A sudden price collapse has seen bitcoin fall to its lowest level since November, sparking a broader sell-off that wiped nearly half a trillion dollars from the crypto market in recent days.

自11月以來，比特幣突然崩潰已經降至其最低水平，近來造成了更廣泛的拋售，從加密貨幣市場削減了近半萬億美元。

The world’s leading cryptocurrency fell below $89,000 on Tuesday, just a month after hitting an all-time high above $108,000. The peak coincided with the inauguration of Donald Trump, with the incoming US leader promising to be the first ever “bitcoin president”.

全球領先的加密貨幣在周二跌至108,000美元以上的歷史最高點之後的一個月後，下跌了89,000美元。山峰與唐納德·特朗普的就職典禮相吻合，即將上任的美國領導人承諾成為有史以來第一位“比特幣總統”。

The latest downturn has also been partly attributed to President Trump, as he is yet to fulfill any of his major pledges after nearly a month in office.

最新的衰退也部分歸因於特朗普總統，因為他在任職近一個月後尚未履行他的任何主要承諾。

“While the new Trump administration in the US has been vocal in its pro-crypto stance, the industry is still waiting for this to manifest in a tangible way in the form of measures such as a mooted Bitcoin Strategic Reserve,” Petr Kozyakov, co-founder and chief executive of the crypto exchange Mercuryo, told The Independent.

“雖然美國新的特朗普政府在其親克萊托普的立場上一直發聲，但該行業仍在等待以一種切實的方式以措施的形式表現出來，例如諸如比特幣戰略儲備之類的措施，” Petr Kozyakov - 加密交易所Mercuryo的發現者兼首席執行官告訴《獨立報》。

The broader crypto market was also impacted by a hack of the Bybit platform on Friday, which has been described as the “biggest digital heist ever”. Hackers were able to steal around $1.5 billion (£1.2bn) after gaining control of an ethereum wallet operated by the Dubai-based crypto exchange.

週五，BYBIT平台的黑客攻擊也受到了更廣泛的加密市場的影響，該市場被描述為“有史以來最大的數字搶劫”。在控制了總部位於迪拜的加密貨幣交易所經營的以太坊錢包後，黑客能夠偷走約15億美元（12億英鎊）。

Ethereum has dropped more than 15 per cent in value since the hack – more than double the relative losses of bitcoin – while other popular cryptocurrencies like Solana and XRP also suffered considerable losses.

自從黑客（Hack）（比特幣的相對損失）以來，以太坊的價值下降了15％以上 - 而其他流行的加密貨幣（如Solana和XRP）也遭受了相當大的損失。

Bitcoin has remained the most valuable cryptocurrency since its inception in 2009, with its finite supply drawing comparisons to safe-haven assets like precious metals. But despite this growing reputation, industry figures warn that the latest sell-off demonstrates that it is not yet considered a form of digital gold by investors.

自2009年成立以來，比特幣一直是最有價值的加密貨幣，其有限的供應繪製比較與貴金屬（如貴金屬）的資產進行了比較。但是，儘管聲譽越來越大，但行業人物警告說，最新的拋售表明，投資者尚未將其視為數字黃金的一種形式。

“The cryptocurrency market is having a heliocentric reckoning as bitcoin slides below $89,000 amid a faltering US stock market,” said Mr Kozyakov.

Kozyakov先生說：“加密貨幣市場的居民估算是在美國股票市場步履蹣跚的情況下，比特幣幻燈片低於89,000美元。”

“Rather than being at the centre of the financial universe, bitcoin’s place remains far out on the periphery as an ultra risk-on asset to be readily sold at the very hint of troubles ahead.”

“比特幣的住所不在金融界的中心，而是在外圍仍然很遠，因為它是一種超出風險的資產，可以在未來的麻煩中很容易出售。”
