Bitcoin, XRP og Solana ga hver mer enn 40 % avkastning under den samme månedlige kjøpsstrategien. En Bitcoin-portefølje nådde omtrent 8 660 dollar, XRP nådde 8 465 dollar, og Solana endte på 8 025 dollar. Trons TRX utmerket seg som den klare vinneren, med porteføljen som steg hvert eneste år: 1 000 dollar i 2022, 3 679 dollar i 2023, 11 032 dollar i 2024, 13 723 dollar i 2025, og 16 521 dollar innen august 2026.
" We need to ensure "Tron's TRX" -> "Trons TRX" (proper noun). Also, "portfolio" -> "portefølje". Next: "The 2024 rally drove most of those gains. By the end of that year, a Solana portfolio was worth $17,728, XRP had reached $14,345, Bitcoin sat at $10,193, and even Cardano had climbed to $7,251.
" Translation: "2024-rallyet sto for det meste av gevinstene. Ved slutten av det året var en Solana-portefølje verdt 17 728 dollar, XRP hadde nådd 14 345 dollar, Bitcoin lå på 10 193 dollar, og til og med Cardano hadde klatret til 7 251 dollar.
" Next: "What 2024 changed
The market's turning point came in January 2024, when the SEC approved spot Bitcoin ETFs, followed by spot Ethereum ETFs in May. Donald Trump's November 2024 election victory added fuel — he campaigned on making the US a global crypto hub, building a national Bitcoin stockpile, and replacing SEC Chair Gary Gensler. Bitcoin hit repeated record highs afterward as traders bet on friendlier regulation.
" Translation: "Hva 2024 endret
Markedets vendepunkt kom i januar 2024, da SEC godkjente spot-bitcoin-ETF-er, etterfulgt av spot-ethereum-ETF-er i mai. Donald Trumps valgseier i november 2024 ga ytterligere drivstoff – han lovet å gjøre USA til et globalt kryptosenter, bygge opp en nasjonal bitcoin-reserve og erstatte SEC-leder Gary Gensler. Bitcoin nådde gjentatte rekordhøyder etterpå, ettersom tradere satset på mer vennlig regulering.
" Note: "spot Bitcoin ETFs" -> "spot-bitcoin-ETF-er" or "spot Bitcoin-ETF-er"? In Norwegian, we often use "spot-bitcoin-ETF" but we can keep it as "spot Bitcoin-ETF". Also, "SEC" is proper, "Gary Gensler" proper. We'll use "SEC-leder" for SEC Chair. Next: "The Trump administration followed through on parts of that agenda. It established a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve and a US Digital Asset Stockpile, and signed the GENIUS Act, which created a federal regulatory framework for payment stablecoins.
" Translation: "Trump-administrasjonen gjennomførte deler av denne agendaen. Den etablerte en strategisk bitcoin-reserve og et US Digital Asset-lager, og undertegnet GENIUS-loven, som skapte et føderalt reguleringsrammeverk for betalingsstablecoins.
" Note: "Strategic Bitcoin Reserve" -> "strategisk bitcoin-reserve" (lowercase? but it's a proper name? We can keep as is or translate. We'll use "strategisk bitcoin-reserve" and "US Digital Asset Stockpile" -> "US Digital Asset-lager" or "US Digital Asset Stockpile" but better to keep the English name? Since it's a specific program, we can keep it as "US Digital Asset Stockpile" or translate? The article says "US Digital Asset Stockpile" - we can translate as "US Digital Asset-lager" but it's a proper noun. I'll keep "US Digital Asset Stockpile" as is? But Norwegian readers might understand. Alternatively, "US Digital Asset-lager" is fine. We'll use "US Digital Asset-lager" for clarity. "GENIUS Act" -> "GENIUS
