加密貨幣產業對沖賭注

加密貨幣領域實體的參與在政治競選中已不再新鮮，因為曾經有過幾次名人

Multicoin Capital, a crypto-focused investment firm, has pledged up to $1 million to a super PAC called Sentinel Action Fund, which is supporting senatorial candidates who are seen as favorable to the cryptocurrency industry.

Multicoin Capital 是一家專注於加密貨幣的投資公司，承諾向名為 Sentinel Action Fund 的超級 PAC 提供高達 100 萬美元的資金，該基金正在支持被視為對加密貨幣行業有利的參議員候選人。

The pledge was announced on July 13 and will see Multicoin match 100% of the Solana (SOL) tokens generated during the group’s fundraising efforts, which will be facilitated by Gemini on July 14.

該承諾於 7 月 13 日宣布，Multicoin 將 100% 匹配該集團籌款活動中產生的 Solana (SOL) 代幣，Gemini 將於 7 月 14 日推動籌款活動。

“We believe America needs to remain free for innovation, and the only way to ensure that happens is to get the right candidates into the Senate,” said Kyle Samani, Multicoin's managing partner.

Multicoin 的管理合夥人 Kyle Samani 表示：“我們相信美國需要保持創新自由，確保這一點的唯一方法就是讓合適的候選人進入參議院。”

Multicoin is remaining officially bipartisan in its support, but Sentinel appears to mirror its criteria in selecting its pro-crypto endorsements on the Republican side, according to a Coinbase report citing the statement of “a person familiar with the firm’s thinking.”

據 Coinbase 的一份報告援引「一位熟悉該公司想法的人士」的聲明稱，Multicoin 仍然得到了兩黨的正式支持，但 Sentinel 在選擇支持加密貨幣的支持時似乎也遵循了共和黨方面的標準。

Senator Bill Hagerty (R-Tenn.), a senate banking committee member who has voiced support for crypto innovation, is among the candidates that Multicoin hopes to see win, according to Samani.

Samani 表示，參議員比爾·哈格蒂 (Bill Hagerty)（田納西州共和黨人）是參議院銀行委員會成員，曾表示支持加密貨幣創新，他是 Multicoin 希望獲勝的候選人之一。

“We're excited to announce our support for Multicoin in their effort to support candidates who will champion crypto,” said Sentinel in a statement.

Sentinel 在聲明中表示：“我們很高興宣布支持 Multicoin，以支持支持加密貨幣的候選人。”

The involvement of entities within the cryptocurrency sector in political races is not new, with personalities like former FTX CEO Sam Bankman-Fried having pledged millions in donations to politicians in the past.

加密貨幣領域的實體參與政治競選並不新鮮，FTX 前執行長 Sam Bankman-Fried 等名人過去曾承諾向政客捐贈數百萬美元。

However, this year may see them having more influence in steering the results of the election, as several candidates who are seen as being pro-crypto are running for key positions.

然而，今年他們可能會在選舉結果方面擁有更大的影響力，因為幾位被視為支持加密貨幣的候選人正在競選關鍵職位。

Among them is former President Donald Trump, who has spoken favorably of crypto in the past and is hoping to secure the Republican nomination once again.

其中包括前總統唐納德·川普，他過去曾對加密貨幣表示讚賞，並希望再次獲得共和黨提名。

根據 Cointelegraph 分析，該區間的最低點出現在一週前，即 7 月 7 日，當時 BTC 跌至 53,144 美元的低點。

Analysts attributed the slumping prices to the massive selling pressure caused by the whale BTC transfers initiated by the US and German governments to crypto exchanges and unknown addresses, as reported by ourselves and others.

正如我們自己和其他人所報導的那樣，分析師將價格暴跌歸因於美國和德國政府向加密貨幣交易所和未知地址發起的鯨魚比特幣轉移造成的巨大拋售壓力。
