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 touted for its pro-cryptoeconomic stance and the industry is eagerly awaiting this to manifest in a tangible way in the form of measures such as a mooted Bitcoin Strategic Reserve, President Trump has yet to deliver on any of his key promises despite nearly a month in the White House,” Petr Kozyakov, co-founder and chief executive of the crypto payment infrastructure platform Mercuryo, told The Independent.

“尽管美国的新特朗普政府因其亲密经济的立场而受到吹捧，该行业急切地等待着这一点，以一种措施的形式表现出来，例如，特朗普总统尚未交付尽管在白宫近一个月，但他的任何主要承诺都在他的任何主要承诺中。告诉独立。

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 sell-offs.

自从黑客攻击以来，以太坊的价值下降了15％以上，是比特币的相对损失的两倍以上 - 而其他流行的加密货币（如Solana和XRP）也遭受了相当大的抛售。

Bitcoin has remained the most valuable cryptocurrency since its inception in 2009, with its finite supply and scarcity drawing comparisons to safe-haven assets like gold and silver. But despite this growing reputation, industry figures می‌گویند 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，比特币仍然是最有价值的加密货币，其有限的供应和稀缺性绘制了与黄金和白银等安全资产的比较。但是，尽管声誉越来越大，但行业数字的最新抛售表明，尚未将其视为投资者的数字黄金形式。

“The cryptocurrency market is having a heliocentric reckoning as bitcoin slides below $89,000 amid a faltering US stock market and President Trump’s promises begin to flounder,” said Mr Kozyakov.

Kozyakov先生说：“加密货币市场以高中为中心的估算值，因为比特币在美国股市步履蹒跚的情况下，比特币幻灯片低于89,000美元，而特朗普总统的诺言开始陷入困境。”

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

“比特币的位置并没有成为金融界的中心，而是在外围仍然是一种超级风险的资产，在未来的宏观经济或政治麻烦的暗示下很容易出售。”
