选举结果引发加密货币市场飙升，导致几位加密货币大亨的个人财富增加

选举结果，特别是前总统唐纳德·特朗普的胜利及其支持加密货币的立场，引发了加密货币市场的飙升，导致几位加密货币大亨的个人财富显着增加。

The 2024 U.S. elections have been a boon to the cryptocurrency industry, with the election of pro-crypto candidates and a post-election surge in the crypto market leading to a remarkable increase in the personal wealth of several crypto moguls.

2024 年美国大选对加密货币行业来说是一个福音，支持加密货币的候选人当选，以及选举后加密货币市场的激增，导致几位加密货币大亨的个人财富显着增加。

Coinbase’s Brian Armstrong has been one of the biggest beneficiaries of the election outcome. His company, Coinbase, played a significant role in the 2024 political campaign, and its market value increased by $21 billion following the election. Armstrong himself enjoyed a personal windfall of nearly $2 billion from his stake in Coinbase, bringing his net worth to over $6.4 billion.

Coinbase 的布莱恩·阿姆斯特朗 (Brian Armstrong) 是此次选举结果的最大受益者之一。他的公司 Coinbase 在 2024 年的政治竞选中发挥了重要作用，大选后其市值增加了 210 亿美元。阿姆斯特朗本人从持有的 Coinbase 股份中获得了近 20 亿美元的个人意外之财，使他的净资产超过 64 亿美元。

In addition to his stake, Armstrong’s strategic stock sales netted him a cool $129 million. The sales were part of a pre-planned diversification strategy he initiated before the election, aiming to invest in higher-risk ventures while still retaining a majority share in the company. Armstrong explained his decision on social media, noting that the sales were designed to “diversify into moonshots” but that he would keep the majority of his Coinbase holdings.

除了他的股份之外，阿姆斯特朗的战略股票销售还为他带来了 1.29 亿美元的收入。此次出售是他在大选前发起的预先计划的多元化战略的一部分，旨在投资于风险较高的企业，同时仍保留公司的多数股权。阿姆斯特朗在社交媒体上解释了他的决定，并指出出售的目的是“实现登月多元化”，但他将保留其持有的大部分 Coinbase 股份。

Coinbase's political involvement extended beyond Armstrong's personal actions. The company donated $74 million to the Fairshake PAC, a political action committee that supported crypto-friendly candidates in the 2024 elections.

Coinbase 的政治参与超出了阿姆斯特朗的个人行为。该公司向 Fairshake PAC 捐赠了 7400 万美元，这是一个政治行动委员会，在 2024 年的选举中支持对加密货币友好的候选人。

Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse also saw immense growth in his wealth following the election. Ripple, the company behind the XRP token, benefited greatly from a post-election surge in the price of XRP, which rose from $0.50 to $2.32 in just a month. This 54.7% price increase propelled Ripple’s market capitalization to new heights, cementing XRP's position as the third-largest cryptocurrency by market value.

Ripple 首席执行官布拉德·加林豪斯 (Brad Garlinghouse) 在选举后也看到了自己的财富大幅增长。 XRP 代币背后的公司 Ripple 从选举后 XRP 价格飙升中受益匪浅，在短短一个月内从 0.50 美元上涨至 2.32 美元。 54.7% 的价格上涨将 Ripple 的市值推向了新的高度，巩固了 XRP 作为市值第三大加密货币的地位。

Garlinghouse's personal holdings of XRP more than tripled in value, adding a substantial amount to his wealth. The CEO, who owns over 6% of Ripple, also played an active role in the political landscape, with Ripple donating $73 million to political causes aligned with crypto industry interests.

加林豪斯个人持有的 XRP 价值增加了​​两倍多，为他的财富增加了大量资金。这位拥有 Ripple 超过 6% 股份的首席执行官也在政治领域发挥了积极作用，Ripple 向与加密行业利益一致的政治事业捐赠了 7300 万美元。

“The crypto market is up over $1 trillion since Trump won,” Garlinghouse said, linking the market rally to the regulatory relief brought by the election.

