比特幣減半和以太坊 ETF 批准擔憂導致加密市場暴跌

週五加密貨幣市場開盤走勢慘淡，比特幣、以太幣和 Solana 等知名代幣早盤交易量出現下滑。據推測，這種波動是由於對即將到來的比特幣減半的預期，因為交易者正在權衡對定價的潛在影響。比特幣價格在過去 24 小時內下跌超過 4%，在近期創下多個歷史新高後逐漸降溫。

Cryptocurrency Market Stumbles as Bitcoin Halving Looms

隨著比特幣減半的臨近，加密貨幣市場陷入困境

The cryptocurrency market opened in the red on Friday, indicating potential volatility ahead of the upcoming Bitcoin halving. Several major cryptocurrencies, including Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), and Solana (SOL), experienced declines in early morning trading.

加密貨幣市場週五開盤下跌，顯示比特幣即將減半之前可能會出現波動。包括比特幣（BTC）、以太幣（ETH）和 Solana（SOL）在內的幾種主要加密貨幣在早盤交易中都出現下跌。

Bitcoin, the largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization, witnessed a drop of over 4% in the past 24 hours, trading at approximately $63,400, according to CoinGecko. The asset's price has been fluctuating after reaching several all-time highs in recent weeks. Traders are closely monitoring the market in anticipation of the Bitcoin halving, an event that will reduce the number of new bitcoins entering circulation. The halving could potentially influence the price of bitcoin, either driving a surge or leading to a dip.

根據 CoinGecko 的數據，市值最大的加密貨幣比特幣在過去 24 小時內下跌了 4% 以上，交易價格約為 63,400 美元。該資產的價格在近幾週達到多個歷史高點後一直在波動。交易員正在密切關注市場，預計比特幣減半將減少進入流通的新比特幣數量。減半可能會影響比特幣的價格，要麼推動比特幣價格上漲，要麼導致比特幣價格下跌。

AllianceBernstein, a global financial investment firm, predicted on Thursday that Bitcoin could reach $90,000 by the end of 2024. The bullish sentiment in the market is also being fueled by increased activity around Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) that were approved earlier this year.

全球金融投資公司 AllianceBernstein 週四預測，到 2024 年底，比特幣可能會達到 9 萬美元。今年稍早批准的比特幣交易所交易基金 (ETF) 活動的增加也加劇了市場的看漲情緒。

"ETFs now represent $4 to $5 billion in average daily BTC spot market volume," said John O'Loghlen, Coinbase Asia-Pacific Managing Director, in a statement to Decrypt. "So [ETFs] are 15 to 20% of the total across the centralized exchanges globally."

Coinbase 亞太區董事總經理 John O'Loghlen 在 Decrypt 的聲明中表示：“ETF 目前代表 BTC 現貨市場日均成交量為 4 至 50 億美元。” “因此，[ETF] 佔全球中心化交易所總量的 15% 到 20%。”

Ethereum, the second-largest cryptocurrency, has also taken a hit, falling nearly 6% in the past 24 hours, trading at approximately $3,320. While traders await the decision of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on whether to approve spot Ethereum ETFs, investment firms such as BlackRock and Grayscale have filed applications with the regulatory body.

第二大加密貨幣以太幣也遭受重創，過去24小時下跌近6%，交易價格約3,320美元。當交易員等待美國證券交易委員會 (SEC) 關於是否批准現貨以太坊 ETF 的決定時，貝萊德 (BlackRock) 和灰階 (Grayscale) 等投資公司已向監管機構提交了申請。

However, enthusiasm for an Ethereum ETF has been dampened by concerns that the SEC could deem ETH a security. The Ethereum Foundation recently disclosed that it is being investigated by an unnamed "state authority." Fortune reported that the SEC is reportedly investigating the foundation.

然而，由於擔心 SEC 可能將 ETH 視為證券，人們對以太坊 ETF 的熱情受到了打擊。以太坊基金會最近透露，它正在接受一個未透露姓名的「國家當局」的調查。 《財星》雜誌報道稱，美國證券交易委員會正在調查該基金會。

"On any one of these crypto tokens, it's going to be the facts and circumstances as to whether the investing public is anticipating profits based on the efforts of others," SEC Chair Gary Gensler told Bloomberg Television earlier this month. "We do have filings in front of us. I'm not going to comment."

美國證券交易委員會主席加里·根斯勒本月早些時候對彭博電視台表示：“對於任何一種加密代幣，投資公眾是否會根據其他人的努力來預期利潤將取決於事實和情況。” “我們確實有文件擺在我們面前。我不會發表評論。”

Solana, which has been gaining attention due to a surge in meme coin trading activity, has experienced a steeper decline, plunging 8% in the past 24 hours and currently trading at around $171. Just days earlier, SOL had surpassed the $200 mark for the first time in over two months.

由於 meme 幣交易活動激增而受到關注的 Solana 經歷了更大幅度的跌幅，在過去 24 小時內暴跌 8%，目前交易價格約為 171 美元。就在幾天前，SOL 兩個多月來首次突破 200 美元大關。

The Solana network has been facing congestion issues in recent weeks due to the surge in meme coin demand. However, the network could experience some relief as the frenzy cools off, at least for the time being. Notably, key Solana meme coin prices have been declining, with BONK falling 9%, Dogwifhat (WIF) dipping by 6%, and Slerf (SLERF) plunging by nearly 25%.

由於 meme 幣需求激增，Solana 網路最近幾週一直面臨擁塞問題。然而，隨著狂熱的降溫，網路可能會得到一些緩解，至少暫時是這樣。值得注意的是，主要的 Solana meme 代幣價格一直在下跌，其中 BONK 下跌 9%，Dogwifhat (WIF) 下跌 6%，Slerf (SLERF) 下跌近 25%。

The cryptocurrency market remains uncertain as it navigates the upcoming Bitcoin halving and regulatory uncertainties surrounding Ethereum. Investors are urged to proceed with caution and conduct thorough research before making any trading decisions.

由於即將到來的比特幣減半和圍繞以太坊的監管不確定性，加密貨幣市場仍然存在不確定性。敦促投資者在做出任何交易決定之前謹慎行事並進行徹底的研究。
