上周末,由于股市拋售的影響外溢到虛擬幣市場(chǎng),比特幣和以太幣的幣值都遭到了重大損失。
作為全球最知名的虛擬幣,比特幣的幣值本周早些時(shí)候一度接近6萬(wàn)美元,有人預(yù)測(cè)今年年底甚至有望達(dá)到10萬(wàn)美元。不過(guò)根據(jù)CoinMarketCap公司的數(shù)據(jù),上周末,全球五大虛擬幣的幣值全部出現(xiàn)暴跌,比特幣在24小時(shí)內(nèi)跌幅超過(guò)1萬(wàn)美元,在上周六已經(jīng)跌破5萬(wàn)美元。以太幣的幣值也遭到重創(chuàng),由4200美元跌至3636.56美元的低點(diǎn),之后略有回升。
虛擬幣資產(chǎn)管理公司Eaglebrook Advisors的創(chuàng)始人、CEO克里斯·金指出,市場(chǎng)對(duì)奧密克戎毒株的恐慌,以及對(duì)美聯(lián)儲(chǔ)本月月末有可能縮減購(gòu)債計(jì)劃的擔(dān)憂(yōu),是導(dǎo)致虛擬幣幣值本輪大跌的兩大主要原因。這些問(wèn)題又被上周末虛擬幣市場(chǎng)的低流動(dòng)性放大了,因?yàn)檩^低的流動(dòng)性本來(lái)就容易導(dǎo)致幣值出現(xiàn)較大起伏。
克里斯·金對(duì)《財(cái)富》表示:“當(dāng)全球市場(chǎng)出現(xiàn)下跌時(shí),由于虛擬幣這一資產(chǎn)類(lèi)別的流動(dòng)性較低、波動(dòng)性加大,加上它本質(zhì)上是一種高風(fēng)險(xiǎn)資產(chǎn),所以它就會(huì)下跌得更加嚴(yán)重一些。”
對(duì)于虛擬幣來(lái)說(shuō),幣值下跌幾千美元并不是什么值得驚訝的事,尤其是在周末的時(shí)候。
克里斯·金指出,每逢周末,交易員就無(wú)法進(jìn)行證券類(lèi)或固定收益類(lèi)的交易,但他們卻可以進(jìn)行虛擬幣交易,因?yàn)樘摂M幣是可以每周7天、每天24小時(shí)全天候交易的。雖然如此,一般來(lái)說(shuō),在周末進(jìn)行虛擬幣交易的人也比平常少一些。克里斯·金表示,這意味著幣圈的任何大規(guī)模拋售都有可能對(duì)市場(chǎng)造成重大影響。
克里斯·金表示:“如果交易是在星期二進(jìn)行的,這對(duì)市場(chǎng)的影響就會(huì)小一些,因?yàn)槭袌?chǎng)另一端的人會(huì)更多,流動(dòng)性也就會(huì)更強(qiáng)。”

雖然上周末虛擬幣市場(chǎng)遭受了重大損失,但克里斯·金認(rèn)為,這只是市場(chǎng)偶發(fā)的一次正常反應(yīng),從長(zhǎng)遠(yuǎn)來(lái)看無(wú)需擔(dān)心。
同時(shí)他也表示,Eaglebrook Advisor公司的很多客戶(hù)還借機(jī)抄底了一波,增加了對(duì)虛擬幣的投資。
本周一下午,虛擬幣市場(chǎng)已經(jīng)略微有所回彈,比特幣和以太幣雙雙上漲了1%左右。不過(guò)目前比特幣的幣值仍低于5萬(wàn)美元,比7日內(nèi)最高點(diǎn)的59113.40美元低了大約20%,比30日內(nèi)最高點(diǎn)的68789.63美元低了將近30%。(財(cái)富中文網(wǎng))

Bitcoin and Ethereum took substantial losses over the weekend as a selloff in the equities market spilled over into crypto.
Earlier this week, Bitcoin, the world’s top cryptocurrency, was flirting with a $60,000 valuation, with some predicting a run to $100,000 as early as the end of the year. But in the weekend rout that hit the top five cryptocurrencies, Bitcoin fell $10,000 in 24 hours and dropped below $50,000 on Saturday. Ether also took a hit the same day, falling from about $4,200 per coin to a low of $3,636.56 before recovering slightly, according to CoinMarketCap.
Worries about the Omicron variant and the possibility that the Federal Reserve will taper its bond-buying program later this month were two contributing causes, according to Chris King, founder and CEO of Eaglebrook Advisors, a crypto asset manager for financial advisers. These issues were magnified by the lower liquidity of the crypto market on the weekend, which tends to exaggerate movements either up or down, he added.
“When these global markets fall, crypto falls a little bit more given the lower liquidity of the asset class, the volatility, and all of those things as crypto is a risk-on asset,” King told Fortune.
Cryptocurrency is no stranger to price drops in the thousands of dollars, especially on weekends.
Traders can’t deal in equities or fixed income over the weekend, but they can deal in crypto, which trades 24/7. But even then, crypto has fewer people trading overall on the weekends, as opposed to weekdays. That means that any big selloffs of a cryptocurrency can drastically move the market, King said.
“If they did it on a Tuesday, it would affect the market less because there would be more people on the other end of the market and there’d be more liquidity,” King said.
U.S.-based traders on the weekend are also limited to the amount of money they currently have in their accounts, because to get more they would need to use banks or other financial institutions, which usually aren’t open on Saturday and Sunday.
Despite the substantial losses the crypto market took over the weekend, King said the selloffs were merely a knee jerk reaction that happens from time to time, and not something to worry about in the long term.
King said a number of Eaglebrook Advisor clients took advantage of the price dip to increase their investments in crypto.
Bitcoin and Ether were both up about 1% on Monday afternoon as crypto recovered slightly after the weekend rout. But with Bitcoin below $50,000, it is still about 20% lower than its seven-day high of $59,113.40 and nearly 30% lower than its 30-day high of $68,789.63.
