鮑威爾的言論凸顯了聯準會對政府管理的比特幣儲備的更廣泛懷疑

鮑威爾在聯邦公開市場委員會（FOMC）會議後的新聞發布會上發表的言論也凸顯了更廣泛的懷疑情緒

Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell has ruled out the possibility of the central bank holding Bitcoin in its reserves, despite ongoing discussions about a potential U.S. strategic cryptocurrency reserve.

儘管有關美國潛在戰略加密貨幣儲備的討論仍在繼續，但聯準會主席鮑威爾排除了聯準會在其儲備中持有比特幣的可能性。

Speaking to reporters following the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) meeting on Wednesday, Powell stated that the Federal Reserve Act outlines what the central bank is permitted to own, and Bitcoin is not included in that list.

鮑威爾在聯邦公開市場委員會（FOMC）會議後對記者表示，《聯邦儲備法》概述了央行被允許擁有的資產，而比特幣則不包括在該清單中。

"We're not pursuing a law change at the Fed — that's a matter for Congress," Powell added.

鮑威爾補充說：“我們不會尋求美聯儲修改法律——這是國會的事情。”

The remarks come in response to speculation about a potential U.S. strategic Bitcoin reserve, following suggestions made by President-elect Donald Trump during his campaign.

這些言論是針對美國當選總統唐納德·川普在競選期間提出的建議後對美國潛在戰略比特幣儲備的猜測做出的回應。

Trump has proposed creating a government-controlled Bitcoin reserve, which would be seeded with assets seized in criminal activity. According to CoinGecko, the U.S. currently holds nearly 200,000 Bitcoins, valued at over $20 billion.

川普提議建立一個政府控制的比特幣儲備，該儲備將用在犯罪活動中查獲的資產作為種子。據CoinGecko稱，美國目前持有近20萬枚比特幣，價值超過200億美元。

However, Powell expressed skepticism about the practicality of such a measure, reflecting the Fed's broader wariness towards digital assets.

然而，鮑威爾對此類措施的實用性表示懷疑，反映出聯準會對數位資產更廣泛的謹慎態度。

"I don't think that would work," Powell said.

鮑威爾說：“我認為這行不通。”

Bitcoin's price, which had been rising in recent weeks amid anticipation of a more crypto-friendly stance from Trump, took a hit following Powell's remarks.

由於預期川普會對加密貨幣採取更友善的立場，比特幣的價格在最近幾週一直在上漲，但在鮑威爾的言論後受到了打擊。

During the trading session, the cryptocurrency's value dropped by over 5%, falling below $98,000. Other notable losers included Dogecoin, Ethereum, and Binance Coin, highlighting the market's volatility.

在交易時段，該加密貨幣的價值下跌超過 5%，跌破 98,000 美元。其他值得注意的下跌者包括狗狗幣、以太坊和幣安幣，凸顯了市場的波動性。

The price of Bitcoin had risen significantly in the lead-up to Trump's victory, largely due to his campaign's suggestions of a more favorable regulatory environment for cryptocurrencies.

在川普獲勝之前，比特幣的價格大幅上漲，這主要是由於他的競選活動建議為加密貨幣提供更有利的監管環境。

However, as the dust settles and the reality of Trump's presidency becomes clearer, it remains to be seen whether his administration will actively pursue the establishment of a strategic Bitcoin reserve.

然而，隨著塵埃落定以及川普總統任期的現實變得更加清晰，他的政府是否會積極尋求建立比特幣戰略儲備仍有待觀察。
