是什么让比特币价格飙升如此之高？

一月份，美国证券交易委员会（SEC）通过批准交易所交易基金提振了比特币。比特币已经从 16,500 美元涨至 40,000 美元以上

Bitcoin’s price has surged to new highs in 2024, driven by several key factors.

在几个关键因素的推动下，比特币的价格在 2024 年飙升至新高。

The approval of bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) by the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) in January provided a major boost to the cryptocurrency. In anticipation of the ETFs, bitcoin had already risen to over $40,000 from $16,500 at the start of the year.

美国证券交易委员会 (SEC) 一月份批准了比特币交易所交易基金 (ETF)，这极大地推动了加密货币的发展。由于 ETF 的预期，比特币已经从年初的 16,500 美元上涨至 40,000 美元以上。

However, the price faced some turbulence in the following months. Large wallets selling their holdings dragged bitcoin down to nearly $50,000 in September. But the rally was quickly reignited by Trump's victory in the US presidential election, and the nomination of Paul Atkins, a crypto advocate, to lead the SEC.

然而，价格在接下来的几个月中面临一些动荡。 9 月份，大型钱包抛售所持比特币，导致比特币价格跌至近 5 万美元。但随着特朗普在美国总统选举中获胜以及加密货币倡导者保罗·阿特金斯被提名领导 SEC，涨势很快重新燃起。

With these developments, bitcoin crossed the $100,000 mark in October, and was trading at over $110,000 at the time of publishing this story. The price increase was also driven by institutional investment, with several brokerages adding bitcoin to their portfolios.

随着这些进展，比特币在 10 月份突破了 100,000 美元大关，在本文发表时交易价格超过 110,000 美元。价格上涨也是由机构投资推动的，一些券商将比特币添加到他们的投资组合中。

As bitcoin's price surged, it also had a positive impact on other crypto tokens. Ethereum's ETH rose 70% since January, and was nearing its 52-week high at $3,863. Ripple's XRP, the fourth-largest with a market cap of $135 billion, rose 3.8x this year. Solana (SOL), the next-biggest with a market cap of $111 billion, rose 2.5x.

随着比特币价格的飙升，也对其他加密代币产生了积极影响。以太坊的 ETH 自 1 月份以来上涨了 70%，接近 52 周高点 3,863 美元。 Ripple 的 XRP 是第四大加密货币，市值为 1350 亿美元，今年上涨了 3.8 倍。 Solana (SOL) 是第二大市值公司，市值达 1,110 亿美元，股价上涨 2.5 倍。

In fact, each of the world's top 10 crypto tokens rose 2–4x this year, making 2024 a "bull" year for cryptocurrencies. Many are expecting the trend to continue, especially if the US-fuelled euphoria sustains.

事实上，今年全球十大加密货币的价格均上涨了 2-4 倍，使得 2024 年成为加密货币的“牛市”年。许多人预计这一趋势将持续下去，特别是如果美国推动的乐观情绪持续下去的话。

Among critical analysts, US-based Alex Dobvnya told Mint that bitcoin, with a market cap of $2.02 trillion at the time, is now "too big to fail."

批评分析师中，美国的 Alex Dobvnya 告诉 Mint，比特币当时的市值为 2.02 万亿美元，现在“太大而不能倒”。

However, critics also raise concerns about a potential crash, highlighting that while blockchain has concrete real-world use cases, the same isn't true of tokens, which aren't tied to any physical asset, rendering them volatile.

然而，批评者也对潜在的崩盘表示担忧，强调虽然区块链有具体的现实用例，但代币却并非如此，代币不与任何实物资产挂钩，导致它们不稳定。

"Crypto ‘whales’, or wallets with tokens worth over $1 million, can badly impact any token at any time if they are liquidated. In an economic downturn, brokerages may sell, as in 2022, when bitcoin crashed by over 4x in a year. Despite being bigger today, adverse global policy calls (beyond Trump) may also hamper crypto," one critic told Mint.

“加密‘鲸鱼’，即代币价值超过 100 万美元的钱包，如果被清算，随时都可能对任何代币造成严重影响。在经济低迷时期，券商可能会抛售，就像 2022 年那样，当时比特币在一年内暴跌超过 4 倍尽管今天规模更大，但不利的全球政策呼吁（特朗普之外的）也可能会阻碍加密货币，”一位评论家告诉 Mint。

While Trump's pro-crypto stance could impact some tech policies in India, crypto may not be on the priority list, considering that US exchanges don't have a big presence in India, and the consumer market, too, is limited due to the tax.

尽管特朗普支持加密货币的立场可能会影响印度的一些科技政策，但考虑到美国交易所在印度的影响力并不大，而且消费市场也因税收而受到限制，因此加密货币可能不会出现在优先考虑的名单上。 。

This could mean that while bitcoin's price surge may benefit Indian users, the impact is likely to be limited.

这可能意味着，虽然比特币价格飙升可能有利于印度用户，但影响可能有限。
