比特幣觸及 10 萬美元

今年的加密貨幣市場可謂是真正的雲霄飛車，比特幣的價格飆升了 130%。更重要的是，BTC在12月初歷史上首次突破10萬美元大關。

Bitcoin Surges Past $100K as Crypto Market Booms

隨著加密貨幣市場的繁榮，比特幣飆升至 10 萬美元以上

Bitcoin's price hit a new all-time high of $100,000 on Monday, continuing its驚人的surge that began in 2023. The digital asset's value has now increased by over 130% year-to-date.

比特幣的價格週一創下 10 萬美元的歷史新高，延續了自 2023 年以來的驚人飆升。

Several factors have contributed to Bitcoin's impressive rally, including the launch of Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) in January, which brought billions of institutional dollars into the crypto space. Additionally, the presidential campaign and the appointment of Elon Musk as head of a new government unit responsible for cutting $2 trillion in spending have also played a role.

有幾個因素促成了比特幣令人印象深刻的上漲，其中包括一月份推出的比特幣交易所交易基金（ETF），該基金為加密貨幣領域帶來了數十億美元的機構資金。此外，總統競選活動以及伊隆馬斯克被任命為負責削減 2 兆美元支出的新政府部門負責人也發揮了作用。

Moreover, Bitcoin's price surge has been accompanied by a broader rally in the crypto market, with altcoins like Ethereum, XRP, BNB, Solana, and Tron also experiencing significant gains. However, the most remarkable rally was observed in meme tokens, such as Dogecoin, Shiba Inu, and even Fartcoin.

此外，比特幣價格飆升伴隨著加密貨幣市場的更廣泛上漲，以太坊、XRP、BNB、Solana 和 Tron 等山寨幣也出現了顯著上漲。然而，最顯著的反彈出現在迷因代幣中，例如狗狗幣、柴犬，甚至是屁幣。

EU Implements MiCA Regulation for Stablecoins

歐盟對穩定幣實施 MiCA 監管

The European Union implemented the Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation (MiCA) for stablecoins in mid-2024, with the rest of the rules covering transactions set to take effect at the end of the year.

歐盟於 2024 年中期實施了針對穩定幣的加密資產市場監管 (MiCA)，涉及交易的其餘規則將於今年年底生效。

MiCA is the first major crypto-specific regulation introduced by any of the leading global regulators. The rules regarding stablecoins have also compelled crypto exchanges to revise their European services and operations.

MiCA 是全球領先監管機構推出的第一個主要的加密貨幣監管法規。有關穩定幣的規則也迫使加密貨幣交易所修改其歐洲服務和營運。

Binance, Coinbase, and Bitstamp are just three of many that have delisted stablecoins not compliant with MiCA. This has also prompted stablecoin issuers like Circle to develop EU-compliant fiat-pegged cryptocurrencies.

Binance、Coinbase 和 Bitstamp 只是眾多下架不符合 MiCA 的穩定幣的公司中的三個。這也促使 Circle 等穩定幣發行人開發符合歐盟標準的與法定貨幣掛鉤的加密貨幣。

After all, such cryptocurrencies are vital for trading many altcoins. Crypto exchanges are also exploring the establishment of EU hubs to ensure uninterrupted European services following MiCA's full implementation.

畢竟，此類加密貨幣對於交易許多山寨幣至關重要。加密貨幣交易所也在探索建立歐盟中心，以確保 MiCA 全面實施後歐洲服務不間斷。

Cyprus Losing Charm as Dubai Emerges

隨著杜拜的崛起，塞浦路斯失去了魅力

Cyprus, often considered the hub for CFDs, may be slowly losing its appeal. Some major players, like FXTM and HYCY, have left the island this year, whereas a few others are contemplating surrendering their Cyprus licenses.

塞浦路斯通常被認為是差價合約的中心，但它可能正在慢慢失去吸引力。 FXTM 和 HYCY 等一些主要參與者今年已經離開該島，而其他一些參與者正在考慮放棄其塞浦路斯牌照。

CySEC fined brokers like IC Markets for non-compliance, and BDSwiss' license was suspended, raising questions about its future in Cyprus. Many experts have also pointed out that CySEC is overburdening brokers with stringent regulatory requirements.

CySEC 對 IC Markets 等不合規經紀商處以罰款，BDSwiss 的牌照也被暫停，引發了對其在塞浦路斯未來的質疑。許多專家也指出，CySEC 嚴格的監管要求讓經紀商負擔過重。

However, the Mediterranean island has not entirely lost its charm, as others obtained CySEC licenses to initiate operations in Europe.

然而，這個地中海島嶼並沒有完全失去魅力，因為其他島嶼已經獲得了塞浦路斯證券交易委員會 (CySEC) 的許可證，可以在歐洲開展業務。

While Cyprus faces a potential exodus, Dubai is emerging as a hotspot for retail brokerage industry players. Many brokers have acquired licenses from the United Arab Emirates regulators and established local offices, predominantly in Dubai.

雖然塞浦路斯面臨潛在的外流，但杜拜正成為零售經紀行業參與者的熱點。許多經紀商已獲得阿拉伯聯合大公國監管機構的許可，並建立了當地辦事處，主要在杜拜。

Some of the CFD brokers obtaining UAE licenses this year include Capital.com, Taurex, BDSwiss, ThinkMarkets, and AUS Global. Interestingly, brokers with a strong foothold in the Middle East, such as CAPEX.com, MultiBank, and CFI, have expanded their presence in Dubai by securing new licenses and opening offices.

今年獲得阿聯酋牌照的部分差價合約經紀商包括 Capital.com、Taurex、BDSwiss、ThinkMarkets 和 AUS Global。有趣的是，CAPEX.com、MultiBank 和 CFI 等在中東站穩腳跟的經紀商透過獲得新執照和開設辦事處擴大了在杜拜的業務。

The influx of brokers has also encouraged tech providers like Leverate and Tools for Brokers to set up a physical presence in Dubai.

經紀商的湧入也鼓勵了 Leverate 和 Tools for Brokers 等技術供應商在杜拜設立實體辦事處。
