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.
渣打銀行預計，比特幣的價格可能會在8月份達到歷史新高，並可能在11月的美國總統大選之前飆升至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."
發生了什麼：該銀行外匯和數字資產研究主管傑弗裏·肯德里克表示：“8月份比特幣可能會創下歷史新高，然後在美國大選日之前達到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.
The Block報道，這一樂觀的預測取決於喬·拜登總統在即將舉行的選舉中仍然是候選人，市場認爲這有利於唐納德·特朗普的獲勝機會。
Trump's potential victory is seen as a positive catalyst for Bitcoin.
特朗普的潛在勝利被視爲比特幣的積極催化劑。
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，在特朗普的領導下，監管和採礦業都將得到更積極的考慮”，他強調了特朗普的選舉前景與比特幣的價格走勢之間的相關性。

Why It Matters: Kendrick outlined an alternative scenario in which Biden withdraws from the race in late July.
爲何重要：肯德里克概述了拜登在7月下旬退出競選的另一種情景。
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跌至5萬至55,000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.
他詳細闡述說，如果拜登的接班人是像米歇爾·奧巴馬這樣的強有力的候選人，“比特幣價格將保持疲軟。”相反，如果拜登繼續競選，肯德里克將其視爲比特幣投資者的 “絕佳買入機會”。
The crucial date to watch, according to Kendrick, is August 4.
根據肯德里克的說法，值得關注的關鍵日期是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.
“這是俄亥俄州法律要求總統候選人登記的日期。因此，如果拜登在8月4日仍然是民主黨候選人，那麼他在11月的第一週仍然是民主黨候選人，” 他說。
Kendrick remains firm on his year-end Bitcoin price prediction of $150,000 and an end-of-2025 target of $200,000.
肯德里克仍然堅定不移地預測年底比特幣價格爲15萬美元，2025年底目標爲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，繼昨天NVDA達到3萬億美元的市值之後，到2024年底15萬美元的價格將使比特幣的市值加入3萬億美元的俱樂部。”
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。
These projections and market dynamics will be part of the discussions at Benzinga's Future of Digital Assets event on Nov. 19, where industry experts will explore the evolving landscape of digital currencies and their implications.
這些預測和市場動態將成爲11月19日Benzinga數字資產未來活動討論的一部分，屆時行業專家將探討不斷變化的數字貨幣格局及其影響。
