投资者在美联储决定前抛售加密货币，比特币暴跌

比特币经历了第三天的下跌，创下了自 2022 年底以来最差的月度表现。由于投资者在美联储利率决定之前撤资，该加密货币的价值在 4 月份下跌了近 16%。尽管呈下降趋势，比特币今年迄今仍上涨了 35%，价值比前一年翻了一倍。最近的暴跌归因于获利了结以及预期美联储今年可能不会降息后投资者情绪的转变。

Bitcoin Plunges Further: Investors Shed Crypto Holdings Ahead of Federal Reserve Decision

比特币进一步暴跌：投资者在美联储决定之前抛售加密货币

London, April 26: Bitcoin's downward trajectory continued for a third consecutive day on Wednesday, extending its worst monthly performance since late 2022. Amidst heightened investor anxiety, the flagship cryptocurrency witnessed a decline of nearly 4.7%, plummeting to its lowest level since late February at $57,055.

伦敦，4 月 26 日：周三，比特币连续第三天下跌，延续了 2022 年底以来最糟糕的月度表现。在投资者焦虑加剧的情况下，旗舰加密货币下跌近 4.7%，跌至 2 月底以来的最低水平57,055 美元。

Investors have been actively withdrawing funds from cryptocurrencies in anticipation of an imminent interest rate decision by the Federal Reserve. The value of Bitcoin has nosedived by approximately 16% in April alone, as investors sought to secure profits following a robust rally that had driven the price to record highs exceeding $70,000.

由于预期美联储即将做出利率决定，投资者一直在积极从加密货币中撤出资金。仅在 4 月份，比特币的价值就暴跌约 16%，因为投资者在强劲反弹推动比特币价格创下超过 70,000 美元的历史新高后寻求获利。

Ethereum, the second-largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization, also experienced losses, though they were less significant. Ether declined by 3.6% to $2,857, marking its weakest position since February.

按市值计算的第二大加密货币以太坊也遭受了损失，尽管损失较小。以太币下跌 3.6% 至 2,857 美元，创下 2 月份以来的最低水平。

Bitcoin's current price represents a significant 22% decline from its all-time high of $73,803 set in March, technically classifying it as within a bear market. Despite this setback, Bitcoin remains 35% higher than it was at the beginning of the year, and it has doubled in value over the past 12 months.

比特币目前的价格较 3 月份创下的历史高点 73,803 美元大幅下跌 22%，从技术上讲，比特币属于熊市。尽管遭遇这一挫折，比特币仍比年初上涨 35%，并且在过去 12 个月内价值翻了一番。

According to Fineqia research analyst Matteo Greco, the recent downtrend can be attributed to profit-taking by investors who entered the market during the downturns of 2022 and 2023, as well as ETF investors who have experienced substantial price appreciation on their shares since entering the market earlier this year.

Fineqia研究分析师Matteo Greco表示，近期的下跌趋势可归因于在2022年和2023年经济低迷时期进入市场的投资者以及自进入市场以来股价大幅上涨的ETF投资者的获利了结今年早些时候。

The Federal Reserve's monetary policy stance is also influencing investor sentiment. While no interest rate changes are anticipated at this meeting, there is a growing belief among investors that the central bank may not lower rates at all this year. This outlook has weighed heavily on interest rate-sensitive assets, including cryptocurrencies, emerging market stocks and bonds, and even commodities. Investors have responded accordingly, resulting in the largest weekly outflow from 10 major US spot bitcoin ETFs since their inception in January.

美联储的货币政策立场也影响着投资者的情绪。尽管预计本次会议不会调整利率，但投资者越来越相信央行今年可能根本不会降息。这种前景严重影响了利率敏感资产，包括加密货币、新兴市场股票和债券，甚至大宗商品。投资者做出了相应反应，导致美国 10 只主要现货比特币 ETF 出现自 1 月份推出以来最大的周流出量。

According to data from LSEG, outflows this week have reached $496 million, primarily due to a slowdown in inflows into BlackRock's iShares Bitcoin Trust, the largest ETF in terms of holdings.

根据 LSEG 的数据，本周资金流出已达 4.96 亿美元，主要是由于贝莱德旗下持有量最大的 ETF iShares Bitcoin Trust 的资金流入放缓。

Bitcoin's so-called "halving event," which occurred on April 20, has failed to provide meaningful support to its price. Since the event, which involves a change to the cryptocurrency's underlying technology designed to reduce the rate at which new bitcoins are created, Bitcoin has shed approximately 15%. Many investors had anticipated that the halving event would underpin the price, but those expectations have not materialized.

4月20日发生的比特币所谓“减半事件”未能为其价格提供有意义的支撑。该事件涉及对加密货币底层技术进行更改，旨在降低新比特币的创建速度，自该事件以来，比特币已下跌约 15%。许多投资者曾预计减半事件将支撑价格，但这些预期并未实现。
