Are we close to the end of the crypto winter? FTX CEO Sam Bankman-Fried thinks it could be
The value of cryptocurrencies has fallen by $2 trillion since the height of a massive bull run in 2021, resulting in what the crypto industry calls a "crypto winter," or a period of a prolonged bear market.
自2021年大规模牛市达到顶峰以来，加密货币的价值已经下跌了2万亿美元，导致密码行业所称的“密码冬天”，即一段长期的熊市。
The largest digital currency in the world, $Bitcoin(BTC.CC)$, is down 65% from its record high of around $69,000 reached in November.
世界上最大的数字货币，$比特币(BTC.CC)$，较去年11月创下的约69,000美元的纪录高位下跌了65%。
The bottom for cryptocurrency was June 18. Since then, the sector has regained a $1 trillion market cap, leading some people, including FTX CEO Sam Bankman-Fried, to believe that the winter may be over.
加密货币的底部是6月18日。自那以来，该行业重新获得了1万亿美元的市值，领先于包括FTX首席执行官在内的一些人萨姆·班克曼--油炸，相信冬天可能已经过去了。
What Happened: Bankman-Fried appeared on Fox Business on Tuesday to discuss various topics including the rejected $VOYAGER DIGITAL LTD(VYGVQ.US)$ buyout, the newly introduced stock trading portion of the FTX website and the crypto winter — of which he was asked if it may be nearing its end.
发生的事情：班克曼-弗里德周二出现在福克斯商业频道上，讨论了包括被拒绝的$Voyager Digital Ltd(VYGVQ.US)$收购，FTX网站新推出的股票交易部分，以及密码冬天-在这个冬天，他被问及它是否可能即将结束。
"It could be," the billionaire said. "Ultimately, so much of this is going to be based on what happens in macro that it's going to be hard to say for sure."
“有可能，”这位亿万富翁说。“归根结底，这在很大程度上将取决于宏观层面发生的情况，因此很难肯定。”
"If we were on a macro level at the end of the selloff, and we saw a continued recovery in stocks," he added.
“如果我们在抛售结束时处于宏观层面，我们看到股市继续复苏，”他补充道。
"I think we would be at the end of the crypto winter, and I think we would see a recovery on the crypto side," Bankman-Fried noted.
班克曼-弗里德指出：“我认为我们将处于密码寒冬的末期，我认为我们将看到密码方面的复苏。”
It is worth noting that the equity market bottomed on June 16, and the S&P 500 rallied nearly 12% since.
值得注意的是，股市在6月16日触底，此后标普500指数大涨近12%。
"The only caveat to this," Bankman-Fried warned, "is if we see stocks plunge again, I think we're going to see more pain in crypto as well."
“唯一的警告是，”Bankman-Fry警告说，“如果我们看到股市再次暴跌，我认为我们也会看到密码领域的更多痛苦。”
