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年大規模牛市達到頂峰以來，加密貨幣的價值已經下跌了2萬億美元，導致密碼行業所稱的“密碼冬天”，即一段長期的熊市。
The largest digital currency in the world, $Bitcoin(BTC.CC)$, is down 65% from its record high of around $69,000 reached in November.
世界上最大的數位貨幣，$位元幣(BTC.CC)$，較去年11月創下的約69,000美元的紀錄高位下跌了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.
加密貨幣的底部是6月18日。自那以來，該行業重新獲得了1萬億美元的市值，領先於包括FTX首席執行官在內的一些人薩姆·班克曼--油炸，相信冬天可能已經過去了。
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.
發生的事情：班克曼-弗裡德週二出現在福克斯商業頻道上，討論了包括被拒絕的$Voyager Digital Ltd(VYGVQ.US)$收購，FTX網站新推出的股票交易部分，以及密碼冬天-在這個冬天，他被問及它是否可能即將結束。
"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，”這位億萬富翁說。“歸根結底，這在很大程度上將取決於宏觀層面發生的情況，因此很難肯定。”
"If we were on a macro level at the end of the selloff, and we saw a continued recovery in stocks," he added.
“如果我們在拋售結束時處於宏觀層面，我們看到股市繼續復甦，”他補充道。
"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-弗裡德指出：“我認為我們將處於密碼寒冬的末期，我認為我們將看到密碼方面的復甦。”
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日觸底，此後標普500指數大漲近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警告說，“如果我們看到股市再次暴跌，我認為我們也會看到密碼領域的更多痛苦。”
