由加密公司 BitGo 发行的 WBTC 在币安上在一小时内损失了近 95% 的价值,从 98,500 美元暴跌至 5,209 美元,然后于 11 月 23 日恢复至 98,000 美元左右。

11 月 23 日,Wrapped Bitcoin (WBTC) 的价格在币安上不到一小时内暴跌近 95%,从 98,500 美元跌至 5,209 美元,然后恢复至 98,000 美元左右。
The sharp price drop occurred just days after Coinbase announced that it would be delisting WBTC due to liquidity concerns. However, the cause of the flash crash remains unknown, with neither BitGo nor the WBTC team commenting on the incident.
就在 Coinbase 宣布因流动性问题将下架 WBTC 几天后,价格大幅下跌。然而,闪电崩盘的原因仍然未知,BitGo 和 WBTC 团队都没有对此事件发表评论。
The incident adds another layer of complexity to the relationship between Coinbase and WBTC’s custodial partner, Justin Sun, who became involved with WBTC through a joint venture between BitGo and his companies. In August, BitGo announced a joint venture with BiTGlobal, a Hong Kong-based trust company linked to Sun.
这一事件使 Coinbase 和 WBTC 托管合作伙伴孙宇晨 (Justin Sun) 之间的关系又增添了一层复杂性,孙宇晨通过 BitGo 与其公司的合资企业参与了 WBTC。 8 月,BitGo 宣布与 BiTGlobal 成立合资企业,BiTGlobal 是一家与 Sun 相关的香港信托公司。
Sun’s involvement in WBTC has led to the creation of multiple competing tokens. In addition to cBTC, crypto exchange Kraken also launched its wrapped Bitcoin called kBTC. In response to the growing competition, Sun criticized Coinbase for failing to complete a proof-of-reserves process for cbBTC.
Sun 参与 WBTC 导致了多种竞争代币的创建。除了 cBTC 之外,加密货币交易所 Kraken 还推出了名为 kBTC 的包装比特币。为了应对日益激烈的竞争,Sun 批评 Coinbase 未能完成 cbBTC 的储备证明流程。
Launched in 2019, WBTC allows Bitcoin liquidity to flow into decentralized finance ecosystems by tokenizing Bitcoin (BTC). The token is pegged 1:1 with Bitcoin and currently has a market capitalization nearing the $14 billion mark.
WBTC 于 2019 年推出,通过对比特币 (BTC) 进行代币化,允许比特币流动性流入去中心化金融生态系统。该代币与比特币 1:1 挂钩,目前市值接近 140 亿美元大关。
