伊朗和以色列空襲擾亂虛擬資產市場

在伊朗和以色列緊張局勢的背景下，3月14日加密貨幣市場大幅下跌。受伊朗空襲訊息觸發，比特幣暴跌約 10%，跌破 6 萬美元區間。山寨幣也經歷了大幅下跌，有些跌幅超過 20%。比特幣的下跌引發了人們對比特幣避險地位的擔憂，此前人們曾將比特幣與黃金進行比較。

Virtual Asset Market Roiled by News of Iran-Israel Airstrike

伊朗和以色列空襲消息攪動虛擬資產市場

[New York City, United States] - The virtual asset market experienced a significant downturn following news of an airstrike launched by Iran on Israel on the night of March 13, local time. The attack, involving dozens of armed drones and missiles, sent shockwaves through the financial world.

【美國紐約】當地時間3月13日晚，伊朗對以色列發動空襲的消息傳出後，虛擬資產市場大幅下滑。這次襲擊涉及數十架武裝無人機和飛彈，震驚了金融界。

Bitcoin, the largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization, plummeted by approximately 10% in the early hours of March 14 (Korean Standard Time), falling to the $60,000 range. Altcoins, alternative cryptocurrencies to Bitcoin, also experienced sharp declines, with some losing over 20% of their value.

市值最大的加密貨幣比特幣在 3 月 14 日（韓國標準時間）凌晨暴跌約 10%，跌至 6 萬美元區間。山寨幣（比特幣的替代加密貨幣）也經歷了大幅下跌，其中一些幣值損失了 20% 以上。

Bitcoin's Safe Haven Status Challenged

比特幣的避風港地位受到挑戰

Bitcoin has often been touted as "digital gold," implying that it can serve as a safe haven asset during periods of market volatility. However, the recent price plunge has raised questions about Bitcoin's reliability in this regard.

比特幣經常被吹捧為“數位黃金”，這意味著它可以在市場波動期間充當避險資產。然而，最近的價格暴跌引發了人們對比特幣在這方面可靠性的質疑。

According to CoinMarketCap data on March 14, Bitcoin traded at $63,924, down 4.76% from the previous day. The cryptocurrency briefly dropped to $60,660 after news of the Iran-Israel airstrike broke at 4 a.m. (Korean Standard Time).

根據 CoinMarketCap 3 月 14 日數據，比特幣交易價格為 63,924 美元，較前一交易日下跌 4.76%。凌晨 4 點（韓國標準時間）伊朗和以色列空襲的消息傳出後，加密貨幣一度跌至 60,660 美元。

This represents the first time in around a month that Bitcoin has fallen below the $60,000 level, after reaching this threshold on February 20.

這是繼 2 月 20 日觸及 6 萬美元大關後，大約一個月來比特幣首次跌破 6 萬美元的水平。

Altcoins Suffer Steep Losses

山寨幣遭受嚴重損失

Altcoins, which often exhibit higher volatility than Bitcoin, also experienced significant losses. Ripple (XRP) fell by 12.44%, Solana (SOL) by 9.59%, Sui (SUI) by 14.39%, and Aptos (APT) by 10.30%.

通常表現出比比特幣更高波動性的山寨幣也遭受了重大損失。 Ripple（XRP）下跌12.44％，Solana（SOL）下跌9.59％，Sui（SUI）下跌14.39％，Aptos（APT）下跌10.30％。

Kimchi Premium Soars

泡菜溢價飆升

The "Kimchi Premium," the difference between Bitcoin prices in South Korea and overseas, surged to nearly 20% in the wake of the early morning market plunge. Even at present, the Kimchi Premium remains above 10%.

早盤市場暴跌後，「泡菜溢價」（即韓國與海外比特幣價格之間的差異）飆升至近 20%。即使目前，泡菜溢價仍維持在10%以上。

This is the first time in three years that the Kimchi Premium has reached such high levels, last seen in May 2021. At that time, the premium soared due to excessive investor sentiment as Bitcoin reached its all-time high.

這是泡菜溢價三年來首次達到如此高的水平，上次出現在 2021 年 5 月。

Liquidations and Volatility

清算和波動性

Coinglass, a virtual asset analysis firm, estimates that approximately $954 million in virtual asset futures positions were liquidated within a 24-hour period. Long positions, which bet on rising prices, accounted for $772 million of these liquidations.

虛擬資產分析公司 Coinglass 估計，約 9.54 億美元的虛擬資產期貨部位在 24 小時內被清算。在這些清算中，押注價格上漲的多頭部位佔 7.72 億美元。

The sharp drop in Bitcoin prices has resulted in the liquidation of 14.23% of outstanding Bitcoin futures transaction agreements.

比特幣價格的大幅下跌導致14.23%的未平倉比特幣期貨交易協議被清算。

External Factors Influence Market

外在因素影響市場

The virtual asset market has been grappling with several adverse factors in recent times. The release of the U.S. consumer price index (CPI) for March on March 10 exceeded market forecasts, dampening investor sentiment amid concerns over rising inflation and potential interest rate hikes.

近年來，虛擬資產市場一直面臨一些不利因素。 3月10日公佈的美國3月份消費者物價指數（CPI）超出市場預期，因擔心通膨上升和可能升息而打壓投資者情緒。

The ongoing war in Ukraine and geopolitical tensions have further fueled market instability. The Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME) Group FedWatch tool currently estimates a 72% probability of a rate hike in June.

烏克蘭持續的戰爭和地緣政治緊張局勢進一步加劇了市場不穩定。芝加哥商品交易所（CME）集團的 FedWatch 工具目前估計 6 月升息的可能性為 72%。

Cryptocurrency Trading Firm Weighs In

加密貨幣交易公司介入

QCP Capital, a Singapore-based cryptocurrency trading firm, stated in a report that "the Iranian threat of retaliation against Israel last night (local time) triggered the sale of risky assets, including cryptocurrency."

總部位於新加坡的加密貨幣交易公司QCP Capital在一份報告中表示，“昨晚（當地時間）伊朗威脅對以色列進行報復，引發了包括加密貨幣在內的風險資產的出售。”

Bitcoin's Value as a Safe Asset Questioned

比特幣作為安全資產的價值受到質疑

The recent decline in Bitcoin prices has raised questions about its value as a safe asset, particularly during periods of conflict. Unlike traditional safe havens like gold, Bitcoin has exhibited a sharp decline in response to the war situation.

最近比特幣價格的下跌引發了人們對其作為安全資產的價值的質疑，特別是在衝突時期。與黃金等傳統避險資產不同，比特幣因戰局而大幅下跌。

However, it is important to note that during the Russian invasion of Ukraine on February 24, 2022, Bitcoin experienced a similar 9% drop in the early hours following the news. However, the cryptocurrency subsequently recovered and rose in value, suggesting that it may still retain some safe haven characteristics in the long run.

然而，值得注意的是，在 2022 年 2 月 24 日俄羅斯入侵烏克蘭期間，比特幣在消息傳出後的凌晨也經歷了類似的 9% 下跌。然而，加密貨幣隨後復甦併升值，表明從長遠來看它可能仍保留一些避險特徵。
