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.
渣打銀行預測比特幣的價格可能會在8月份達到新的歷史高點，並在11月美國總統選舉時暴漲至10萬美元。
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."
消息稱，渣打銀行外匯和數字資產研究主管傑弗裏·肯德里克表示，"在8月份的時候，比特幣可能會創造出新的歷史高點，並在美國選舉時暴漲至10萬美元。"
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.
據The Block報道，這一樂觀的預測是建立在喬·拜登總統依然參選的前提下的。市場認爲，這對於特朗普贏得大選是有利的。
Trump's potential victory is seen as a positive catalyst for Bitcoin.
特朗普潛在的勝選被認爲是比特幣的一個正面催化劑。
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"這裏的邏輯是特朗普的當選會更有利於監管和礦業的發展，"強調着特朗普的選舉前景與比特幣價格的關聯。

Why It Matters: Kendrick outlined an alternative scenario in which Biden withdraws from the race in late July.
肯德里克還概述了一種替代情況，即拜登在7月下旬宣佈退出選舉。
Should this occur, Bitcoin's price could fall to between $50,000 and $55,000.
如果發生這種情況，比特幣的價格可能會下跌到5萬至5.5萬美元之間。
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.
他進一步解釋道，如果拜登的接班人是一個強有力的候選人，如米歇爾·奧巴馬，"比特幣價格將會保持平穩。"相反，如果拜登繼續競選，肯德里克認爲這將是"比特幣投資者的絕佳買入機會。"
The crucial date to watch, according to Kendrick, is August 4.
肯德里克指出，目前需要關注的關鍵日期是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.
"這是俄亥俄州法律規定的總統候選人註冊日期。因此，如果拜登在8月4日仍然是民主黨的提名人，他將在11月的第一週仍然是提名人，"他說。
Kendrick remains firm on his year-end Bitcoin price prediction of $150,000 and an end-of-2025 target of $200,000.
肯德里克對年末比特幣價格的預測保持不變，認爲將達到15萬美元，在2025年底的目標是20萬美元。
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，比特幣的價格若達到15萬美元，將成爲市場價值3萬億美元的"3萬億俱樂部"的一分子，緊隨NVDA達到三萬億美元的市值的足跡。"
As of now, Bitcoin is trading at $62,247, showing little change over the past 24 hours.
截至目前，比特幣的交易價格爲62,247美元，在過去24小時內幾乎沒有變化。
