The report highlighted that nearly 8% of Salvadorans have used Bitcoin for transactions by 2024, terming it a "meaningful step" forward for a country with traditionally low electronic payment adoption rates.
该报告强调，到2024年，将近8％的萨尔瓦多人使用比特币进行交易，称对于一个传统上电子支付采用率较低的国家来说，这是向前迈出的 “有意义的一步”。
Sigel touched down on the country's soaring Bitcoin reserves, which represented 1.6% of the country's GDP.
西格尔谈到了该国不断飙升的比特币储备，占该国GDP的1.6％。
The idea of a "Volcano Bond," the proceeds of which are aimed to fund the development of Bitcoin City, an economic zone powered by geothermal energy, was also lauded.
“火山债券” 的想法也受到了称赞，该债券的收益旨在资助比特币城的开发，这是一个由地热能驱动的经济区。
Furthermore, VanEck bet on the country's potential as a clean energy-powered Bitcoin mining hub. Interestingly, President Nayib Bukele floated the "rent your volcano to mine Bitcoin" idea just a day before.
此外，VanEck押注该国作为清洁能源驱动的比特币采矿中心的潜力。有趣的是，就在前一天，纳伊布·布克勒总统提出了 “租你的火山开采比特币” 的想法。
The report also foresaw strong collaboration between the incoming Donald Trump administration and El Salvador.
该报告还预见了即将上任的唐纳德·特朗普政府与萨尔瓦多之间的密切合作。
"With Trump's well-documented support for Bitcoin and focus on reshoring and "friend-shoring" supply chains, El Salvador could emerge as a strategic partner in U.S. efforts to build regional alliances."
“凭借特朗普对比特币的有据可查的支持，并专注于回岸和 “朋友支撑” 供应链，萨尔瓦多可能会成为美国建立区域联盟努力的战略合作伙伴。”
Why It Matters: El Salvador has doubled down on Bitcoin ever since adopting the world's largest digital currency as a legal tender in 2021. The country has adopted a plan to buy one Bitcoin every day, until it becomes unaffordable with fiat currencies.
为何重要：自2021年采用世界上最大的数字货币作为法定货币以来，萨尔瓦多已将比特币的投资翻了一番。该国已经通过了一项计划，每天购买一个比特币，直到法定货币买不起为止。
As of this writing, El Salvador holds 5,945.77 Bitcoins in its treasury, worth nearly $561 million at current market prices.
截至撰写本文时，萨尔瓦多的国库中持有5,945.77个比特币，按当前市场价格计算价值近5.61亿美元。
But despite the promising figures, the Bitcoin adoption in El Salvador has not been a resounding success.
但是，尽管有令人鼓舞的数字，但萨尔瓦多采用比特币并未取得巨大成功。
Earlier in August, President Bukele admitted that the uptake of Bitcoin in the country hasn't been as widespread as anticipated. However, he emphasized that the government never forced anyone to adopt it, offering it as an option instead.
8月初，布克勒总统承认，该国对比特币的吸收并不像预期的那么广泛。但是，他强调说，政府从未强迫任何人采用它，而是将其作为一种选择。

价格走势：根据Benzinga Pro的数据，截至撰写本文时，比特币的交易价格为94,259.83美元，在过去24小时内下跌了3.74％。
