由加密公司 BitGo 發行的 WBTC 在幣安上在一小時內損失了近 95% 的價值,從 98,500 美元暴跌至 5,209 美元,然後於 11 月 23 日恢復至 98,000 美元左右。
The price of Wrapped Bitcoin (WBTC) crashed by nearly 95% in less than an hour on Binance on Nov. 23, dropping from $98,500 to $5,209 before recovering to around $98,000.
11 月 23 日,Wrapped Bitcoin (WBTC) 的價格在幣安上不到一小時內暴跌近 95%,從 98,500 美元跌至 5,209 美元,然後恢復至 98,000 美元左右。
The sharp price drop occurred just days after Coinbase announced that it would be delisting WBTC due to liquidity concerns. However, the cause of the flash crash remains unknown, with neither BitGo nor the WBTC team commenting on the incident.
就在 Coinbase 宣布因流動性問題將下架 WBTC 幾天后,價格大幅下跌。然而,閃電崩盤的原因仍然未知,BitGo 和 WBTC 團隊都沒有對此事件發表評論。
The incident adds another layer of complexity to the relationship between Coinbase and WBTC’s custodial partner, Justin Sun, who became involved with WBTC through a joint venture between BitGo and his companies. In August, BitGo announced a joint venture with BiTGlobal, a Hong Kong-based trust company linked to Sun.
這一事件使 Coinbase 和 WBTC 託管合作夥伴孫宇晨 (Justin Sun) 之間的關係又增添了一層複雜性,孫宇晨透過 BitGo 與其公司的合資企業參與了 WBTC。 8 月,BitGo 宣布與 BiTGlobal 成立合資企業,BiTGlobal 是與 Sun 相關的香港信託公司。
Sun’s involvement in WBTC has led to the creation of multiple competing tokens. In addition to cBTC, crypto exchange Kraken also launched its wrapped Bitcoin called kBTC. In response to the growing competition, Sun criticized Coinbase for failing to complete a proof-of-reserves process for cbBTC.
Sun 參與 WBTC 導致了多種競爭代幣的創建。除了 cBTC 之外,加密貨幣交易所 Kraken 還推出了名為 kBTC 的包裝比特幣。為了因應日益激烈的競爭,Sun 批評 Coinbase 未能完成 cbBTC 的儲備證明流程。
Launched in 2019, WBTC allows Bitcoin liquidity to flow into decentralized finance ecosystems by tokenizing Bitcoin (BTC). The token is pegged 1:1 with Bitcoin and currently has a market capitalization nearing the $14 billion mark.
WBTC 於 2019 年推出,透過對比特幣 (BTC) 進行代幣化,讓比特幣流動性流入去中心化金融生態系統。該代幣與比特幣 1:1 掛鉤,目前市值接近 140 億美元大關。
