Cryptocurrency Market Reels Amidst Geopolitical Tensions

加密貨幣市場在地緣政治緊張局勢中動盪

The cryptocurrency market has been thrown into a state of turbulence over the past weekend, largely triggered by the escalating tensions in the Middle East. Bitcoin, the undisputed king of cryptocurrencies, has borne the brunt of the impact, experiencing a significant plunge in value as geopolitical jitters take hold.

上週末，加密貨幣市場陷入動盪，很大程度上是由中東緊張局勢升級引發的。比特幣作為無可爭議的加密貨幣之王，首當其衝，隨著地緣政治緊張情緒的蔓延，其價值大幅下跌。

On Saturday, reports emerged that Iran had launched a barrage of missile and drone strikes against Israel. This bold retaliation, Iran's first direct assault on Israel, was prompted by the April 1st attack on an Iranian diplomatic building in Syria, which resulted in the deaths of nine Iranian officials, including a top general in the Islamic Revolutionary Guards.

週六，有報導稱伊朗對以色列發動了一系列飛彈和無人機攻擊。這次大膽的報復是伊朗對以色列的首次直接攻擊，起因是 4 月 1 日伊朗駐敘利亞外交大樓遭到攻擊，造成 9 名伊朗官員死亡，其中包括伊斯蘭革命衛隊的一名高級將領。

As the threat of war loomed larger, with Iran confirming further missile attacks targeting "specific areas" in Israel, financial markets, including the cryptocurrency sector, felt the ripple effects of the brewing conflict. Bitcoin's price plummeted by 8.07% in a matter of moments as news of the drone deployments spread across the internet. Its once-lofty value of $67,132.1 crumbled to $61,710.58, marking the second consecutive day of losses for the cryptocurrency behemoth.

隨著戰爭威脅日益凸顯，伊朗確認進一步針對以色列「特定地區」進行飛彈襲擊，包括加密貨幣產業在內的金融市場感受到了正在醞釀的衝突的連鎖反應。隨著無人機部署的消息在網路上傳播，比特幣的價格瞬間暴跌 8.07%。其一度高達 67,132.1 美元的價值跌至 61,710.58 美元，標誌著這家加密貨幣巨頭連續第二天下跌。

The past few weeks have been a period of volatility for Bitcoin, with the digital currency losing 12.51% in the last month, according to CoinMarketCap data. The year had begun on a high note for Bitcoin, with a record-shattering all-time high of $73,750.07, a milestone that now seems distant.

CoinMarketCap 數據顯示，過去幾週是比特幣的波動期，上個月該數位貨幣下跌了 12.51%。今年伊始，比特幣就迎來了高調，創下了 73,750.07 美元的歷史新高，而這一里程碑現在看來還很遙遠。

However, with the much-anticipated Bitcoin Halving event on the horizon, investors are clinging to the potential for a dramatic price increase. Historically, such events have spurred significant economic shifts. Offering a glimmer of optimism, Bitcoin has since recouped approximately 3.61% of its lost value since the Saturday slump, currently trading at $63,943. Daily trading volume has also surged by 22.46%, reaching a robust $57.37 billion.

然而，隨著備受期待的比特幣減半即將到來，投資人仍緊緊抓住價格大幅上漲的潛力。從歷史上看，此類事件引發了重大的經濟轉變。比特幣帶來了一絲樂觀的曙光，自周六暴跌以來，比特幣已經收回了約 3.61% 的損失，目前交易價格為 63,943 美元。日交易量也暴增 22.46%，達 573.7 億美元。

Altcoins, or alternative cryptocurrencies, have not been spared the market downturn either. Ethereum, the second-largest cryptocurrency and a dominant player in the market, has witnessed its price plummet by 10.89%, falling to $2,880.16. Other notable tokens, including Solana (SOL), XRP, and Avalanche (AVAX), have also suffered significant price declines of 12.68%, 18.11%, and 16.00%, respectively. As a result, the total cryptocurrency market capitalization has dwindled by 7.78%, shrinking to approximately $2.2 trillion.

山寨幣或替代加密貨幣也未能倖免於市場低迷。以太幣是第二大加密貨幣，也是市場的主導者，其價格暴跌 10.89%，跌至 2,880.16 美元。其他值得注意的代幣，包括 Solana (SOL)、XRP 和 Avalanche (AVAX)，價格也分別大幅下跌 12.68%、18.11% 和 16.00%。受此影響，加密貨幣總市值縮水了 7.78%，縮水至約 2.2 兆美元。

As geopolitical tensions continue to simmer, the trajectory of the cryptocurrency market remains uncertain. Investors around the world are keeping a keen eye on the fluctuating prices that shape the future of digital currencies. The outcome of the conflict in the Middle East and its implications for global stability will significantly influence the market's direction in the coming days and weeks.

隨著地緣政治緊張局勢持續發酵，加密貨幣市場的軌跡仍然不確定。世界各地的投資者都在密切關注塑造數位貨幣未來的價格波動。中東衝突的結果及其對全球穩定的影響將在未來幾天和幾週內顯著影響市場的走向。
