在三天周末期間,關于美聯儲下一次加息的消息令市場緊張兮兮,而CoinMarketCap的數據顯示,比特幣價格期間曾四度突破25,000美元,但之后每次都會快速回落。
2月17日,比特幣價格首次突破八個月基準價格后,周日再次突破該價位,周一曾兩度突破25,000美元,并且在周一美國東部時間凌晨3:30又一次超過了這個價格。
到周二上午,比特幣價格回落,交易價格約為24,500美元,在之前的24個小時下跌了1.5%。第二種主要加密貨幣以太幣在周二的交易價格約為1,600美元,下跌2%。
比特幣價格突破25,000美元大關后,無法維持上漲的勢頭。
做為最受歡迎的加密貨幣,比特幣在25,000美元的價位遭遇阻力,這一方面要歸因于美聯儲(Federal Reserve)在其3月份召開的會議上的加息幅度可能高于預期。圣路易斯聯儲(St. Louis Federal Reserve)總裁詹姆斯·布拉德上周表示,他在上一次會議上推動加息半個百分點,在3月的會議上也可能這樣做。克利夫蘭聯儲(Cleveland Fed)總裁洛雷塔·梅斯特也表示認同。消息傳出后,股市下跌,這可能導致投資者在將比特幣價格推高到突破25,000美元時出現了猶豫。
更嚴格的監管執法也可能打擊了加密貨幣投資者的樂觀情緒。上周,在收到紐約金融服務部(New York Department of Financial Services)的命令之后,Paxos表示將停止發行新的Binance USD(BUSD)穩定幣。來自紐約的加密貨幣公司Paxos還可能面臨美國證券交易委員會(Securities and Exchange Commission)所提起的訴訟。雙方爭論的焦點是加密貨幣是否是一種未注冊的證券。此次訴訟可能對投資者和美國的穩定幣產生影響。
據數字投資與交易組織CoinShares的報告稱,雖然從年初至今,比特幣市場流入資金1.58億美元,但上周比特幣市場的資金流出增多。比特幣資金流出量達到約2,500萬美元,是資金流出量最高的主要加密貨幣,另有370萬美元資金流入做空比特幣或押注比特幣貶值的投資產品。
但在以糟糕的表現結束2022年之后,比特幣價格在2023年依舊上漲了近50%。加密貨幣交易平臺Bitfinex的報告稱,上周,在最新非同質化代幣藏品Ordinals的刺激下,非零余額的比特幣錢包地址總數達到史上最高的4,400萬個。
該交易平臺寫道:“這意味著有新的投資者進入比特幣市場,這或許是比特幣近期價格上漲的原因之一。”(財富中文網)

Over the course of a three-day weekend marked by skittishness over the Fed’s next rate hike, Bitcoin broke above the $25,000 level four times before promptly retreating on each occasion, according to data from CoinMarketCap.
After surpassing that benchmark for the first time in eight months on Feb. 17, Bitcoin did it again on Sunday, twice on Monday, and again around 3:30 a.m. ET on Monday.
As of Tuesday morning, the cryptocurrency had pared back gains and was trading at about $24,500, down 1.5% in the last 24 hours. The second leading cryptocurrency, Ether, was trading down 2% at about $1,600 on Tuesday.
Bitcoin has struggled to maintain its momentum past the $25,000 mark.
The most popular cryptocurrency is facing resistance at the $25,000 level that’s being partly fueled by what could be a higher-than-expected rate increase by the Federal Reserve at its March meeting. St. Louis Federal Reserve President James Bullard said last week that he had pushed for a half-a-percentage-point rate increase at the last meeting and may do so at the March meeting. Cleveland Fed President Loretta Mester concurred. Stocks declined on the news, likely contributing to the hesitancy of investors to push Bitcoin beyond $25,000.
Tougher regulatory enforcement could also be a hindrance for crypto investor optimism. Last week, Paxos said it would stop minting the Binance USD (BUSD) stablecoin, after the New York Department of Financial Services ordered it to do so. The New York-based crypto company also faces a possible lawsuit from the Securities and Exchange commission over whether the cryptocurrency is an unregistered security—an action that could have ramifications for investors and U.S.-based stablecoins.
Despite inflows of $158 million year-to-date, last week Bitcoin saw an increase in money leaving the asset, according to a note from digital investment and trading group CoinShares. There were about $25 million in Bitcoin outflows, the highest among top cryptocurrencies, along with $3.7 million in inflows to investment products meant to short it—or bet on it losing value.
Still, after an abysmal end to 2022, Bitcoin is up nearly 50% in 2023. Last week, fueled in part by emerging NFT collection Ordinals, the total number of Bitcoin wallet addresses with a non-zero balance reached an all-time high of 44 million, according to a note from crypto exchange Bitfinex.
“This suggests an influx of new investors, likely helping drive the recent gains for Bitcoin,” the exchange wrote.
