比特币暴跌 22%，引发加密货币大规模抛售

Jakarta, Indonesia – The cryptocurrency market experienced a dramatic downturn on Saturday, December 4, as Bitcoin plummeted by 12% within minutes of the market opening. The world's leading cryptocurrency fell to a low of $47,495 per coin at approximately 04:20 a.m. ET (16:00 CEST).

印度尼西亚雅加达——12 月 4 日星期六，加密货币市场经历了急剧下滑，比特币在开盘后几分钟内暴跌 12%。世界领先的加密货币于美国东部时间凌晨 04:20 左右（中欧夏令时间 16:00）跌至每枚 47,495 美元的低点。

The extreme volatility continued throughout the day, with Bitcoin dropping further to $41,968 by late Saturday, representing a total loss of 22% for the day. The sell-off was also felt across the broader cryptocurrency market, with nearly $1 billion worth of cryptocurrencies being liquidated within 24 hours, according to data from trading platform Coinglass.

全天持续剧烈波动，截至周六晚间，比特币进一步跌至 41,968 美元，全天总跌幅达 22%。根据交易平台 Coinglass 的数据，整个加密货币市场也感受到了抛售，价值近 10 亿美元的加密货币在 24 小时内被清算。

The abrupt decline in Bitcoin's value is attributed to a combination of profit-taking and macroeconomic concerns, including worries about slower job growth in the US and the continued spread of the Omicron variant of COVID-19.

比特币价值的突然下跌归因于获利回吐和宏观经济担忧，包括对美国就业增长放缓和 Omicron 变种 COVID-19 持续传播的担忧。

Analysts also pointed to the upcoming testimony of executives from eight major cryptocurrency firms before the US House Financial Services Committee, scheduled for last Wednesday. The hearing was widely seen as a sign of increased regulatory scrutiny over the cryptocurrency industry, potentially contributing to investor uncertainty.

分析师还指出，八家主要加密货币公司的高管即将于上周三在美国众议院金融服务委员会作证。这次听证会被广泛认为是对加密货币行业加强监管审查的迹象，可能会增加投资者的不确定性。

Data from data platform CoinGecko revealed that nearly 11,400 cryptocurrencies witnessed a decline of over 11%, with the total market capitalization of all cryptocurrencies dropping to $2.37 trillion. This figure is significantly lower than the record high of $3 trillion reached last month.

数据平台CoinGecko的数据显示，近11400种加密货币跌幅超过11%，所有加密货币总市值跌至2.37万亿美元。这一数字明显低于上个月创下的 3 万亿美元的历史新高。

The broader sell-off in cryptocurrencies extended to other popular altcoins, including Ether (Ethereum), which fell by nearly 10% overnight.

加密货币的广泛抛售波及其他流行的山寨币，包括以太币（Ethereum），该币隔夜下跌近 10%。

Despite the recent market downturn, some experts believe that it presents an opportunity for investors to buy the dip and acquire cryptocurrencies at a lower price point. Justin d'Anethan, Hong Kong-based head of sales at cryptocurrency exchange EQONEX, suggested that "this is an opportunity to buy a dip for many investors who may have previously felt left out of the boat."

尽管最近市场低迷，但一些专家认为，这为投资者提供了逢低买入并以较低价格购买加密货币的机会。加密货币交易所 EQONEX 驻香港销售主管 Justin d'Anethan 表示，“对于许多之前可能感觉被排除在外的投资者来说，这是一个逢低买入的机会。”

D'Anethan also noted that "we can see Tether being bought at a premium, suggesting people are setting up cash, within the crypto space, to do just that." Tether is a stablecoin pegged to the US dollar, often used by traders to hedge against volatility in the cryptocurrency market.

D'Anethan 还指出，“我们可以看到 Tether 被高价购买，这表明人们正在加密货币领域设立现金来做到这一点。” Tether 是一种与美元挂钩的稳定币，交易者经常使用它来对冲加密货币市场的波动。

The recent volatility in the cryptocurrency market highlights the inherent risks associated with these digital assets, which are subject to sudden price swings and regulatory uncertainty. Investors are advised to approach cryptocurrency investments with caution and only invest what they can afford to lose.

最近加密货币市场的波动凸显了与这些数字资产相关的固有风险，这些资产容易受到价格突然波动和监管不确定性的影响。建议投资者谨慎对待加密货币投资，只投资他们能承受损失的部分。

The International Monetary Fund (IMF) has warned that economic growth projections are likely to be lowered due to renewed tensions and travel restrictions imposed in response to the Omicron variant. This uncertainty in the broader financial markets is also contributing to the volatility in the cryptocurrency market.

国际货币基金组织 (IMF) 警告称，由于新的紧张局势和针对 Omicron 变种实施的旅行限制，经济增长预测可能会下调。更广泛的金融市场的不确定性也加剧了加密货币市场的波动。

As the cryptocurrency industry continues to evolve and face increased scrutiny from regulators, investors should proceed with caution and carefully consider the risks involved before making any investment decisions.

随着加密货币行业不断发展并面临监管机构越来越严格的审查，投资者在做出任何投资决定之前应谨慎行事并仔细考虑所涉及的风险。
