貝萊德首席執行官拉里·芬克（Larry Fink）警告說，比特幣可以取代美元作為全球儲備貨幣

資產管理公司BlackRock的首席執行官Larry Fink在他的年度信中警告說，美元可能會失去對比特幣的霸權。

Larry Fink, CEO of asset management firm BlackRock, has warned that the U.S. dollar could lose its hegemony to Bitcoin as the U.S. national debt balloons and threatens the greenback’s long-standing reserve currency status.

資產管理公司BlackRock的首席執行官Larry Fink警告說，由於美國國家債務氣球，美元可能會失去對比特幣的霸權，並威脅著Greenback的長期儲備貨幣狀況。

Fink said that Bitcoin might become a more preferable investment than the U.S. dollar.

芬克說，比特幣可能比美元更可取的投資。

“We see the U.S. dollar remaining the principal reserve currency for the foreseeable future. But the metaverse, blockchain, and decentralized finance could undermine the economic advantage that the U.S. has built over the last 75 years,” Fink wrote in his annual letter to executives on Wednesday.

Fink在周三給高管人員的年度信中寫道：“我們看到美元在可預見的未來仍然是主要儲備貨幣。但是，元，區塊鍊和分散的財務可能會破壞美國過去75年中美國建立的經濟優勢。”

Decentralized finance could potentially reduce the need for institutions and government bodies, which in turn could lessen the U.S.’s role in the global financial system, he added.

他補充說，分散的金融可能會減少對機構和政府機構的需求，這反過來又可以減少美國在全球金融體系中的作用。

Back in 2020, Fink said that Bitcoin could become a global market like gold.

早在2020年，芬克說，比特幣可能會成為像黃金這樣的全球市場。

This year, asset management titan applied for Bitcoin ETFs, which were later approved by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. The move came after years of applying for ether (ETH) ETFs.

今年，資產管理巨人申請了比特幣ETF，後來得到了美國證券交易委員會的批准。此舉是在多年申請Ether（ETH）ETF之後進行的。

Last October, Fink said that he viewed Bitcoin as a gold alternative.

去年10月，芬克說，他將比特幣視為黃金替代品。

A looming debt crisis?

迫在眉睫的債務危機？

The U.S. national debt currently stands at $36.6 trillion, exceeding the size of the country’s economy. Federal interest payments are expected to exceed $1 trillion in 2026.

美國國家債務目前為36.6萬億美元，超過了該國經濟的規模。聯邦利息支付預計在2026年將超過1萬億美元。

U.S. lawmakers will need to take action on the debt limit by either raising or suspending it. According to the Congressional Budget Office, a potential default is looming this summer.

美國立法者將需要通過提高或中止債務限制採取行動。根據國會預算辦公室的說法，今年夏天潛在的違約正在迫在眉睫。

Earlier this month, billionaire hedge fund manager Ray Dalio predicted that the U.S. could face a severe debt crisis in a few years from now.

本月早些時候，億萬富翁對沖基金經理雷·達利奧（Ray Dalio）預測，從現在開始的幾年後，美國將面臨嚴重的債務危機。

Some pro-Bitcoin analysts say that high national debt could devalue the dollar and benefit the leading cryptocurrency, which is known for its scarcity and serves as a hedge against inflation.

一些親甲幣分析師說，高國債可能會貶值美元並受益於領先的加密貨幣，該貨幣以其稀缺而聞名，並作為對沖通貨膨脹的對沖。

Meanwhile, Strategy co-founder Michael Saylor has said that a U.S. strategic reserve could help reduce national debt.

同時，戰略聯合創始人邁克爾·塞勒（Michael Saylor）表示，美國戰略儲備可以幫助減少國家債務。
