2024 年 8 月：加密貨幣市場動盪的一個月

2024 年 8 月，加密貨幣市場經歷了動盪的一個月，大多數數位資產的價格顯著下跌。

The cryptocurrency market experienced a turbulent August, with most digital assets seeing a decline in value.

加密貨幣市場經歷了動盪的八月，大多數數位資產都出現了價值下跌。

Macroeconomic factors, such as the collapse of the yen carry trade, had a significant impact on this fall, according to a recent VanEck report.

VanEck 最近的一份報告顯示，日圓套利交易崩盤等宏觀經濟因素對今年秋季產生了重大影響。

Bitcoin (BTC) saw an 11% decrease in value, while Ethereum (ETH) and Solana (SOL) also saw notable drops of 24% and 21%, respectively.

比特幣 (BTC) 價值下跌 11%，而以太幣 (ETH) 和 Solana (SOL) 也分別大幅下跌 24% 和 21%。

In contrast, traditional indexes like the S&P 500 and Nasdaq saw modest gains of 2% and 1%, respectively.

相較之下，標準普爾 500 指數和那斯達克指數等傳統指數分別小幅上漲 2% 和 1%。

The smart contract platform (SCP) market closed August with a 12% decrease in market capitalization compared to the previous month.

智慧合約平台（SCP）市場 8 月收盤時市值較上月下降 12%。

Highlighting the challenges faced by Ethereum, the second-largest SCP, it saw a 24% drop in value over the month.

第二大 SCP 以太幣的價值在一個月內下跌了 24%，凸顯了其面臨的挑戰。

This underperformance is notable considering competitors like Solana had an impressive 624% return since the start of the bull market in November 2023.

考慮到 Solana 等競爭對手自 2023 年 11 月牛市開始以來的回報率高達 624%，這一表現不佳的情況值得注意。

Ethereum’s struggles can be attributed to declining transaction fee revenue and increasing competition from faster blockchains.

以太坊的困境可歸因於交易費收入下降以及來自更快區塊鏈的競爭加劇。

The decentralized finance (DeFi) sector also saw major developments.

去中心化金融（DeFi）領域也取得了重大發展。

One key topic was the partnership between Bitgo and Justin Sun on Wrapped Bitcoin (WBTC), which generated controversy.

其中一個關鍵話題是 Bitgo 和孫宇晨在 Wrapped Bitcoin (WBTC) 上的合作，這引起了爭議。

The decision to move WBTC custody out of the United States sparked a strong reaction in the crypto community.

將 WBTC 託管移出美國的決定在加密社群引發了強烈反應。

As a result, MakerDAO decided to ban the use of WBTC as collateral for the creation of the DAI stablecoin, while Coinbase launched its own version of Wrapped Bitcoin, called wbBTC.

因此，MakerDAO 決定禁止使用 WBTC 作為創建 DAI 穩定幣的抵押品，而 Coinbase 則推出了自己的 Wrapped Bitcoin 版本，稱為 wbBTC。

In the stablecoin space, Tether put its plans to launch its own blockchain on hold, and Maker undertook a significant rebranding effort, renaming its DAI stablecoin to USDS and its MAKER governance token to SKY.

在穩定幣領域，Tether 擱置了推出自己的區塊鏈的計劃，Maker 進行了重大的品牌重塑工作，將其 DAI 穩定幣重命名為 USDS，將 MAKER 治理代幣重命名為 SKY。

Meanwhile, the VanEck-backed stablecoin Agora saw rapid growth, expanding to other chains like Sui.

同時，VanEck 支援的穩定幣 Agora 實現了快速成長，並擴展到了 Sui 等其他區塊鏈。

Other notable developments include the rise in activity on Polymarket, a decentralized prediction platform, with a strong focus on political markets.

其他值得注意的發展包括 Polymarket 的活動增加，這是一個去中心化的預測平台，重點關注政治市場。

Despite the attention, revenue for the Polygon blockchain from Polymarket wasが少ない compared to its overall impact.

儘管受到關注，但與整體影響相比，Polymarket 的 Polygon 區塊鏈收入仍然較低。

On the other hand, Solana faced problems due to its massive size in terms of storage and the speculation around memecoins, which had a negative effect on trading volume and fees in the network, highlighting the need for technological solutions that can handle increasing demand without hurting network accessibility and efficiency.

另一方面，Solana 由於其龐大的儲存規模和圍繞memecoin 的投機而面臨問題，這對網路中的交易量和費用產生了負面影響，這凸顯了需要能夠在不損害網路的情況下應對不斷增長的需求的技術解決方案網路的可存取性和效率。

The cryptocurrency market saw a variety of developments and challenges in August, which will continue to shape the future of the sector.

八月份，加密貨幣市場經歷了各種發展和挑戰，這將繼續塑造該行業的未來。

These events showcase the dynamic and often unpredictable nature of the crypto space, making it crucial to stay informed about trends and changes in the market.

這些事件顯示了加密貨幣領域的動態且往往不可預測的性質，因此了解市場趨勢和變化至關重要。
