美联储暗示 2025 年降息速度将放缓后，比特币和其他蓝筹加密货币大幅下跌

鲍威尔发表言论后，比特币暴跌至 100,800 美元。继本周早些时候突破 108,000 美元之后，过去 24 小时内下跌 5%。

Bitcoin and other major cryptocurrencies fell sharply Wednesday after the US Federal Reserve cut interest rates by 0.25%, with Chair Jerome Powell flagging a slower pace of cuts in 2025.

美联储降息 0.25% 后，比特币和其他主要加密货币周三大幅下跌，主席杰罗姆·鲍威尔 (Jerome Powell) 表示 2025 年降息步伐将放缓。

Bitcoin dropped to $100,800 after Powell’s comments, marking a 5% loss over the past 24 hours after rising above $108,000 earlier this week.

鲍威尔发表讲话后，比特币价格跌至 100,800 美元，继本周早些时候升至 108,000 美元以上后，过去 24 小时内下跌 5%。

Ethereum fell 6% to $3,690, while XRP dropped 9%.

以太坊下跌 6%，至 3,690 美元，XRP 下跌 9%。

The Federal Reserve began cutting interest rates in September, as inflation cooled and the unemployment rate rose.

随着通胀降温和失业率上升，美联储于 9 月份开始降息。

Investors had largely expected another cut at Wednesday’s meeting. But Powell described it as a “closer call,” suggesting the central bank considered not cutting rates at all.

投资者原本预计周三的会议将再次降息。但鲍威尔将其描述为“千钧一发”，暗示央行考虑根本不降息。

While Fed officials at their September meeting projected four interest rate cuts in 2025, projections today showed they are now expecting only two next year.

尽管美联储官员在 9 月份的会议上预计 2025 年将降息四次，但今天的预测显示他们现在预计明年只会降息两次。

The move to ultimately cut rates while flagging fewer cuts next year signaled a relatively hawkish stance moving forward, said John Haar, Managing Director at Swan Bitcoin.

Swan Bitcoin 董事总经理约翰·哈尔 (John Haar) 表示，最终降息的举措同时标志着明年降息幅度较小，这表明未来将采取相对强硬的立场。

On Tuesday, the CME Group’s FedWatch tool showed the odds of another 0.25% cut in January stood at 81%, and the odds of no cut at less than 2%.

周二，芝商所的美联储观察工具显示，1 月份再次降息 0.25% 的可能性为 81%，不降息的可能性低于 2%。

After Powell’s press conference Wednesday, that had flipped, with a 91% chance the Fed would hold rates steady in January and a mere 9% chance it cut rates by a quarter of a percent.

鲍威尔周三举行新闻发布会后，情况发生了逆转，美联储 1 月份维持利率稳定的可能性为 91%，而降息 25% 的可能性仅为 9%。

“This was a reluctant deduction,” said Seema Shah, chief global strategist, Principal Asset Management. “One designed to give markets a bit of comfort as the Fed lays the groundwork for a more hawkish approach to policy in 2025.”

“这是一个不情愿的扣除，”信安资产管理公司首席全球策略师西玛·沙阿 (Seema Shah) 表示。 “此举旨在让市场感到一点安慰，因为美联储为 2025 年采取更强硬的政策方针奠定了基础。”
