A sudden price collapse has seen bitcoin fall to its lowest level since November, triggering a broader downturn that has wiped nearly half a trillion dollars from the crypto market in recent days.

自11月以来，比特币突然跌至其最低水平，引发了更广泛的衰退，最近几天，它从加密货币市场上擦了近半万亿美元。

The world’s leading cryptocurrency fell below $89,000 on Tuesday, just a month after hitting an all-time high above $108,000. The peak coincided with the inauguration of Donald Trump, with the incoming US leader promising to be the first ever “bitcoin president”.

全球领先的加密货币在周二跌至108,000美元以上的历史最高点之后的一个月后，下跌了89,000美元。山峰与唐纳德·特朗普的就职典礼相吻合，即将上任的美国领导人承诺成为有史以来第一位“比特币总统”。

The latest downturn has also been partly attributed to President Trump, as he is yet to fulfil any of his major pledges after nearly a month in office.

最新的衰退也部分归因于特朗普总统，因为他在任职近一个月后尚未履行他的任何主要承诺。

“While the new Trump administration in the US has been vocal in its pro-crypto stance, the industry is still waiting for this to manifest in a tangible way in the form of measures such as a mooted Bitcoin Strategic Reserve,” Petr Kozyakov, co-founder and chief executive of the crypto payment infrastructure platform Mercuryo, told The Independent.

“虽然美国新的特朗普政府在其亲克莱托普的立场上一直发声，但该行业仍在等待以一种切实的方式以措施的形式表现出来，例如诸如比特币战略储备之类的措施，” Petr Kozyakov - 加密支付基础设施平台Mercuryo的发现者兼首席执行官告诉《独立报》。

The broader crypto market was also impacted by a hack of the Bybit platform on Friday, which has been described as the “biggest digital heist ever”. Hackers were able to steal around $1.5 billion (£1.2bn) after gaining control of an ethereum wallet operated by the Dubai-based crypto exchange.

周五，BYBIT平台的黑客攻击也受到了更广泛的加密市场的影响，该市场被描述为“有史以来最大的数字抢劫”。在控制了总部位于迪拜的加密货币交易所经营的以太坊钱包后，黑客能够偷走约15亿美元（12亿英镑）。

Ethereum has dropped more than 15 per cent in value since the hack – more than double the relative losses of bitcoin – while other popular cryptocurrencies like Solana and XRP also suffered considerable losses.

自从黑客（Hack）（比特币的相对损失）以来，以太坊的价值下降了15％以上 - 而其他流行的加密货币（如Solana和XRP）也遭受了相当大的损失。

Bitcoin has remained the most valuable cryptocurrency since its inception in 2009, with its finite supply drawing comparisons to safe-haven assets like precious metals. But despite this growing reputation, industry figures warn that the latest sell-off demonstrates that it is not yet considered a form of digital gold by investors.

自2009年成立以来，比特币一直是最有价值的加密货币，其有限的供应绘制比较与贵金属（如贵金属）的资产进行了比较。但是，尽管声誉越来越大，但行业人物警告说，最新的抛售表明，投资者尚未将其视为数字黄金的一种形式。

“The cryptocurrency market is having a heliocentric reckoning as bitcoin slides below $89,000 amid a faltering US stock market,” said Mr Kozyakov.

Kozyakov先生说：“加密货币市场的居民估算是在美国股票市场步履蹒跚的情况下，比特币幻灯片低于89,000美元。”

“Rather than being at the centre of the financial universe, bitcoin’s place remains far out on the periphery as an ultra risk-on asset to be readily sold at the very hint of troubles ahead.”

“比特币的住所不在金融界的中心，而是在外围仍然很远，因为它是一种超出风险的资产，可以在未来的麻烦中很容易出售。”
