Grayscale Spot Bitcoin ETF 'Halves' Before BTC Halving

灰階現貨比特幣 ETF 在 BTC 減半之前“減半”

Major Bitcoin investor Grayscale Investments has witnessed a 50% decline in its spot BTC exchange-traded fund (ETF) holdings ahead of the anticipated Bitcoin halving event.

在預期的比特幣減半事件發生之前，主要比特幣投資者 Grayscale Investments 的現貨 BTC 交易所交易基金 (ETF) 持有量下降了 50%。

On April 16, Bitcoin holdings in the Grayscale Bitcoin Trust ETF (GBTC) dropped from 619,220 BTC on the first day of trading on Jan. 11 to 309,871 BTC on its 66th day of trading. This represents a 50% reduction in the amount of BTC held by the ETF since its trading debut.

4 月 16 日，灰階比特幣信託 ETF（GBTC）的比特幣持有量從 1 月 11 日交易首日的 619,220 BTC 下降至交易第 66 天的 309,871 BTC。這意味著該 ETF 自首次交易以來持有的 BTC 數量減少了 50%。

The GBTC "halving" occurred just two days before the much-anticipated Bitcoin halving, which will reduce the mining reward by 50% from 6.25 BTC to 3.125 BTC.

GBTC「減半」發生在萬眾期待的比特幣減半前兩天，這將使挖礦獎勵從 6.25 BTC 減少 50% 至 3.125 BTC。

Occurring once every four years, or once in 210,000 blocks, the Bitcoin halving is a major event often tied to subsequent rallies in the crypto market. While the two events are not correlated, they coincide in the chronology of Bitcoin-related occurrences.

比特幣減半每四年發生一次，或每 21 萬個區塊發生一次，是一個重大事件，通常與加密貨幣市場隨後的反彈有關。雖然這兩個事件沒有相關性，但它們在比特幣相關事件的時間順序上是一致的。

Worldcoin Launches Its Own 'Human-Centric' Blockchain Network

世界幣推出自己的「以人為中心」區塊鏈網絡

Worldcoin, an identity coin startup founded by OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, has furthered its "human-centric" approach to the Web3 space with its new blockchain network, World Chain.

Worldcoin 是一家由 OpenAI 執行長 Sam Altman 創立的身份代幣新創公司，透過其新的區塊鏈網路 World Chain，進一步推進了其在 Web3 領域的「以人為中心」的方法。

On April 17, Worldcoin announced World Chain, a new blockchain initiative designed to prioritize human users, enhance efficiency, and foster real-world utility in Web3 applications.

4 月 17 日，Worldcoin 宣布推出 World Chain，這是一項新的區塊鏈計劃，旨在優先考慮人類用戶、提高效率並促進 Web3 應用程式中的現實世界實用性。

Worldcoin recently surpassed 10 million World IDs created and 75 million completed transactions, signaling the project's rapid expansion. Its own dedicated network has been designed to scale alongside the broader Ethereum network as a layer 2 to meet the project's needs.

Worldcoin 最近創建的 World ID 數量超過 1000 萬個，完成的交易數量超過 7500 萬個，這標誌著該項目的快速擴張。其自己的專用網路旨在作為第 2 層與更廣泛的以太坊網路一起擴展，以滿足專案的需求。

In an interview with Cointelegraph, Tiago Sada, the head of operations at Worldcoin, explained the project's intention to prioritize humans over bots in its network design.

Worldcoin 營運主管 Tiago Sada 在接受 Cointelegraph 採訪時解釋了該專案在網路設計中優先考慮人類而不是機器人的意圖。

"Usually, the way it works is that every account is fighting for block space. Usually, since bots can move faster and they can outbid humans," he said, "the networks get saturated with all the transactions for bots, and humans have whatever is left — many times, they can't even get in."

「通常情況下，它的工作方式是每個帳戶都在爭奪區塊空間。通常，由於機器人可以移動得更快，並且它們可以比人類出價更高，」他說，「網路會因為機器人的所有交易而飽和，而人類則擁有一切剩下的——很多時候，他們甚至都進不去。

Most Memorable Quotations

最難忘的名言

Prediction of the Week

Bitcoin Miners Could Dump $5B in BTC After Halving

比特幣礦工可能在減半後拋售 5B 美元的 BTC

Bitcoin miners could potentially liquidate $5 billion worth of BTC after the halving, the head of research at 10x Research, Markus Thielen, calculated in an April 13 analyst note.

10x Research 研究主管 Markus Thielen 在 4 月 13 日的分析師報告中計算出，比特幣礦工在減半後可能會清算價值 50 億美元的 BTC。

"The overhang from this selling could last four to six months, explaining why Bitcoin might go sideways for the next few months — as it has done following past halvings," he added.

他補充說：“這種拋售的懸念可能會持續四到六個月，這解釋了為什麼比特幣可能會在未來幾個月內橫盤整理——就像過去減半後的情況一樣。”

Thielen said that the same could happen again, with crypto markets potentially facing "a significant challenge in a six-month 'summer' lull."

蒂倫表示，同樣的情況可能會再次發生，加密貨幣市場可能面臨「六個月『夏季』平靜期的重大挑戰」。

Bitcoin prices remained range-bound between $9,000 and $11,500 in the five months that followed the 2020 halving.

在 2020 年減半後的五個月裡，比特幣價格一直在 9,000 美元至 11,500 美元之間波動。
