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

自11月以來，比特幣突然跌至其最低水平，引發了更廣泛的衰退，最近幾天，它從加密貨幣市場上擦了近半萬億美元。

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 fulfil 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 touted for its pro-cryptoeconomic stance and the industry is eagerly awaiting this to manifest in a tangible way in the form of measures such as a mooted Bitcoin Strategic Reserve, President Trump has yet to deliver on any of his key promises despite nearly a month in the White House,” Petr Kozyakov, co-founder and chief executive of the crypto payment infrastructure platform Mercuryo, told The Independent.

“儘管美國的新特朗普政府因其親密經濟的立場而受到吹捧，該行業急切地等待著這一點，以一種措施的形式表現出來，例如，特朗普總統尚未交付儘管在白宮待了近一個月，但他的任何主要承諾都在他的任何主要承諾中。

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 sell-offs.

自從黑客攻擊以來，以太坊的價值下降了15％以上，是比特幣的相對損失的兩倍以上 - 而其他流行的加密貨幣（如Solana和XRP）也遭受了相當大的拋售。

Bitcoin has remained the most valuable cryptocurrency since its inception in 2009, with its finite supply and scarcity drawing comparisons to safe-haven assets like gold and silver. But despite this growing reputation, industry figures می‌گویند 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，比特幣仍然是最有價值的加密貨幣，其有限的供應和稀缺性繪製了與黃金和白銀等安全資產的比較。但是，儘管聲譽越來越大，但行業數字的最新拋售表明，尚未將其視為投資者的數字黃金形式。

“The cryptocurrency market is having a heliocentric reckoning as bitcoin slides below $89,000 amid a faltering US stock market and President Trump’s promises begin to flounder,” said Mr Kozyakov.

Kozyakov先生說：“加密貨幣市場以高中為中心的估算值，因為比特幣在美國股市步履蹣跚的情況下，比特幣幻燈片低於89,000美元，而特朗普總統的諾言開始陷入困境。”

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

“比特幣的位置並沒有成為金融界的中心，而是在外圍仍然是一種超級風險的資產，在未來的宏觀經濟或政治麻煩的暗示下很容易出售。”
