Significant news emerged in the cryptocurrency world during the final week of 2024, including Vitalik Buterin's philanthropic gesture and ongoing legal battles over Bitcoin.

2024 年最后一周，加密货币世界出现了重大新闻，包括 Vitalik Buterin 的慈善举动和正在进行的比特币法律斗争。

Buterin, the co-founder of Ethereum, adopted Moo Deng, a viral pygmy hippopotamus, through a generous donation of 88 Ether, valued at around $292,000 at the time. His contribution went to the Khao Kheow Open Zoo in Thailand, which gained fame for Moo Deng's lively personality and captivating online presence. Buterin also hinted at the possibility of making further donations to the zoo.

以太坊联合创始人 Buterin 慷慨捐赠了 88 个以太币，收养了一只病毒性侏儒河马 Moo Deng，当时的价值约为 292,000 美元。他的捐款捐献给了泰国的 Khao Kheow 开放动物园，该动物园因 Moo Deng 活泼的个性和迷人的在线形象而闻名。 Buterin 还暗示有可能向动物园进一步捐款。

In another development, James Howells, an IT engineer from Newport, Wales, continued his legal battle to regain access to a hard drive containing 8,000 Bitcoins, estimated to be worth around $773 million. The drive, which was accidentally discarded in 2013, holds cryptocurrency from the early days of Bitcoin.

另一项进展是，来自威尔士纽波特的 IT 工程师 James Howells 继续进行法律斗争，以重新获得对包含 8,000 个比特币的硬盘的访问权限，这些比特币估计价值约 7.73 亿美元。该硬盘于 2013 年被意外丢弃，里面保存着比特币早期的加密货币。

Newport City Council currently denies access due to environmental concerns. However, Howells remains optimistic, backed by a strong legal team and advanced AI technology, with plans to reinvest in the cryptocurrency community if he succeeds in recovering the Bitcoins.

由于环境问题，纽波特市议会目前拒绝进入。然而，在强大的法律团队和先进的人工智能技术的支持下，豪厄尔斯仍然保持乐观，如果他成功收回比特币，他计划对加密货币社区进行再投资。

On the geopolitical front, South Korea sanctioned 15 North Korean individuals and one organization for their involvement in crypto-related cyber thefts. These actions are linked to activities that contribute to financing North Korea's missile development program.

在地缘政治方面，韩国对 15 名朝鲜个人和一个组织实施了制裁，因为他们参与了与加密货币相关的网络盗窃活动。这些行动与为朝鲜导弹开发计划提供资金的活动有关。

notably, North Korean hackers are blamed for over half of the cryptocurrency thefts in 2024, including the major Ronin network hack.

值得注意的是，2024 年一半以上的加密货币盗窃案均归咎于朝鲜黑客，其中包括重大的 Ronin 网络黑客攻击事件。

The year 2024 also saw a surge in crypto hacks, with losses exceeding $2.3 billion, a 40% increase over the previous year, largely attributed to security breaches in centralized exchanges. This increase corresponds with Bitcoin's rise past the $100,000 mark, indicating heightened hacker interest in crypto assets.

2024 年，加密货币黑客攻击也激增，损失超过 23 亿美元，比上一年增加 40%，主要归因于中心化交易所的安全漏洞。这一增长与比特币突破 10 万美元大关相对应，表明黑客对加密资产的兴趣增加。

In a positive development for the crypto ecosystem, Solana's Jito staking pool reported over $100 million in monthly revenues from transaction tips and fees in the last two months of the year. This success highlights the growing profitability within the Solana network for its validators.

Solana 的 Jito 质押池报告称，今年最后两个月来自交易提示和费用的月收入超过 1 亿美元，这对加密生态系统来说是一个积极的发展。这一成功凸显了 Solana 网络中验证者的盈利能力不断增长。

Finally, market movements showed strength, with many of the top 100 cryptocurrencies by market capitalization finishing the week in positive territory. Notably, Bitget Token and Virtuals Protocol coin emerged as significant gainers, indicating robust investor appetite in this rapidly evolving market landscape.

最后，市场走势表现强劲，市值排名前 100 的加密货币中的许多都在本周收盘。值得注意的是，Bitget Token 和 Virtuals Protocol 代币成为显着上涨者，表明投资者在这个快速发展的市场格局中有着强劲的兴趣。
