Bitcoin Plunges 22%, Triggering Massive Crypto Sell-Off

比特幣暴跌 22%，引發加密貨幣大規模拋售

Jakarta, Indonesia – The cryptocurrency market experienced a dramatic downturn on Saturday, December 4, as Bitcoin plummeted by 12% within minutes of the market opening. The world's leading cryptocurrency fell to a low of $47,495 per coin at approximately 04:20 a.m. ET (16:00 CEST).

印尼雅加達——12 月 4 日星期六，加密貨幣市場經歷了急劇下滑，比特幣在開盤後幾分鐘內暴跌 12%。世界領先的加密貨幣於美國東部時間凌晨 04:20 左右（中歐夏令時間 16:00）跌至每枚 47,495 美元的低點。

The extreme volatility continued throughout the day, with Bitcoin dropping further to $41,968 by late Saturday, representing a total loss of 22% for the day. The sell-off was also felt across the broader cryptocurrency market, with nearly $1 billion worth of cryptocurrencies being liquidated within 24 hours, according to data from trading platform Coinglass.

全天持續劇烈波動，截至週六晚間，比特幣進一步跌至 41,968 美元，全天總跌幅達 22%。根據交易平台 Coinglass 的數據，整個加密貨幣市場也感受到了拋售，價值近 10 億美元的加密貨幣在 24 小時內被清算。

The abrupt decline in Bitcoin's value is attributed to a combination of profit-taking and macroeconomic concerns, including worries about slower job growth in the US and the continued spread of the Omicron variant of COVID-19.

比特幣價值的突然下跌歸因於獲利回吐和宏觀經濟擔憂，包括對美國就業成長放緩和 Omicron 變種 COVID-19 持續傳播的擔憂。

Analysts also pointed to the upcoming testimony of executives from eight major cryptocurrency firms before the US House Financial Services Committee, scheduled for last Wednesday. The hearing was widely seen as a sign of increased regulatory scrutiny over the cryptocurrency industry, potentially contributing to investor uncertainty.

分析師也指出，八家主要加密貨幣公司的高層即將於上週三在美國眾議院金融服務委員會作證。這次聽證會被廣泛認為是對加密貨幣產業加強監管審查的跡象，可能會增加投資者的不確定性。

Data from data platform CoinGecko revealed that nearly 11,400 cryptocurrencies witnessed a decline of over 11%, with the total market capitalization of all cryptocurrencies dropping to $2.37 trillion. This figure is significantly lower than the record high of $3 trillion reached last month.

數據平台CoinGecko的數據顯示，近11,400種加密貨幣跌幅超過11%，所有加密貨幣總市值跌至2.37兆美元。這一數字明顯低於上個月創下的 3 兆美元的歷史新高。

The broader sell-off in cryptocurrencies extended to other popular altcoins, including Ether (Ethereum), which fell by nearly 10% overnight.

加密貨幣的廣泛拋售波及其他流行的山寨幣，包括以太幣（Ethereum），該幣隔夜下跌近 10%。

Despite the recent market downturn, some experts believe that it presents an opportunity for investors to buy the dip and acquire cryptocurrencies at a lower price point. Justin d'Anethan, Hong Kong-based head of sales at cryptocurrency exchange EQONEX, suggested that "this is an opportunity to buy a dip for many investors who may have previously felt left out of the boat."

儘管最近市場低迷，但一些專家認為，這為投資者提供了逢低買入並以較低價格購買加密貨幣的機會。加密貨幣交易所 EQONEX 駐香港銷售主管 Justin d'Anethan 表示，“對於許多之前可能感覺被排除在外的投資者來說，這是一個逢低買入的機會。”

D'Anethan also noted that "we can see Tether being bought at a premium, suggesting people are setting up cash, within the crypto space, to do just that." Tether is a stablecoin pegged to the US dollar, often used by traders to hedge against volatility in the cryptocurrency market.

D'Anethan 還指出，“我們可以看到 Tether 被高價購買，這表明人們正在加密貨幣領域設立現金來做到這一點。” Tether 是一種與美元掛鉤的穩定幣，交易者經常使用它來對沖加密貨幣市場的波動。

The recent volatility in the cryptocurrency market highlights the inherent risks associated with these digital assets, which are subject to sudden price swings and regulatory uncertainty. Investors are advised to approach cryptocurrency investments with caution and only invest what they can afford to lose.

最近加密貨幣市場的波動凸顯了與這些數位資產相關的固有風險，這些資產容易受到價格突然波動和監管不確定性的影響。建議投資人謹慎對待加密貨幣投資，只投資他們能承受損失的部分。

The International Monetary Fund (IMF) has warned that economic growth projections are likely to be lowered due to renewed tensions and travel restrictions imposed in response to the Omicron variant. This uncertainty in the broader financial markets is also contributing to the volatility in the cryptocurrency market.

國際貨幣基金組織 (IMF) 警告稱，由於新的緊張局勢和針對 Omicron 變種實施的旅行限制，經濟成長預測可能會下調。更廣泛的金融市場的不確定性也加劇了加密貨幣市場的波動。

As the cryptocurrency industry continues to evolve and face increased scrutiny from regulators, investors should proceed with caution and carefully consider the risks involved before making any investment decisions.

隨著加密貨幣行業不斷發展並面臨監管機構越來越嚴格的審查，投資者在做出任何投資決定之前應謹慎行事並仔細考慮所涉及的風險。
