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.
該報告強調，到2024年，將近8％的薩爾瓦多人使用比特幣進行交易，稱對於一個傳統上電子支付採用率較低的國家來說，這是向前邁出的 「有意義的一步」。
Sigel touched down on the country's soaring Bitcoin reserves, which represented 1.6% of the country's GDP.
西格爾談到了該國不斷飆升的比特幣儲備，佔該國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.
「火山債券」 的想法也受到了稱讚，該債券的收益旨在資助比特幣城的開發，這是一個由地熱能驅動的經濟區。
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押注該國作爲清潔能源驅動的比特幣採礦中心的潛力。有趣的是，就在前一天，納伊布·布克勒總統提出了 「租你的火山開採比特幣」 的想法。
The report also foresaw strong collaboration between the incoming Donald Trump administration and El Salvador.
該報告還預見了即將上任的唐納德·特朗普政府與薩爾瓦多之間的密切合作。
"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."
「憑藉特朗普對比特幣的有據可查的支持，並專注於回岸和 「朋友支撐」 供應鏈，薩爾瓦多可能會成爲美國建立區域聯盟努力的戰略合作伙伴。」
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.
爲何重要：自2021年採用世界上最大的數字貨幣作爲法定貨幣以來，薩爾瓦多已將比特幣的投資翻了一番。該國已經通過了一項計劃，每天購買一個比特幣，直到法定貨幣買不起爲止。
As of this writing, El Salvador holds 5,945.77 Bitcoins in its treasury, worth nearly $561 million at current market prices.
截至撰寫本文時，薩爾瓦多的國庫中持有5,945.77個比特幣，按當前市場價格計算價值近5.61億美元。
But despite the promising figures, the Bitcoin adoption in El Salvador has not been a resounding success.
但是，儘管有令人鼓舞的數字，但薩爾瓦多采用比特幣並未取得巨大成功。
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，布克勒總統承認，該國對比特幣的吸收並不像預期的那麼廣泛。但是，他強調說，政府從未強迫任何人採用它，而是將其作爲一種選擇。
Price Action: As of this writing, Bitcoin was exchanging hands at $94,259.83, down 3.74% in the last 24 hours, according to data from Benzinga Pro.
價格走勢：根據Benzinga Pro的數據，截至撰寫本文時，比特幣的交易價格爲94,259.83美元，在過去24小時內下跌了3.74％。