加林豪斯表示：“自特朗普获胜以来，加密货币市场已上涨超过 1 万亿美元。”他将市场上涨与选举带来的监管放松联系起来。

Andreessen Horowitz, co-founded by Mark and Ben Horowitz and also known as a16z, is similarly positioned to gain from the election results. A major venture capital player in most of the top crypto companies, such as Coinbase, Solana, and Uniswap, the firm itself doesn’t disclose its profits, but it is rather obvious the value of the houses it has entered has gone up many-fold since the election.

由马克·霍洛维茨 (Mark Horowitz) 和本·霍洛维茨 (Ben Horowitz) 共同创立的安德森·霍洛维茨 (Andreessen Horowitz)，又名 a16z，也同样有望从选举结果中获益。该公司是 Coinbase、Solana 和 Uniswap 等大多数顶级加密公司的主要风险投资参与者，该公司本身并没有透露其利润，但很明显，它所进入的房子的价值已经上涨了很多——自选举以来折叠。

Apart from its investments, Andreessen Horowitz also bankrolled the political campaigns of pro-crypto candidates with $70 million. The moves were part of a broader effort to shape U.S. policy on cryptocurrencies, pushing for clear regulations that would nurture innovation while assuaging concerns over bad actors.

除了投资之外，Andreessen Horowitz 还为支持加密货币的候选人的政治竞选提供了 7000 万美元的资金。这些举措是制定美国加密货币政策的更广泛努力的一部分，推动制定明确的法规，以培育创新，同时减轻对不良行为者的担忧。

The success of the crypto moguls can also be credited to the influence of Fairshake PAC, a super PAC that played the critical role of supporting crypto-friendly candidates. With its contributions from Coinbase, Ripple, and Andreessen Horowitz, the PAC helped more than 50 lawmakers sympathetic to the crypto industry get elected.

加密货币大亨的成功也可以归功于 Fairshake PAC 的影响力，这是一个超级 PAC，在支持加密友好候选人方面发挥了关键作用。借助 Coinbase、Ripple 和 Andreessen Horowitz 的贡献，PAC 帮助 50 多名同情加密货币行业的立法者当选。

However, critics have raised concerns that the crypto industry’s political involvement has been transactional in nature. Rick Claypool, research director at Public Citizen, stated that the campaign was largely driven by industry interests, with crypto firms putting their money into places that would benefit them the most in the long run. Despite these concerns, the strategy has paid off for crypto executives, whose financial success has mirrored the market’s explosive growth.

然而，批评者担心加密行业的政治参与本质上是交易性的。 Public Citizen 研究总监 Rick Claypool 表示，该活动主要是由行业利益驱动的，加密货币公司将资金投入到从长远来看对他们最有利的地方。尽管存在这些担忧，该策略还是为加密货币高管带来了回报，他们的财务成功反映了市场的爆炸性增长。

Bitcoin was also in on the post-election surge. Though it has not managed to break the $100,000 mark since the recent downturn in the market, Bitcoin is up 43% since Election Day, tacking almost $600 billion onto its market capitalization. As of late December 2024, Bitcoin changed hands for $98,000, or more than double the pre-election levels.

比特币也在选举后飙升。尽管自近期市场低迷以来，比特币尚未突破 10 万美元大关，但自选举日以来，比特币已上涨 43%，市值增加近 6000 亿美元。截至 2024 年 12 月下旬，比特币以 98,000 美元易手，是选举前水平的两倍多。

In fact, by 2025, the crypto industry may have even more promise. While regulation still takes shape and is friendly in nature, and with positive market momentum, industry leaders continue to look ahead with great optimism for the future. Most hope that the changes in store, given the 2024 elections, will allow this sector to grow even further.

事实上，到 2025 年，加密行业可能会有更多希望。尽管监管仍在形成且本质上是友好的，并且市场势头积极，但行业领导者继续对未来充满乐观。大多数人希望，鉴于 2024 年的选举，即将发生的变化将使该行业进一步发展。
