隨著交易員關注美國大選結果，比特幣躍升至歷史新高

原生加密貨幣漲幅超8%，升至75,000美元以上

Bitcoin soared to a record high on Tuesday as traders monitored the results of a nail-biting US presidential election, with some suggesting that early leads for Republican candidate Donald Trump were boosting the cryptocurrency.

比特幣週二飆升至歷史新高，交易員密切關注令人緊張的美國總統選舉結果，一些人認為共和黨候選人唐納德·川普的早期領先正在提振加密貨幣。

While the race was far from settled late Tuesday evening, with polls closed in more than two-thirds of states, Trump had taken preliminary leads in Georgia and North Carolina, two key swing states, while vote counting in others was in its early stages.

儘管週二晚間競選遠未結束，超過三分之二的州的民意調查已結束，但川普在喬治亞州和北卡羅來納州這兩個關鍵搖擺州取得了初步領先，而其他州的計票工作仍處於早期階段。

Bitcoin extended gains as Trump took an early lead, yet the race was far from settled late Tuesday evening. With polls closed in more than two-thirds of states, Trump had taken preliminary leads in Georgia and North Carolina, two key swing states, while vote counting in others was in its early stages.

隨著川普早早取得領先，比特幣擴大了漲幅，但周二晚間的競爭遠未結束。隨著超過三分之二的州的民意調查結束，川普在喬治亞州和北卡羅來納州這兩個關鍵搖擺州取得了初步領先，而其他州的計票工作還處於早期階段。

“It has to be because the early numbers are looking good for Trump,” said Fredrick Collins, chief executive officer and founder of crypto data platform VeloData, of Bitcoin's gains.

加密數據平台 VeloData 的執行長兼創始人 Fredrick Collins 在談到比特幣的上漲時表示：“這一定是因為早期數據對川普來說看起來不錯。”

“Bitcoin is one of the top instruments for trading the election tonight in my opinion. It's relatively liquid and very tied to the outcome. So it's pretty safe to assume any increases in price are tied to increases in Trump's prospects of winning.”

「在我看來，比特幣是今晚選舉交易的最佳工具之一。它相對流動，並且與結果密切相關。因此，可以相當肯定地假設，價格的任何上漲都與川普獲勝前景的增加有關。

Other tokens also rallied, with Ethereum, the second-largest cryptocurrency, jumping 6.5%. Dogecoin, the so-called memecoin also known as Doge that's been promoted by Trump supporter Elon Musk, surged 18%.

其他代幣也上漲，其中第二大加密貨幣以太幣上漲 6.5%。狗狗幣（Dogecoin），即所謂的迷因幣（memecoin），也被稱為 Doge，由川普的支持者 Elon Musk）推廣，價格飆升 18%。

“Doge, because of its association with Musk, has been a particular beneficiary,” said Cosmo Jiang, general partner at crypto-focused investment firm Pantera.

專注於加密貨幣的投資公司 Pantera 的普通合夥人 Cosmo Jiang 表示：“Doge 由於與 Musk 的關係而成為特別的受益者。”

Crypto muscled onto the high table of politics courtesy of a giant campaign-finance war chest funded by the industry to further its agenda. Bitcoin is viewed by some as a so-called Trump trade because Republican presidential nominee Trump embraced digital assets during his campaign.

加密貨幣憑藉該行業為推進其議程而資助的巨額競選資金而登上了政治高台。比特幣被一些人視為所謂的川普交易，因為共和黨總統候選人川普在競選期間擁抱了數位資產。

Trump staked out ground as the candidate most-friendly to the industry by vowing to make the US the crypto capital of the planet, create a strategic Bitcoin reserve and appoint regulators who love digital assets should he return to the White House. The former president has bolstered his support among crypto enthusiasts by launching his own projects. Harris has adopted a more measured approach, pledging to support a regulatory framework for the industry.

川普誓言如果他重返白宮，將使美國成為全球加密貨幣之都，建立戰略性比特幣儲備，並任命熱愛數位資產的監管機構，從而奠定了對行業最友好的候選人的地位。這位前總統透過啟動自己的計畫增強了加密貨幣愛好者的支持。哈里斯採取了更謹慎的方法，承諾支持該行業的監管框架。

Bitcoin's more than 70% advance in 2024 has topped traditional assets such as global stocks and gold.

比特幣在 2024 年漲幅超過 70%，已超過全球股票和黃金等傳統資產。

Prior to the election taking over the focus of the market, the price of Bitcoin was lifted this year by strong flows into the ETFs. Funds from issuers such as BlackRock Inc. and Fidelity Investments have attracted about $23.6 billion of net inflows this year, data compiled by Bloomberg show. The SEC grudgingly approved the funds after a court reversal in 2023. Their launch was one of the most eagerly anticipated events in digital-asset history.

在大選成為市場焦點之前，今年比特幣價格因大量流入 ETF 而上漲。彭博社彙編的數據顯示，貝萊德(BlackRock Inc.)和富達投資(Fidelity Investments)等發行人的基金今年吸引了約236億美元的淨流入。 2023 年法院推翻了該基金的裁決後，美國證券交易委員會 (SEC) 勉強批准了這些基金。

Industry executives are optimistic that either of the candidates' position toward digital assets would be in sharp contrast to the crackdown on the sector under President Joe Biden that saw numerous companies hit with enforcement actions from the SEC.

業界高層樂觀地認為，兩位候選人對數位資產的立場將與喬·拜登總統對該行業的打擊形成鮮明對比，當時許多公司都受到了美國證券交易委員會執法行動的打擊。

Digital-asset companies often complain that officials under the Biden administration chose a path of regulation through enforcement rather than creating a clear new legal framework for the nascent market.

數位資產公司經常抱怨拜登政府的官員選擇了透過執法進行監管的道路，而不是為新興市場創建明確的新法律框架。

SEC Chair Gary Gensler is a critic of the industry's alleged noncompliance, repeatedly labeling the sector as rife with fraud and misconduct. The agency cracked down on crypto following a 2022 market rout and collapses such as the bankruptcy of Sam Bankman-Fried's fraudulent FTX exchange.

美國證券交易委員會 (SEC) 主席加里·根斯勒 (Gary Gensler) 批評該行業涉嫌違規行為，多次將該行業貼上欺詐和不當行為氾濫的標籤。在 2022 年市場暴跌和 Sam Bankman-Fried 欺詐性 FTX 交易所破產等崩潰之後，該機構對加密貨幣進行了打擊。
