杰罗姆·鲍威尔表示美联储不能持有比特币，将决定权留给国会

美联储主席杰罗姆·鲍威尔在新闻发布会上指出，美国央行不允许持有比特币。

Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell has confirmed that the central bank is not permitted to hold Bitcoin, leaving the decision to Congress.

美联储主席杰罗姆·鲍威尔已确认央行不得持有比特币，将决定权交给国会。

During a press conference on Wednesday, Powell was asked about the possibility of the U.S. government building a Bitcoin reserve, similar to how it holds gold.

在周三的新闻发布会上，鲍威尔被问及美国政府建立比特币储备的可能性，类似于持有黄金的方式。

“We're not allowed to own bitcoin. The Federal Reserve Act says what we can own, and we're not looking for a law change. That's something for Congress to decide, not the Fed,” Powell said.

“我们不被允许拥有比特币。 《联邦储备法》规定了我们可以拥有什么，我们并不寻求修改法律。这是由国会决定的事情，而不是美联储，”鲍威尔说。

These statements come amid growing interest in Bitcoin as a potential asset for the U.S. government to hold. President-elect Donald Trump has supported the idea, suggesting that the U.S. should not fall behind other countries in the global crypto race.

这些声明发布之际，人们对比特币作为美国政府持有的潜在资产的兴趣日益浓厚。当选总统唐纳德·特朗普支持这一想法，并表示美国不应在全球加密货币竞赛中落后于其他国家。

Some pro-crypto senators, including Senator Cynthia Lummis from Wyoming, have also been pushing for this idea. Lummis has even drafted a bill requiring the U.S. Treasury to buy one million Bitcoin over the next five years.

一些支持加密货币的参议员，包括来自怀俄明州的参议员辛西娅·鲁米斯（Cynthia Lummis），也一直在推动这一想法。 Lummis 甚至起草了一项法案，要求美国财政部在未来五年内购买 100 万比特币。

Following Powell’s comments, the cryptocurrency market reacted quickly. Bitcoin dropped to $100,300, down about 5.7% over the past 24 hours. At the time of press, Bitcoin was trading at $100,740.

鲍威尔此番言论后，加密货币市场迅速做出反应。比特币跌至 100,300 美元，过去 24 小时下跌约 5.7%。截至发稿时，比特币交易价格为 100,740 美元。

The broader cryptocurrency market also took a hit. Ethereum fell by 6.8%, Binance Coin (BNB) dropped by 4.6%, and Solana (SOL) by 8.1%. Dogecoin (DOGE) performed the least among the top 10 ranked tokens, dropping by 11% to $0.348.

更广泛的加密货币市场也受到了打击。以太坊下跌 6.8%，币安币 (BNB) 下跌 4.6%，Solana (SOL) 下跌 8.1%。狗狗币 (DOGE) 在排名前 10 的代币中表现最差，下跌 11% 至 0.348 美元。

The stock market also reacted negatively to Powell’s comments. The S&P 500 closed with a loss of 1.55%, and the Nasdaq 100 dropped by around 2%.

股市也对鲍威尔的言论做出负面反应。标准普尔 500 指数收盘下跌 1.55%，纳斯达克 100 指数下跌约 2%。

These reactions highlight how the market is closely tied to news about government policies, especially when it comes to cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin. Powell’s stance on not supporting a Bitcoin reserve created uncertainty among investors, who quickly adjusted their positions by selling.

这些反应凸显了市场与政府政策新闻的紧密联系，尤其是在涉及比特币等加密货币时。鲍威尔不支持比特币储备的立场给投资者带来了不确定性，他们迅速通过抛售调整头寸。

Powell's comments and their impact on the market demonstrate how Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies are heavily influenced by investors and policymakers.

鲍威尔的言论及其对市场的影响表明了比特币和其他加密货币如何受到投资者和政策制定者的严重影响。
