前沿资讯：比特币、以太币价格剧烈波动
Crypto prices endured wild swings on Thursday as traders anxiously awaited a U.S. regulatory decision to list spot-based ether exchange-traded funds.
周四，加密货币价格经历了剧烈波动，交易员们焦急地等待着美国监管机构关于上市基于现货的以太坊交易所交易基金的决定。
Within a nerve-wracking hour leading up to the eventual approval, ETH first tumbled to $3,500 at around U.S. traditional market closing time, then surged to near $3,900 as the first unconfirmed reports of an approval appeared to eventually settle above $3,800 following the confirmation.
在最终批准前令人紧张不安的一小时内，以太坊先是在美国传统市场收盘前后跌至 3500 美元，然后又因第一份未经证实的批准报告出现而飙升至 3900 美元附近，最终在确认后稳定在 3800 美元以上。
Bitcoin (BTC) saw a similarly hectic episode sinking to the low-$66,000s, then spiking to $68,300 before paring gains below $68,000. However, ETH performed stronger, advancing 1.5% over the past 24 hours, compared to BTC's almost 3% decline during the same period. The broad-market CoinDesk 20 Index was down 1.6% during the day.
比特币（BTC）也出现了类似的混乱局面，先是跌至 66,000 美元的低位，然后飙升至 68,300 美元，随后涨幅收窄，跌破 68,000 美元。不过，ETH 的表现更为强劲，在过去 24 小时内上涨了 1.5%，而 BTC 同期则下跌了近 3%。当天，大盘 CoinDesk 20 指数下跌了 1.6%。
Amid the volatile episode, liquidations across all leveraged crypto derivative positions soared to over $350 million during the day, the most since May 1, CoinGlass data shows.
CoinGlass数据显示，在这一波动事件中，当天所有杠杆加密货币衍生品头寸的清算额飙升至3.5亿美元以上，为5月1日以来最多。
Liquidations happen when an exchange closes a leveraged trading position due to a partial or total loss of the trader’s initial money down or "margin" – if the trader fails to meet the margin requirements or doesn't have enough funds to keep the trade open.
当交易者的初始资金或 "保证金 "部分或全部亏损时（如果交易者未能满足保证金要求或没有足够的资金继续交易），交易所就会关闭杠杆交易头寸，从而发生清算。
The lion's share of the wiped-out positions were longs betting in rising prices, worth roughly $250 million, suggesting that over-leveraged traders were caught off-guard by the sudden price plunge. ETH traders took the biggest hit, with $132 million of liquidations, followed by $70 million in BTC derivatives liquidations.
大部分被清仓的头寸是押注价格上涨的多头头寸，价值约 2.5 亿美元，这表明过度杠杆化的交易者对价格的突然暴跌措手不及。以太坊交易商受到的打击最大，清算了 1.32 亿美元，其次是 7000 万美元的 BTC 衍生品清算。
