Earlier this week, former President Donald Trump announced Vance as his running mate, a known pro-cryptocurrency advocate. Vance holds a significant amount of Bitcoin and has been actively promoting legislation favorable to the cryptocurrency industry.
本周早些时候，前总统唐纳德·特朗普宣布范斯为自己的竞选搭档，范斯是一位已知的数字货币支持者。范斯持有大量比特币，并积极推动有利于数字货币行业的立法。
Why It Matters: The selection of Vance as a vice-presidential candidate has stirred the industry. Todd Gordon, founder of Inside Edge Capital, has even predicted that Bitcoin could surpass the $100,000 mark this year, citing the pro-cryptocurrency stance of the potential Trump-Vance presidential ticket as a contributing factor.
为什么重要：范斯作为副总统候选人的选择引起了行业的轰动。Inside Edge Capital创始人托德·戈登甚至预测，由于潜在的特朗普-范斯总统候选人支持数字货币，比特币可能会在今年超过10万美元的大关。
Support for Donald Trump and candidates seen as supportive of cryptocurrencies has risen from people within the industry. Winklevoss twins, the co-founders of cryptocurrency exchange Gemini, donated $1 million in Bitcoin to support John Deaton's political campaign against Senator Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.). Last month, the brothers donated $2 million in Bitcoin to Trump's 2024 election campaign.
行业内人士对特朗普和支持数字货币的候选人的支持已经上升。加密货币交易所Gemini的联合创始人温克莱沃斯兄弟向支持约翰·迪顿（John Deaton）对抗伊丽莎白·沃伦（Elizabeth Warren）参议员（D-Mass.）的竞选活动捐赠了100万美元的比特币。上个月，两兄弟向特朗普2024年的选举活动捐赠了200万美元的比特币。
However, not everyone is in agreement. Ethereum (CRYPTO: ETH) co-founder, Vitalik Buterin, raised objections to choosing political allegiances based solely on a candidate's pro-cryptocurrency stance.
然而，并非所有人都同意。以太坊（CRYPTO:ETH）的联合创始人维塔利克·布特林提出了反对意见，认为仅仅因为候选人支持数字货币就选择政治盟友不可取。
Price Action: At the time of writing, Bitcoin was exchanging hands at $63,484.20, down 1.88% in the last 24 hours, according to data from Benzinga Pro.
价格走势：截至撰写本文时，比特币按63484.20美元交易，过去24小时下跌了1.88％，根据Benzinga Pro的数据。
