截至美国东部时间周六上午
10:30，该加密货币在过去 24 小时内下跌了 13% 以上，从 56,294 美元跌至 48,309 美元——损失近 8,000 美元。
这与上个月创下的历史新高形成鲜明对比，当时比特币在 11 月 9 日达到近 69,000 美元。
这是从当天早些时候暴跌逾 17% 后的小幅反弹。
以太坊是第二大最受欢迎的加密货币，下跌近 10%。
比特币的下跌是在金融市场动荡的一周之后出现的。 在数据显示美国 11 月就业增长放缓且冠状病毒的 Omicron 变体使投资者保持紧张之后，全球股市和基准美国债券收益率周五下跌。
来自另一个平台 Coinglass 的数据显示，在过去 24 小时内，价值近 10 亿美元的加密货币被清算，其中大部分在数字交易所 Bitfinex 上。
Bitcoin plunges overnight
Bitcoin prices plummeted overnight to a low of about $43,000.
As of 10:30 am EST Saturday, the cryptocurrency had dropped more than 13% in the previous 24 hours, from $56,294 to $48,309 -- a loss of almost $8,000.
That's a stark contrast from its all-time high of just last month, when Bitcoin reached almost $69,000 on November 9.
It's a slight rebound from a plunge of more than 17% earlier in the day.
Ether, the second most popular cyrptocurrency, fell almost 10%.
The drop for bitcoin follows a volatile week for financial markets. Global equities and benchmark U.S. bond yields tumbled on Friday after data showed US job growth slowed in November and the Omicron variant of the coronavirus kept investors on edge.
Data from another platform, Coinglass, showed that nearly $1 billion worth of cryptocurrencies had been liquidated over the past 24 hours, with the bulk being on digital exchange Bitfinex.
