decentralized finance (DeFi) peer-to-peer financial platform and NFT,” Sharilov explained. “There is a lot of development going on, and over time there are plans to move to Ethereum 2.0, which should reduce energy consumption. After all, it is because of Ethereum’s high energy consumption that transaction fees are high.”

“以太坊是去中心化金融（DeFi）点对点金融平台和 NFT 的基础，”Sharilov 解释道。 “正在进行大量的开发工作，随着时间的推移，我们计划转向以太坊 2.0，这应该会减少能源消耗。毕竟，正是因为以太坊的高能耗，才导致交易费用高。”

4. Max Property

4. 最大财产

Some cryptocurrencies are backed by physical assets in the real world.

一些加密货币是由现实世界中的实物资产支持的。

In the case of the fourth-highest traded coin, Max Property, that means the Himana Condotel & Residence in Bali, Indonesia. Buying a coin gives you fractional ownership in property.

就交易量第四高的硬币 Max Property 而言，这意味着印度尼西亚巴厘岛的 Himana Condotel & Residence。购买硬币可以让您获得财产的部分所有权。

In a highly volatile format, it should be noted. Real estate values remain relatively stable precisely because they’re so illiquid. When you add instant liquidity to an asset, it creates just as instant volatility and room for value distortion by speculators, rather than long-term investors.

在高度不稳定的格式中，应该注意这一点。房地产价值保持相对稳定正是因为它们的流动性太差。当你向资产添加即时流动性时，它会产生即时波动，并为投机者（而不是长期投资者）带来价值扭曲的空间。

5. Solana

5.索拉纳

Solana remains a coin just outside the mainstream financial media coverage, outside the spotlight of Bitcoin and Ethereum but with billions in trading volume nonetheless.

Solana 仍然是一种不在主流金融媒体报道之外、不在比特币和以太坊关注范围内的加密货币，但交易量却高达数十亿美元。

“Solana is very fast with low fees, making it ideal for large DeFi projects,” noted Sharilov. “However, the network has experienced outages, so there are currently concerns about its centralization.”

“Solana 速度非常快，费用低廉，非常适合大型 DeFi 项目，”Sharilov 指出。 “然而，该网络出现了中断，因此目前人们对其集中化感到担忧。”

Consider moving forward with caution, but also note that Solana has outperformed both Bitcoin and Ethereum this year, rising over 150%.

请谨慎考虑，但也要注意，Solana 今年的表现优于比特币和以太坊，涨幅超过 150%。

6. Dogecoin

6.狗狗币

A coin that started as an ironic joke about the made-up value of crypto

一枚硬币，最初是关于加密货币虚构价值的讽刺笑话
