比特币 (BTC) 交易价格约为 10.4 万美元，加密货币在美联储会议之前回落

随着美联储即将结束今年的最后一次会议，加密货币在昨天大幅上涨后回调

Cryptocurrency prices pulled back slightly on Wednesday morning, as traders awaited the conclusion of the Federal Reserve's final meeting of the year and anticipated further interest rate cuts.

周三上午，加密货币价格小幅回落，交易者等待美联储今年最后一次会议的结束，并预计进一步降息。

Bitcoin was trading at around $104,170 at 11:53 a.m. ET.

美国东部时间上午 11:53，比特币交易价格约为 104,170 美元。

The world's third-largest cryptocurrency, XRP, saw its price decline by over 5% since late Tuesday afternoon.

自周二下午晚些时候以来，全球第三大加密货币 XRP 的价格下跌了 5% 以上。

Meme tokens Dogecoin and Shiba Inu also faced losses, with their prices trading down 4.3% and 4.6%, respectively.

Meme 代币狗狗币和柴犬也面临损失，其价格分别下跌 4.3% 和 4.6%。

Both tokens had a slight uptick in the morning, but quickly reversed course.

两个代币早上都有小幅上涨，但很快就逆转了走势。

Cryptocurrency prices have surged this week, especially following President-elect Donald Trump's statement that he would like to create a strategic Bitcoin reserve, similar to the country's oil reserve.

加密货币价格本周飙升，特别是在当选总统唐纳德·特朗普声明他希望建立类似于该国石油储备的战略比特币储备之后。

A strategic reserve involves the government stockpiling a specific resource, such as a commodity, which can then be used to influence supply or be drawn upon during emergencies.

战略储备涉及政府储存某种特定资源，例如商品，然后可以用来影响供应或在紧急情况下使用。

While the government currently has about 200,000 bitcoins, valued at around $21 billion, that could be used to launch a strategic reserve, it is still unclear how such a reserve would operate.

虽然政府目前拥有约 20 万枚比特币（价值约 210 亿美元），可用于启动战略储备，但目前尚不清楚此类储备将如何运作。

Other events, such as MicroStrategy joining the Nasdaq 100 index and Trump's policies, have also pushed the crypto past $107,000.

其他事件，例如 MicroStrategy 加入纳斯达克 100 指数和特朗普的政策，也推​​动加密货币突破 107,000 美元。

However, traders may have locked in some gains earlier today in anticipation of the Fed concluding its last meeting of the year.

然而，交易员今天早些时候可能已经锁定了一些涨幅，因为他们预计美联储将结束今年最后一次会议。

Heading into the meeting, nearly all investors expected the Fed to lower interest rates by 25 basis points.

会议召开前，几乎所有投资者都预计美联储将降息 25 个基点。

But there is likely more focus on the Fed's messaging, which could turn hawkish considering the labor market is still strong, inflation is still above the Fed's preferred 2% target, and Trump policies like tariffs could stoke inflation.

但人们可能会更多地关注美联储的信息，考虑到劳动力市场仍然强劲、通胀仍高于美联储首选的 2% 目标，而特朗普的关税等政策可能会加剧通胀，美联储的信息可能会变得强硬。

This may put further rate cuts next year at risk, and Bitcoin along with crypto in general have largely moved higher on news of such cuts.

这可能会使明年进一步降息面临风险，而比特币和加密货币总体上在此类降息的消息中大幅走高。

In more token-specific news, Ripple, the company behind XRP, launched its highly anticipated stablecoin RLUSD this week, which is pegged to the U.S. dollar.

在更具体的代币新闻中，XRP 背后的公司 Ripple 本周推出了备受期待的与美元挂钩的稳定币 RLUSD。

"Each RLUSD token is fully backed by U.S. dollar deposits, U.S. government bonds, and cash equivalents -- designed to ensure its stability, reliability, and liquidity," Ripple said earlier this week.

Ripple 本周早些时候表示：“每个 RLUSD 代币均得到美元存款、美国政府债券和现金等价物的充分支持，旨在确保其稳定性、可靠性和流动性。”

RLUSD can be used on either the Ethereum blockchain or the XRP ledger.

RLUSD 可以在以太坊区块链或 XRP 账本上使用。

Since it will generate more traffic on the XRP ledger, investors also purchased XRP tokens earlier this week in anticipation of the stablecoin, according to Fortune.

据《财富》杂志报道，由于它将在 XRP 分类账上产生更多流量，因此投资者在本周早些时候也购买了 XRP 代币，以期获得稳定币。

The price of XRP went up yesterday but has struggled today along with the broader sector.

XRP 的价格昨天上涨，但今天与更广泛的行业一起陷入困境。

Much of what's driving movement in the crypto sector today appears to be related to the macro environment. Many believe Bitcoin is a hedge against inflation. However, the broader sector has largely performed like growth stocks, performing better in risk-on environments and worse in the face of rising interest rates and inflation. That's why the trajectory of interest rates next year will likely impact most cryptocurrencies.

如今推动加密行业发展的大部分因素似乎与宏观环境有关。许多人认为比特币是对冲通胀的工具。然而，更广泛的行业的表现在很大程度上与成长型股票相似，在风险环境中表现更好，在利率和通胀上升的情况下表现更差。这就是为什么明年的利率轨迹可能会影响大多数加密货币。

XRP is one of the few tokens I own, and I think it has strong potential due to its fixed supply and efficient network. Its ties to Ripple and RLUSD may also prove bullish.

XRP 是我拥有的少数代币之一，我认为由于其固定的供应和高效的网络，它具有强大的潜力。它与 Ripple 和 RLUSD 的关系也可能被证明是看涨的。

I currently have no interest in Dogecoin and Shiba Inu because they lack utility and don't yet have any ability to hedge inflation. Most altcoins are extremely volatile, so you shouldn't invest too heavily in any individual token.

我目前对狗狗币和柴犬没有兴趣，因为它们缺乏实用性，而且还没有任何对冲通胀的能力。大多数山寨币的波动性极大，因此您不应该对任何单个代币进行过多投资。
