傑羅姆·鮑威爾表示聯準會不能持有比特幣，將決定權留給國會

聯準會主席鮑威爾在記者會上指出，美國央行不允許持有比特幣。

Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell has confirmed that the central bank is not permitted to hold Bitcoin, leaving the decision to Congress.

聯準會主席鮑威爾已確認央行不得持有比特幣，將決定權交給國會。

During a press conference on Wednesday, Powell was asked about the possibility of the U.S. government building a Bitcoin reserve, similar to how it holds gold.

在周三的新聞發布會上，鮑威爾被問到美國政府建立比特幣儲備的可能性，類似於持有黃金的方式。

“We're not allowed to own bitcoin. The Federal Reserve Act says what we can own, and we're not looking for a law change. That's something for Congress to decide, not the Fed,” Powell said.

「我們不被允許擁有比特幣。 《聯邦儲備法》規定了我們可以擁有什麼，我們並不尋求修改法律。這是由國會決定的事情，而不是聯準會，」鮑威爾說。

These statements come amid growing interest in Bitcoin as a potential asset for the U.S. government to hold. President-elect Donald Trump has supported the idea, suggesting that the U.S. should not fall behind other countries in the global crypto race.

這些聲明發布之際，人們對比特幣作為美國政府持有的潛在資產的興趣日益濃厚。當選總統唐納德·川普支持這個想法，並表示美國不應在全球加密貨幣競賽中落後於其他國家。

Some pro-crypto senators, including Senator Cynthia Lummis from Wyoming, have also been pushing for this idea. Lummis has even drafted a bill requiring the U.S. Treasury to buy one million Bitcoin over the next five years.

一些支持加密貨幣的參議員，包括來自懷俄明州的參議員辛西婭·魯米斯（Cynthia Lummis），也一直在推動這個想法。 Lummis 甚至起草了一項法案，要求美國財政部在未來五年內購買 100 萬比特幣。

Following Powell’s comments, the cryptocurrency market reacted quickly. Bitcoin dropped to $100,300, down about 5.7% over the past 24 hours. At the time of press, Bitcoin was trading at $100,740.

鮑威爾此番言論後，加密貨幣市場迅速做出反應。比特幣跌至 100,300 美元，過去 24 小時下跌約 5.7%。截至發稿時，比特幣交易價格為 100,740 美元。

The broader cryptocurrency market also took a hit. Ethereum fell by 6.8%, Binance Coin (BNB) dropped by 4.6%, and Solana (SOL) by 8.1%. Dogecoin (DOGE) performed the least among the top 10 ranked tokens, dropping by 11% to $0.348.

更廣泛的加密貨幣市場也受到了打擊。以太幣下跌 6.8%，幣安幣 (BNB) 下跌 4.6%，Solana (SOL) 下跌 8.1%。狗狗幣 (DOGE) 在前 10 名的代幣中表現最差，下跌 11% 至 0.348 美元。

The stock market also reacted negatively to Powell’s comments. The S&P 500 closed with a loss of 1.55%, and the Nasdaq 100 dropped by around 2%.

股市也對鮑威爾的言論做出負面反應。標普 500 指數收盤下跌 1.55%，那斯達克指數 100 指數下跌約 2%。

These reactions highlight how the market is closely tied to news about government policies, especially when it comes to cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin. Powell’s stance on not supporting a Bitcoin reserve created uncertainty among investors, who quickly adjusted their positions by selling.

這些反應凸顯了市場與政府政策新聞的緊密聯繫，尤其是在涉及比特幣等加密貨幣時。鮑威爾不支持比特幣儲備的立場為投資者帶來了不確定性，他們迅速透過拋售調整部位。

Powell's comments and their impact on the market demonstrate how Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies are heavily influenced by investors and policymakers.

鮑威爾的言論及其對市場的影響表明了比特幣和其他加密貨幣如何受到投資者和政策制定者的嚴重影響。
