市場力量佔據主導地位，比特幣減半並非事件

比特幣最近的「減半」事件對其價格影響很小，因為行業專家將加密貨幣的表現歸因於更廣泛的金融市場動態和地緣政治不確定性。儘管有人預期比特幣價格會像過去的減半事件一樣飆升，但比特幣的波動有限，分析師指出，比特幣與傳統市場情緒的相關性越來越大，而減半前後零售交易活動的影響力正在減弱。

Bitcoin Unfazed by Halving Event, Market Sentiment Remains Paramount

比特幣並未受到減半事件的影響，市場情緒仍至關重要

London, United Kingdom - The highly anticipated "halving" event for Bitcoin, a significant change to its underlying technology, has had a negligible impact on its price, as industry experts emphasize the cryptocurrency's susceptibility to broader financial market trends and geopolitical events.

英國倫敦- 備受期待的比特幣「減半」事件是其基礎技術的重大變化，但對其價格的影響微乎其微，因為行業專家強調加密貨幣對更廣泛的金融市場趨勢和地緣政治事件的敏感性。

This "halving," which occurred on Saturday at approximately 0014 GMT, involves a reduction in the rate at which new Bitcoins are created. It occurs every four years, and some enthusiasts had anticipated a price surge, citing historical gains after previous halvings.

這次「減半」發生在周六格林威治標準時間 0014 左右，涉及新比特幣創建速度的降低。它每四年發生一次，一些愛好者預計價格會飆升，理由是之前減半後的歷史漲幅。

However, as of Monday afternoon, Bitcoin's price remained largely unchanged, hovering around $66,300. It had experienced a modest gain of 1.2% last week and a further 3.4% increase on Monday, but its broader movement has been characterized by indecision since reaching an all-time high of $73,794 last month.

然而，截至週一下午，比特幣價格基本上保持不變，徘徊在 66,300 美元左右。該股上周小幅上漲 1.2%，週一進一步上漲 3.4%，但自上個月觸及歷史高點 73,794 美元以來，其整體走勢一直猶豫不決。

"The geopolitical developments ongoing at the moment are exerting a greater influence than any impact from the halving. In particular, the perceived easing of tensions between Iran and Israel," remarked Mick Roche, senior trader at Zodia Markets, the cryptocurrency arm of Standard Chartered.

渣打銀行加密貨幣部門Zodia Markets 的高級交易員米克·羅奇(Mick Roche) 表示：「目前正在發生的地緣政治事態發展所產生的影響比減半帶來的影響更大。特別是伊朗和以色列之間緊張局勢的緩和。

Global equity markets staged a recovery on Monday as investors retreated from defensive positions adopted due to fears of a broader conflict in the Middle East.

全球股市週一出現復甦，投資者因擔心中東發生更廣泛的衝突而放棄防禦性立場。

Eric Demuth, CEO of Bitpanda, an Austrian cryptocurrency exchange, observed that Bitcoin's correlation with broader market sentiment has intensified, and there is no discernible pattern of retail trading activity surrounding the halving.

奧地利加密貨幣交易所 Bitpanda 執行長 Eric Demuth 觀察到，比特幣與更廣泛市場情緒的相關性已經增強，圍繞減半的散戶交易活動沒有明顯的模式。

"Cryptocurrencies have become increasingly akin to stocks. The individuals trading stocks and technology stocks are also engaged in cryptocurrency trading," he explained.

「加密貨幣變得越來越類似股票。交易股票和科技股的個人也從事加密貨幣交易，」他解釋道。

Excitement surrounding the potential regulatory approval of spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) in the United States contributed to Bitcoin's rebound last year following a series of setbacks in 2022.

圍繞美國現貨比特幣交易所交易基金 (ETF) 可能獲得監管機構批准的興奮情緒，促使比特幣在 2022 年經歷一系列挫折後於去年反彈。

According to Ben Laidler, global markets strategist at eToro, the focus for Bitcoin now shifts towards "institutionalisation." While retail investors currently dominate Bitcoin, Laidler anticipates that future regulatory developments could facilitate the adoption of Bitcoin by companies, banks, and central banks.

eToro 全球市場策略師 Ben Laidler 表示，比特幣的焦點現在轉向「制度化」。雖然散戶投資者目前主導比特幣，但萊德勒預計未來的監管發展可能會促進公司、銀行和中央銀行採用比特幣。

Despite their recent surge, cryptocurrencies remain a niche asset class, with their combined value estimated at approximately $2.5 trillion by CoinGecko, a market tracker. Regulators continue to express caution, emphasizing their speculative nature, inherent risk, and limited practical applications.

儘管最近加密貨幣大幅上漲，但它仍然是一種利基資產類別，市場追蹤機構 CoinGecko 估計其總價值約為 2.5 兆美元。監管機構繼續表示謹慎，強調其投機性質、固有風險和有限的實際應用。

The cryptocurrency market is also awaiting the US Securities and Exchange Commission's (SEC) decision on spot ETFs for Ether, the second-largest cryptocurrency. However, both Demuth and Roche expressed skepticism that such approval would materialize in May, as had been previously anticipated.

加密貨幣市場也在等待美國證券交易委員會 (SEC) 對第二大加密貨幣以太幣現貨 ETF 的決定。然而，Demuth 和 Roche 都對這種批准能否如之前預期的那樣在 5 月實現表示懷疑。
