Bitcoin To Hit $100K By US Election: Standard Chartered
Standard Chartered has projected that Bitcoin's price might reach a new all-time high by August and could surge to $100,000 by the U.S. presidential election in November.
渣打银行预测比特币的价格可能会在8月份达到新的历史高点，并在11月美国总统选举时暴涨至10万美元。
What Happened: The bank's Head of Forex and Digital Assets Research Geoffrey Kendrick stated, "a fresh all-time high for bitcoin in August is likely, then $100,000 by U.S. election day."
消息称，渣打银行外汇和数字资产研究主管杰弗里·肯德里克表示，"在8月份的时候，比特币可能会创造出新的历史高点，并在美国选举时暴涨至10万美元。"
This optimistic forecast is contingent upon President Joe Biden remaining a candidate in the upcoming election, which the market interprets as favorable for Donald Trump's chances of winning, The Block reported.
据The Block报道，这一乐观的预测是建立在乔·拜登总统依然参选的前提下的。市场认为，这对于特朗普赢得大选是有利的。
Trump's potential victory is seen as a positive catalyst for Bitcoin.
特朗普潜在的胜选被认为是比特币的一个正面催化剂。
Kendrick noted, "The logic here is that both regulation and mining would be looked at more favourably under Trump," emphasizing the correlation between Trump's electoral prospects and Bitcoin's price movement.
肯德里克指出"这里的逻辑是特朗普的当选会更有利于监管和矿业的发展，"强调着特朗普的选举前景与比特币价格的关联。

Why It Matters: Kendrick outlined an alternative scenario in which Biden withdraws from the race in late July.
肯德里克还概述了一种替代情况，即拜登在7月下旬宣布退出选举。
Should this occur, Bitcoin's price could fall to between $50,000 and $55,000.
如果发生这种情况，比特币的价格可能会下跌到5万至5.5万美元之间。
He elaborated that if Biden's replacement is a strong candidate, such as Michelle Obama, "Bitcoin prices will stay soft." Conversely, if Biden continues his campaign, Kendrick sees it as "a fantastic buying opportunity" for Bitcoin investors.
他进一步解释道，如果拜登的接班人是一个强有力的候选人，如米歇尔·奥巴马，"比特币价格将会保持平稳。"相反，如果拜登继续竞选，肯德里克认为这将是"比特币投资者的绝佳买入机会。"
The crucial date to watch, according to Kendrick, is August 4.
肯德里克指出，目前需要关注的关键日期是8月4日。
"This is the date at which Ohio law requires presidential candidates to be registered. So, if Biden is still the Democratic nominee on August 4 he will still be so in the first week of November," he stated.
"这是俄亥俄州法律规定的总统候选人注册日期。因此，如果拜登在8月4日仍然是民主党的提名人，他将在11月的第一周仍然是提名人，"他说。
Kendrick remains firm on his year-end Bitcoin price prediction of $150,000 and an end-of-2025 target of $200,000.
肯德里克对年末比特币价格的预测保持不变，认为将达到15万美元，在2025年底的目标是20万美元。
He pointed out, "Notably, a $150,000 price by end-2024 would see bitcoin join the $3 trillion club in terms of market cap, following NVDA's $3 trillion market cap which was reached yesterday."
他指出："值得注意的是，到2024年底，比特币的价格若达到15万美元，将成为市场价值3万亿美元的"3万亿俱乐部"的一分子，紧随NVDA达到三万亿美元的市值的足迹。"
As of now, Bitcoin is trading at $62,247, showing little change over the past 24 hours.
截至目前，比特币的交易价格为62,247美元，在过去24小时内几乎没有变化。
