今日比特币价格：加密货币创下新高，短暂升至 23,000 美元以上

Bitcoin continued to break new ground on Thursday, briefly rising past $23,000 (£16,202).

周四，比特币继续突破 23,000 美元（16,202 英镑）。

Bitcoin rose over 8% against the dollar to hit a record high of $23,586.91 (BTC-USD) in early trade in London. The cryptocurrency had fallen back to around $22,826 by mid-morning, a gain of just over 3% on the day.

伦敦早盘交易中，比特币兑美元上涨超过 8%，创下 23,586.91 美元（BTC-USD）的历史新高。截至上午中旬，该加密货币已回落至 22,826 美元左右，当天涨幅略高于 3%。

Thursday’s early price action marked the second new all-time high in as many days for bitcoin. On Wednesday, bitcoin passed the $20,000 mark for the first time, a psychologically significant level bulls had been targeting for months.

周四早盘的价格走势标志着比特币多日以来第二个历史新高。周三，比特币首次突破 20,000 美元大关，这是多头几个月来一直瞄准的心理重要水平。

Tumbling records come after a storming rally that began in late October. Bitcoin has rallied over 100% since the start of October and is up around 180% across 2020.

十月下旬开始的猛烈反弹之后，创下了暴跌纪录。自 10 月初以来，比特币已上涨超过 100%，并在 2020 年上涨了 180% 左右。

“In a period where bonds are yielding negative rates, big banks having the audacity to pay negligible interest and charge for even basic bank accounts it is no wonder more and more people are looking to store some of their money in cryptocurrencies,” said Yang Li, chief growth officer of crypto company Ziglu.

“在债券产生负利率的时期，大银行竟然敢于支付微不足道的利息，甚至对基本的银行账户收取费用，难怪越来越多的人希望将部分资金存储在加密货币中，”杨力说加密货币公司 Ziglu 的首席增长官。

The rally has coincided with increased institutional interest in the cryptocurrency.

此次上涨恰逢机构对加密货币的兴趣增加。

Square (SQ), Twitter founder Jack Dorsey’s payment company, invested $50m in bitcoin in October. That same month rival PayPal (PYPL) said it would allow customers to buy and hold crypto through its app. Square has let people buy crypto through its Cash app since 2018 and said last month 80% of Cash’s third quarter revenue came from bitcoin trading.

Twitter 创始人 Jack Dorsey 的支付公司 Square (SQ) 在 10 月份投资了 5000 万美元的比特币。同月，竞争对手 PayPal (PYPL) 表示，将允许客户通过其应用程序购买和持有加密货币。 Square 自 2018 年以来一直允许人们通过其 Cash 应用程序购买加密货币，并于上个月表示，Cash 第三季度收入的 80% 来自比特币交易。

Traditional finance players have been getting into the market alongside tech companies. High profile hedge fund manager Paul Tudor Jones bought bitcoin in May as a hedge against inflation. It marked one of the highest-profile endorsements of bitcoin from a traditional money manager.

传统金融企业一直在与科技公司一起进入市场。备受瞩目的对冲基金经理保罗·都铎·琼斯 (Paul Tudor Jones) 在五月份购买了比特币，作为对冲通胀的工具。它标志着传统资金管理者对比特币最引人注目的认可之一。

Others have followed since then. A fund manager survey by Bank of America, published this week, found that going long bitcoin was one of the most crowded trades in finance. 15% of fund managers who responded to the survey had taken this position, making it the third most popular trade.

从那时起，其他人也纷纷效仿。美国银行本周发布的一项基金经理调查发现，做多比特币是金融领域最拥挤的交易之一。 15% 接受调查的基金经理采取了这一立场，使其成为第三大最受欢迎的交易。

“While a lot of scepticism still surrounds cryptocurrencies, some in the investment community appear to have warmed to them,” said Michael Hewson, chief market analyst at CMC Markets. “This appears to be what is helping to drive the current move higher.”

CMC Markets 首席市场分析师 Michael Hewson 表示：“虽然加密货币仍然存在很多怀疑，但投资界的一些人似乎已经对它们产生了兴趣。” “这似乎有助于推动当前的走势。”

The latest institution to climb on the bitcoin train is London-based Ruffer Investment Management, which has £20bn of assets under management. The firm on Wednesday said its Multi-Strategies Fund had put 2.5% of its assets in bitcoin.

最新登上比特币列车的机构是总部位于伦敦的鲁弗投资管理公司，该公司管理着 200 亿英镑的资产。该公司周三表示，其多策略基金已将 2.5% 的资产投资于比特币。

“We see this as a small but potent insurance policy against the continuing devaluation of the world's major currencies,” management said in a statement.

“我们认为这是针对世界主要货币持续贬值的一项小而有效的保险政策，”管理层在一份声明中表示。
