Tether是被稱為「100先生」的神秘比特幣鯨魚嗎？

加密貨幣鯨魚以有能力推動市場並推動小型加密貨幣持有者的參與而聞名

Cryptocurrency whales play a pivotal role in shaping the market and driving engagement among smaller crypto holders, but no other whale has ever garnered as much attention as "Mr. 100," the Bitcoin whale known for snapping up at least 100 BTC per purchase. Now, speculations are swirling that Mr. 100 might actually be Tether.

加密貨幣鯨魚在塑造市場和推動小型加密貨幣持有者參與方面發揮著關鍵作用，但沒有其他鯨魚能像「100 先生」那樣獲得如此多的關注，這只比特幣鯨魚以每次購買至少100 BTC而聞名。現在，人們紛紛猜測 Mr. 100 可能實際上是 Tether。

On Wednesday, Tether, the company behind the Tether ($USDT) stablecoin, disclosed its financial results for the second quarter of 2024, revealing that it generated "a record net profit of $5.2 billion for the first half of the year."

週三，Tether（USDT）穩定幣背後的公司 Tether 披露了 2024 年第二季度的財務業績，透露其「上半年淨利潤達到創紀錄的 52 億美元」。

It also unveiled that it holds an astonishing $4.7 billion worth of Bitcoin, surpassing its precious metals holdings valued at $3.8 billion and "other investments" amounting to $3.5 billion.

該公司還透露，其持有價值 47 億美元的比特幣，超過其價值 38 億美元的貴金屬持有量和價值 35 億美元的「其他投資」。

$USDT and Tether were trending on X Thursday as speculations emerged about the stablecoin leader being Mr. 100, a mysterious $BTC whale that has steadily amassed a significant stash of some 67,000 Bitcoins.

週四，美元 USDT 和 Tether 的走勢出現了關於穩定幣領導者是 Mr. 100 的猜測，Mr. 100 是一隻神秘的 BTC 巨鯨，穩步積累了約 67,000 枚比特幣。

One crypto user on X posted side-by-sid photos of Tether's asset holdings report and Mr. 100's BTC holdings as of Monday, which also amounted to $4.7 billion. "Is Tether Mr. 100? Bitcoin balance seems suspiciously close," @3xWolverine wrote.

X 上的一位加密用戶並排發布了 Tether 的資產持有報告和 Mr. 100 截至週一持有的 BTC 的照片，其持有量也達到 47 億美元。 「Tether 是 100 先生嗎？比特幣餘額似乎非常接近，」@3xWolverine 寫道。

After @3xWolverine posted the photos, several other crypto users reposted the images. "There is no other institution that knows of market makers like Tether. And Mr. 100 just started buying Bitcoin again, half an hour ago," one user pointed out.

在@3xWolverine 發布照片後，其他幾位加密貨幣用戶轉發了這些圖像。 「沒有其他機構知道像 Tether 這樣的做市商。而 100 先生半小時前剛開始再次購買比特幣，」一位用戶指出。

Several crypto users said Tether can't possibly be Mr. 100 as the stablecoin titan has a different wallet address. Bitcoiner Mark Harvey argued against the speculation, saying Tether's Bitcoin holdings "remained the same since last quarter." Mr. 100 has been making regular $BTC purchases in the last few months.

一些加密貨幣用戶表示，Tether 不可能是 Mr. 100，因為穩定幣巨頭擁有不同的錢包地址。比特幣愛好者馬克哈維 (Mark Harvey) 反對這一猜測，稱 Tether 持有的比特幣「自上個季度以來一直保持不變」。過去幾個月，Mr. 100 一直在定期購買 BTC 美元。

I have tether's addresses, they are not mr.100

我有 tether 的地址，他們不是 100 先生

Tether address is different

繫繩地址不同

Others were convinced Tether is Mr. 100, with one user saying Mr. 100 has to be "someone too strong to hold that amount alone." Leading blockchain analytics firm Arkham Intelligence took to X Thursday, saying "we told you guys half a year ago: 'Mr. 100 is an Upbit cold wallet." Well-followed @Jamyies was among the crypto users who backed the theory.

其他人則相信 Tether 是 100 先生，一位用戶表示 100 先生必須是「一個太強大的人，無法獨自持有這個金額」。領先的區塊鏈分析公司 Arkham Intelligence 週四接受 X 採訪時表示，“半年前我們告訴過你們：‘100 先生是一個 Upbit 冷錢包。’”備受關注的 @Jamyies 是支持該理論的加密貨幣用戶之一。

Tether has yet to deny or confirm its supposed connection to Mr. 100's digital wallet.

Tether 尚未否認或確認其與 Mr. 100 數位錢包的聯繫。

For several years, other crypto users have been closely following Mr. 100's activity closely due to his interesting buying pattern. He has been consistently purchasing around 100 BTC on a near-daily basis since Feb. 14 but took a 34-day hiatus from May through June. Mr. 100's digital wallet picked up the buying spree late in June, when BTC dipped below $59,000.

多年來，由於 100 先生有趣的購買模式，其他加密貨幣用戶一直密切關注他的活動。自 2 月 14 日以來，他幾乎每天都會購買約 100 個比特幣，但從 5 月到 6 月，他中斷了 34 天。 Mr. 100 的數位錢包在 6 月底掀起了購買熱潮，當時 BTC 跌破 59,000 美元。

There have been various suggestions about who Mr. 100 is over the years, but some have said the wallet could be owned by a tech billionaire that has yet to be identified by on-chain intelligence analysts, and possibly, not a single investor but an asset manager behind a spot $BTC exchange-traded fund (ETF).

多年來，關於100 先生是誰有各種各樣的說法，但有些人表示，該錢包可能由一位科技億萬富翁擁有，但鏈上情報分析師尚未確認該富翁的身份，而且可能不是單一投資者，而是現貨 BTC 交易所交易基金 (ETF) 背後的資產經理人。
