随着紧张局势加剧和市场不安，加密货币暴跌

周五，加密货币市场大幅下跌，由于地缘政治紧张局势加剧和市场不安，比特币和山寨币价值下跌。比特币跌破 66,000 美元，以太币跌幅高达 12%。较小的加密货币（例如山寨币）的跌幅甚至更大，有些跌幅达 15-20%。经济低迷引发了杠杆交易头寸（主要是多头头寸）的清算，导致投资者遭受重大损失。

Crypto Markets Plunge Amid Geopolitical Tensions and Market Jitters

地缘政治紧张和市场不安导致加密货币市场暴跌

The cryptocurrency market has experienced a significant downturn, with major digital assets such as Bitcoin and Ether suffering substantial losses. This decline is attributed to escalating geopolitical risks and general market volatility, leading investors to shed risky assets.

加密货币市场经历了大幅下滑，比特币、以太币等主要数字资产遭受大幅损失。这一下降归因于地缘政治风险升级和总体市场波动，导致投资者抛售风险资产。

Bitcoin Slumps, Altcoins Suffer Even More

比特币暴跌，山寨币遭受更严重的打击

Bitcoin, the largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization, plummeted below the $66,000 mark, losing over 5% of its value in the last 24 hours. At the time of writing, Bitcoin is trading around $66,700, but it remains significantly down from its recent high of over $70,000.

市值最大的加密货币比特币暴跌至 66,000 美元大关，在过去 24 小时内损失了超过 5% 的价值。截至撰写本文时，比特币的交易价格约为 66,700 美元，但仍较近期超过 70,000 美元的高点大幅下跌。

Ether, the second-largest cryptocurrency, has been hit even harder, plunging as much as 12% to $3,100 before a modest recovery reduced the loss to 8%. Smaller cryptocurrencies, known as altcoins, have suffered even steeper declines. The CoinDesk 20 Index, which tracks the overall performance of the top 20 digital assets, dropped nearly 10%, with some altcoins like Cardano's ADA, Avalanche's AVAX, Bitcoin Cash, Filecoin, and Aptos plummeting between 15% and 20%.

第二大加密货币以太币受到的打击更为严重，暴跌 12%，至 3,100 美元，随后温和复苏，将跌幅降至 8%。较小的加密货币（称为山寨币）的跌幅甚至更大。跟踪前 20 名数字资产整体表现的 CoinDesk 20 指数下跌了近 10%，其中一些山寨币，如 Cardano 的 ADA、Avalanche 的 AVAX、比特币现金、Filecoin 和 Aptos 暴跌 15% 至 20%。

Leverage Trading Amplifies Losses

杠杆交易放大损失

The unexpected downward movement triggered the largest liquidation of leveraged trading positions in a month, with about $850 million worth of leveraged derivatives positions being closed across various digital assets. Notably, around $770 million of these liquidated positions were long positions, indicating that investors had been betting on rising prices. The abrupt decline caught many of these traders off guard, resulting in significant losses.

这一意外的下跌引发了一个月来最大规模的杠杆交易头寸清算，各类数字资产的杠杆衍生品头寸被平仓，价值约 8.5 亿美元。值得注意的是，这些清算头寸中约 7.7 亿美元是多头头寸，表明投资者一直押注价格上涨。突然的下跌让许多交易者措手不及，导致了重大损失。

Tax Season and Geopolitical Risks Weigh on Crypto

纳税季和地缘政治风险给加密货币带来压力

According to virtual asset investment firm Ryze Labs, the upcoming tax season in the United States is expected to contribute to short-term market softness for crypto assets. However, the firm maintains a more positive long-term outlook, suggesting that policymakers may adjust monetary policy to facilitate government debt rollovers, potentially providing relief for the asset class.

虚拟资产投资公司 Ryze Labs 表示，美国即将到来的纳税季节预计将导致加密资产的短期市场疲软。然而，该公司维持更积极的长期前景，表明政策制定者可能会调整货币政策以促进政府债务展期，从而可能为该资产类别提供缓解。

Wider Market Volatility

市场波动更大

The sell-off in cryptocurrencies has coincided with broader market volatility, as stock markets have also experienced declines amidst escalating tensions in the Middle East. Investors have sought safety in assets like Treasury bonds and the U.S. Dollar, while gold surged to new all-time highs before paring some gains.

加密货币的抛售与更广泛的市场波动同时发生，因为中东紧张局势升级导致股市也出现下跌。投资者寻求美国国债和美元等资产的安全，而黄金则飙升至历史新高，然后回吐部分涨幅。

As geopolitical risks continue to escalate, the crypto market's resilience will be tested. Investors are closely monitoring developments and their potential impact on these volatile digital assets. The long-term outlook for cryptocurrencies remains uncertain, but the recent downturn serves as a reminder of the risks associated with investing in this emerging asset class.

随着地缘政治风险持续升级，加密市场的韧性将受到考验。投资者正在密切关注事态发展及其对这些不稳定的数字资产的潜在影响。加密货币的长期前景仍然不确定，但最近的低迷提醒人们投资这一新兴资产类别所面临的风险。
