随着 Mt. Gox 倾销的临近，比特币将出现近一年来最大单周跌幅

全球最大的加密货币价格当天下跌 8% 至 53,523 美元，为 2 月底以来的最低水平。

Bitcoin was set for its biggest weekly decline in nearly a year on Friday as traders worried about the likely dumping of tokens from defunct Japanese exchange Mt. Gox and further selling by leveraged players after the cryptocurrency's strong run.

周五，比特币将创下近一年来的最大单周跌幅，因为交易员担心日本交易所 Mt. Gox 可能会抛售代币，并且在比特币强势上涨后，杠杆交易者会进一步抛售比特币。

The price of the world's largest cryptocurrency slid as much as 8% on the day to $53,523, its lowest since late February. It was last trading at $56,565, down more than 3% on the day.

全球最大的加密货币价格当天下跌 8% 至 53,523 美元，为 2 月底以来的最低水平。最后交易价为 56,565 美元，当日下跌超过 3%。

It was on track for a more than 10% weekly decline, its biggest since August 2023.

周跌幅有望超过 10%，为 2023 年 8 月以来的最大跌幅。

Ether, the world's second-largest cryptocurrency, slid to as low as $2,822.30, a more than two-month low. It was last at $2,976.62, down 5.28%.

全球第二大加密货币以太币跌至2,822.30美元，创两个多月低点。最后报2,976.62美元，下跌5.28%。

Mt. Gox, the world's leading exchange for cryptocurrencies before it collapsed a decade ago, may start returning bitcoin to creditors, who are seen as likely sellers since the token's worth was only hundreds of dollars in 2014, media reports said.

据媒体报道，全球领先的加密货币交易所 Mt. Gox 十年前倒闭，可能会开始将比特币返还给债权人，债权人被视为可能的卖家，因为 2014 年该代币的价值仅为数百美元。

"The selling pressure is still related to creditor selling from the failed Mt Gox exchange," said Tony Sycamore, a market analyst at IG. "However, the acceleration to the downside suggests the market is trying to get ahead of the creditor flows."

IG 市场分析师 Tony Sycamore 表示：“抛售压力仍然与破产的 Mt Gox 交易所的债权人抛售有关。” “然而，下行加速表明市场正试图领先于债权人的流动。”

The move downward in bitcoin triggered the largest daily liquidations for crypto traders since the collapse of crypto exchange FTX in 2022, according to a research note from Wintermute, a crypto trading firm.

加密货币交易公司 Wintermute 的一份研究报告显示，比特币的下跌引发了加密货币交易者自 2022 年加密货币交易所 FTX 倒闭以来最大规模的每日清算。

Analysts have also pointed to worries over the possibility of Joe Biden being replaced as the Democrats' presidential nominee by someone less pro-crypto after a shaky debate performance with rival candidate Donald Trump.

分析人士还指出，在与竞争对手候选人唐纳德·特朗普的辩论表现不佳后，人们担心乔·拜登作为民主党总统候选人的地位可能会被不那么支持加密货币的人取代。

"What's striking about this slide in bitcoin is it comes as U.S. stocks and global equity indexes rest at or near record highs - the correlation between Bitcoin and mainstream equities is fraying," said Antoni Trenchev, co-founder of crypto platform Nexo.

加密平台 Nexo 联合创始人安东尼·特伦切夫 (Antoni Trenchev) 表示：“比特币下跌的惊人之处在于，美国股市和全球股票指数处于或接近历史高位，比特币与主流股票之间的相关性正在减弱。”

Bitcoin had a strong start to the year after the launch of exchange-traded funds in the U.S., propelling it to a record $73,803.25 in mid-March. However, it has since struggled.

在美国推出交易所交易基金后，比特币今年开局强劲，在 3 月中旬将其价格推升至创纪录的 73,803.25 美元。然而，此后它一直在挣扎。

"With an asset that has been rangebound for quite a while and recently in the lower end of that range, there are plenty of margined positions," said Justin D'Anethan at digital assets market maker Keyrock.

数字资产做市商 Keyrock 的贾斯汀·达内森 (Justin D'Anethan) 表示：“由于资产在相当长一段时间内一直处于区间波动状态，最近又处于该区间的下限，因此存在大量保证金头寸。”

"This of course creates a cascading effect, pushing prices further down than it might in a market with less leverage."

“这当然会产生连锁效应，使价格比杠杆较低的市场进一步下跌。”
