【時報編譯柯婉琇綜合外電報導】在特斯拉執行長馬斯克加持下,亞洲時間周四上午比特幣和其他加密貨幣強勁反彈,全球最大數位貨幣比特幣一度收復32,000美元大關,以太幣更一度飆升逾12%。

同時兼任特斯拉和SpaceX執行長的馬斯克周三在B-Word會議上證實自己持有以太幣。這場會議由全球加密貨幣產業領袖聯盟the Crypto Council for Innovation主辦。

根據Coin Metrics數據,周三比特幣最高升至32,765美元。

根據Coindesk報價,目前比特幣大漲7.5%,報31949.30美元。市值排名第二的加密貨幣以太幣目前漲11.14%,報1977.20美元,稍早前一度飆升逾12%。

瑞波幣(XRP)漲7%,為0.56454美元。狗狗幣漲7.54%。

周二隔夜市場加密貨幣遭到大舉拋售,比特幣跌破3萬美元大關,為6月22日來首見。

雖然可能對環境構成風險,但馬斯克仍重申他對加密貨幣的支持。他表示,隨著比特幣挖礦採用越來越多的再生能源,特斯拉可能再次接受比特幣進行交易。

馬斯克表示,此時他唯一持有的上市股票就是特斯拉股票,而他個人擁有一些比特幣、狗狗幣和以太幣。

馬斯克表示,他一直長期持有他的比特幣,「如果比特幣的價格下跌,我就會賠錢。我可能會拉抬(pump),但我不會拋售( dump),我絕對不相信那些將價格拉高並出售或類似的事,我希望看到比特幣成功」。

此外,馬斯克證實特斯拉和SpaceX都擁有比特幣,但目前尚未持有其他加密貨幣。

Ethereum price rises after Elon Musk confirms he owns the cryptocurrency

]

The price of ethereum rose Wednesday afternoon after Tesla and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk said he owns the cryptocurrency at The B Word conference, an event hosted by the Crypto Council for Innovation.

Ethereum, which was already rallying on the day, touched its high of the session after Musk’s mention. It was last up more than 12% and near the highs of the day.

Musk also repeated his support for cryptocurrency in general, despite potential environmental risks, saying, “One thing you do need to watch out for with crypto, especially bitcoin, using proof of work, using energy that’s a bit too much and not necessarily good for the environment.”

As bitcoin mining is increasingly powered by renewable energy, Musk said, Tesla will likely move to accept bitcoin for transactions once again.
