贝莱德首席执行官拉里·芬克（Larry Fink）警告说，比特币可以取代美元作为全球储备货币

资产管理公司BlackRock的首席执行官Larry Fink在他的年度信中警告说，美元可能会失去对比特币的霸权。

Larry Fink, CEO of asset management firm BlackRock, has warned that the U.S. dollar could lose its hegemony to Bitcoin as the U.S. national debt balloons and threatens the greenback’s long-standing reserve currency status.

资产管理公司BlackRock的首席执行官Larry Fink警告说，由于美国国家债务气球，美元可能会失去对比特币的霸权，并威胁着Greenback的长期储备货币状况。

Fink said that Bitcoin might become a more preferable investment than the U.S. dollar.

芬克说，比特币可能比美元更可取的投资。

“We see the U.S. dollar remaining the principal reserve currency for the foreseeable future. But the metaverse, blockchain, and decentralized finance could undermine the economic advantage that the U.S. has built over the last 75 years,” Fink wrote in his annual letter to executives on Wednesday.

Fink在周三给高管人员的年度信中写道：“我们看到美元在可预见的未来仍然是主要储备货币。但是，元，区块链和分散的财务可能会破坏美国过去75年中美国建立的经济优势。”

Decentralized finance could potentially reduce the need for institutions and government bodies, which in turn could lessen the U.S.’s role in the global financial system, he added.

他补充说，分散的金融可能会减少对机构和政府机构的需求，这反过来又可以减少美国在全球金融体系中的作用。

Back in 2020, Fink said that Bitcoin could become a global market like gold.

早在2020年，芬克说，比特币可能会成为像黄金这样的全球市场。

This year, asset management titan applied for Bitcoin ETFs, which were later approved by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. The move came after years of applying for ether (ETH) ETFs.

今年，资产管理巨人申请了比特币ETF，后来得到了美国证券交易委员会的批准。此举是在多年申请Ether（ETH）ETF之后进行的。

Last October, Fink said that he viewed Bitcoin as a gold alternative.

去年10月，芬克说，他将比特币视为黄金替代品。

A looming debt crisis?

迫在眉睫的债务危机？

The U.S. national debt currently stands at $36.6 trillion, exceeding the size of the country’s economy. Federal interest payments are expected to exceed $1 trillion in 2026.

美国国家债务目前为36.6万亿美元，超过了该国经济的规模。联邦利息支付预计在2026年将超过1万亿美元。

U.S. lawmakers will need to take action on the debt limit by either raising or suspending it. According to the Congressional Budget Office, a potential default is looming this summer.

美国立法者将需要通过提高或中止债务限制采取行动。根据国会预算办公室的说法，今年夏天潜在的违约正在迫在眉睫。

Earlier this month, billionaire hedge fund manager Ray Dalio predicted that the U.S. could face a severe debt crisis in a few years from now.

本月早些时候，亿万富翁对冲基金经理雷·达利奥（Ray Dalio）预测，从现在开始的几年后，美国将面临严重的债务危机。

Some pro-Bitcoin analysts say that high national debt could devalue the dollar and benefit the leading cryptocurrency, which is known for its scarcity and serves as a hedge against inflation.

一些亲甲币分析师说，高国债可能会贬值美元并受益于领先的加密货币，该货币以其稀缺而闻名，并作为对冲通货膨胀的对冲。

Meanwhile, Strategy co-founder Michael Saylor has said that a U.S. strategic reserve could help reduce national debt.

同时，战略联合创始人迈克尔·塞勒（Michael Saylor）表示，美国战略储备可以帮助减少国家债务。
