鮑威爾暗示聯準會將在 2025 年放緩降息，比特幣和以太幣暴跌

本週加密貨幣市場的低迷並未減弱。過去 24 小時內，比特幣價格下跌 7.3%，至 94,662 美元。

Major cryptocurrencies continued to slide on Friday, extending losses seen earlier in the week after the Federal Reserve hinted at slowing interest rate cuts in 2025.

週五，主要加密貨幣繼續下滑，延續了本週早些時候聯準會暗示 2025 年降息放緩後的跌幅。

Over the past 24 hours, Bitcoin slipped 7.3% to now trade at $94,662. The world’s largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization dropped below the key $100,000 level on Thursday.

過去 24 小時內，比特幣下跌 7.3%，目前交易價格為 94,662 美元。全球市值最大的加密貨幣週四跌破 10 萬美元關鍵水準。

Meanwhile, Ether dropped 13% to $3,213. The token, which powers the Ethereum blockchain, also slid below a key level on Thursday, having dropped out of the $4,000 range.

與此同時，以太幣價格下跌 13% 至 3,213 美元。為以太坊區塊鏈提供動力的代幣週四也跌破關鍵水平，跌破 4,000 美元的區間。

Broader crypto market slumps

更廣泛的加密貨幣市場暴跌

The flagging market was especially brutal for dominant altcoins. Solana slid 14%, Cardano dropped 18%, and XRP, the token linked to Ripple, tanked almost 13%.

對於主導的山寨幣來說，低迷的市場尤其殘酷。 Solana 下跌 14%，Cardano 下跌 18%，與 Ripple 掛鉤的代幣 XRP 下跌近 13%。

The drawback continued a trend of bearish sentiment seen earlier in the week.

這個缺點延續了本週稍早出現的看跌情緒趨勢。

On Wednesday, Jerome Powell, chair of the Federal Reserve, said that interest rate cuts will slow in 2025. Bitcoin dropped in price soon after.

週三，聯準會主席鮑威爾表示，2025 年降息將放緩。

“The market is reacting strongly to expectation setting from the Fed on rate cuts next year,” Lennix Lai, the chief commercial officer at crypto exchange OKX, told DL News.

加密貨幣交易所 OKX 首席商務官 Lennix Lai 告訴 DL News：“市場對聯準會明年降息的預期反應強烈。”

Still, the crypto market hovers near historic highs after Donald Trump’s win in November sparked a wave of industry optimism.

儘管如此，在唐納德·川普 (Donald Trump) 11 月獲勝引發行業樂觀情緒後，加密貨幣市場仍徘徊在歷史高點附近。

Its total value is about $3.5 trillion, which is more than double what the market was worth at the end of 2023.

其總價值約為3.5兆美元，是2023年底市價的兩倍多。

Trump factor ‘priced in’

川普因素已被“定價”

Lai nevertheless cautioned that this week’s pullback may persist in the short-term, and prices may remain volatile.

不過，賴警告稱，本週的回檔可能會在短期內持續，價格可能會繼續波動。

“The approaching holiday season has historically brought reduced liquidity conditions,” he said.

「從歷史上看，即將到來的假期會帶來流動性狀況的減少，」他說。

And, he said, Trump’s pro-crypto stance is now largely priced in.

而且，他表示，川普支持加密貨幣的立場現在已基本被消化。

“Traders should remain mindful that the path to institutional adoption and policy reform will likely be gradual rather than immediate,” Lai concluded, “even with potential changes in the US administration.”

賴總結道：“交易者應保持警惕，即使美國政府可能發生變化，機構採用和政策改革的道路也可能是漸進的，而不是立即發生的。”
