地緣政治擔憂加劇，加密貨幣市場崩潰

由於伊朗空軍基地附近的緊張局勢引發地緣政治擔憂，全球加密貨幣市場經歷了下滑。截至週五上午，旗艦數位資產比特幣在新加坡跌幅超過 5%，跌至 60,300 美元。這種謹慎情緒也影響了其他代幣，導致加密貨幣領域普遍回調。

Cryptocurrency Markets Plummet Amidst Escalating Geopolitical Tensions

地緣政治緊張局勢升級，加密貨幣市場暴跌

Singapore, April 18, 2024 - The cryptocurrency market has witnessed a sharp decline, with Bitcoin (BTC) experiencing a steep drop of over 5% to $60,300 as of 10:25 a.m. local time. This sudden plunge comes amidst heightened geopolitical risks, overshadowing the upcoming Bitcoin halving event.

新加坡，2024 年 4 月 18 日 - 加密貨幣市場大幅下跌，截至當地時間上午 10:25，比特幣 (BTC) 暴跌超過 5%，至 60,300 美元。這次突然暴跌是在地緣政治風險加劇的情況下發生的，為即將到來的比特幣減半事件蒙上陰影。

The surge in caution among global investors, fueled by reports of explosions near an Iranian air base, has taken its toll on the cryptocurrency market. Traders have become spooked by the potential for escalating tensions between Iran and the United States, leading to a sell-off of riskier assets, including cryptocurrencies.

伊朗空軍基地附近發生爆炸的報導加劇了全球投資者的謹慎態度，這對加密貨幣市場造成了影響。交易員對伊朗和美國之間緊張局勢升級的可能性感到震驚，導致包括加密貨幣在內的高風險資產被拋售。

"The geopolitical risks have overshadowed the upcoming halving, which was previously expected to provide a boost to Bitcoin's price," said Suvashree Ghosh, a cryptocurrency analyst at Bloomberg. "Traders are now more focused on the potential for further market volatility and are hesitant to take on additional risk."

彭博加密貨幣分析師 Suvashree Ghosh 表示：“地緣政治風險掩蓋了即將到來的減半，此前預計減半將提振比特幣價格。” “交易員現在更加關注市場進一步波動的可能性，並且不願承擔額外的風險。”

The Bitcoin halving, scheduled for May 2024, is a highly anticipated event that occurs roughly every four years. It involves a 50% reduction in the issuance rate of new Bitcoins, which has historically led to price increases. However, the current market conditions have dampened expectations for a significant price surge after the halving.

比特幣減半計畫於 2024 年 5 月舉行，是一個備受期待的事件，大約每四年發生一次。它涉及新比特幣發行率降低 50%，這在歷史上曾導致價格上漲。然而，當前的市場狀況削弱了減半後價格大幅上漲的預期。

"The geopolitical situation is creating a lot of uncertainty, and investors are not willing to bet on a sustained rally in Bitcoin until there is more clarity," added Ghosh. "We may see continued volatility in the short term, with investors closely monitoring the situation in Iran and its potential impact on global markets."

Ghosh 補充道：“地緣政治局勢正在造成很多不確定性，在情況更加明朗之前，投資者不願意押注比特幣持續上漲。” “短期內我們可能會看到持續的波動，投資者密切關注伊朗局勢及其對全球市場的潛在影響。”

Other cryptocurrencies have also been affected by the market downturn, with Ethereum (ETH) falling over 4% and Litecoin (LTC) shedding more than 6%. Market participants are closely monitoring developments in Iran and the broader geopolitical landscape, as continued tensions could further weigh on cryptocurrency prices.

其他加密貨幣也受到市場低迷的影響，以太幣（ETH）跌幅超過 4%，萊特幣（LTC）跌幅超過 6%。市場參與者正在密切關注伊朗的事態發展和更廣泛的地緣政治格局，因為持續的緊張局勢可能會進一步打壓加密​​貨幣價格。
