比特幣跌至四個月低點，創一年來最差週表現

新加坡——週五（7 月5 日），比特幣跌至四個月低點，並有望創下一年來最糟糕的單週表現，原因是喬·拜登是否會繼續擔任民主黨美國總統候選人的不確定性以及對潛在上漲的擔憂。

Bitcoin sank to a four-month low on Friday and was set for its worst weekly performance in a year, as uncertainty over whether Joe Biden will remain the Democrats' US presidential candidate and concerns about potential increases in crypto supply weighed.

由於喬·拜登是否仍將成為民主黨美國總統候選人的不確定性以及對加密貨幣供應可能增加的擔憂，比特幣週五跌至四個月低點，並創下十年來最糟糕的單週表現。

Bitcoin prices fell 5 per cent to $55,366 (74,744), their lowest since February end on Friday, putting the token on track to post a weekly loss of about 10 per cent. Ether slid 8 per cent to $2,891, a one and half month low.

週五，比特幣價格下跌 5%，至 55,366 美元（74,744 美元），為 2 月底以來的最低水平，這使得該代幣預計每週下跌約 10%。以太幣下跌 8% 至 2,891 美元，創一個半月低點。

Bitcoin prices had a strong start to the year after the launch of exchange-traded funds in the US, which drove it to a record $73,803.25 in mid-March. However, bitcoin has lost more than 21 per cent since then.

美國交易所交易基金推出後，比特幣價格今年開局強勁，3 月中旬達到創紀錄的 73,803.25 美元。然而，自那時以來，比特幣已下跌超過 21%。

Investors are also concerned about the possibility of Biden being replaced as the Democrats' presidential nominee by someone who is less pro-crypto, market participants said, after his poor performance in the first debate against Donald Trump.

市場參與者表示，在拜登在與唐納德·川普的首場辯論中表現不佳後，投資者還擔心拜登可能會被不那麼支持加密貨幣的人取代，成為民主黨總統候選人。

Analysts also highlighted reports that Mt. Gox, the world's leading exchange for cryptocurrencies before it went defunct in 2014, is repaying its creditors. That has sparked concern that bitcoin is likely to face further downward pressure if those creditors offload their tokens.

分析師還強調了有報道稱，全球領先的加密貨幣交易所 Mt. Gox 正在償還其債權人，該交易所於 2014 年倒閉。這引發了人們的擔憂，如果這些債權人拋售其代幣，比特幣可能會面臨進一步的下行壓力。
