隨著 Mt. Gox 困境捲土重來，比特幣將迎來一年多來最大單週跌幅

週五，比特幣將出現一年多來最大單週跌幅，交易員擔心日本交易所 Mt. 可能會拋售代幣。

Bitcoin was set for its biggest weekly fall in more than a year on Friday, as traders fretted over the likely dumping of tokens from defunct Japanese exchange Mt. Gox and further selling by leveraged players after the cryptocurrency's strong run.

週五，比特幣將創下一年多來最大單週跌幅，交易員擔心日本交易所 Mt. Gox 可能會拋售代幣，以及加密貨幣強勢上漲後槓桿玩家進一步拋售。

The price of the world's largest cryptocurrency slid as much as 8% on the day to $53,523, its lowest since late February.

全球最大的加密貨幣價格當天下跌 8% 至 53,523 美元，為 2 月底以來的最低水準。

It was on track for a more than 12% weekly decline, its biggest since early November 2022.

週跌幅預計將超過 12%，為 2022 年 11 月初以來的最大跌幅。

Rival token Ether slid 9% to $2,841 to more than a two-month low.

其競爭對手以太幣下跌 9%，至 2,841 美元，創兩個月多低點。

Media reports said Mt. Gox, the world's leading exchange for cryptocurrencies before it collapsed a decade ago, may start returning bitcoin to creditors, who are seen as likely sellers since the token's worth was only hundreds of dollars in 2014.

媒體報告稱，十年前全球領先的加密貨幣交易所 Mt. Gox 可能會開始將比特幣返還給債權人，債權人被視為可能的賣家，因為 2014 年該代幣的價值僅為數百美元。

"The selling pressure is still related to creditor selling from the failed Mt Gox exchange," said Tony Sycamore, a market analyst at IG.

IG 市場分析師 Tony Sycamore 表示：“拋售壓力仍然與破產的 Mt Gox 交易所的債權人拋售有關。”

"However, the acceleration to the downside suggests the market is trying to get ahead of the creditor flows."

“然而，下行加速表明市場正試圖領先於債權人的流動。”

Analysts have also pointed to worries over the possibility of Joe Biden being replaced as the Democrats' presidential nominee by someone less pro-crypto after a shaky debate performance with rival candidate Donald Trump.

分析人士還指出，在與競爭對手候選人唐納德·川普的辯論表現不佳後，人們擔心喬·拜登作為民主黨總統候選人的地位可能會被不那麼支持加密貨幣的人取代。

"What's striking about this slide in Bitcoin is it comes as US stocks and global equity indexes rest at or near record highs - the correlation between Bitcoin and mainstream equities is fraying," said Antoni Trenchev, co-founder of crypto platform Nexo.

加密平台Nexo 聯合創始人安東尼·特倫切夫(Antoni Trenchev) 表示：「比特幣下跌的驚人之處在於，美國股市和全球股票指數處於或接近歷史高位，比特幣與主流股票之間的相關性正在減弱。

Bitcoin had a strong start to the year after the launch of exchange-traded funds in the U.S., propelling it to a record $73,803.25 in mid-March. However, it has since struggled.

在美國推出交易所交易基金後，比特幣今年開局強勁，在 3 月中旬將其價格推高至創紀錄的 73,803.25 美元。然而，此後它一直在掙扎。

"With an asset that has been rangebound for quite a while and recently in the lower end of that range, there are plenty of margined positions," said Justin D'Anethan at digital assets market maker Keyrock.

數位資產做市商 Keyrock 的 Justin D'Anethan 表示：“由於資產在相當長一段時間內一直處於區間波動狀態，最近又處於該區間的下限，因此存在大量保證金頭寸。”

"This of course creates a cascading effect, pushing prices further down than it might in a market with less leverage."

“這當然會產生連鎖效應，使價格比槓桿較低的市場進一步下跌。”
