Bitcoin jumped briefly on Tuesday after a post on the US markets regulators X account (formerly Twitter) said it had approved new so-called exchange-traded funds (ETFs) in the cryptocurrency.周二，在美国市场监管机构的X账户(前身为Twitter)发布消息称，该机构已批准比特币新成立的所谓交易所交易基金(etf)后，比特币价格短暂上涨。

The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) later deleted the post and said its account had been “compromised”.

美国证券交易委员会(SEC)随后删除了该帖子，并表示其账户已被“入侵”。

The social media platform has said the compromised account was not due to a breach of its systems.

这家社交媒体平台表示，账户被盗并不是由于其系统遭到破坏。

US regulators are expected to make an announcement on the new ETFs this week.

预计美国监管机构将于本周就新etf发布公告。

The false post appeared on the SECs official X account shortly after 16:00 Washington time (21:00 GMT).

华盛顿时间16:00(格林尼治标准时间21:00)后不久，这条虚假帖子出现在SEC的官方X账户上。

It said the regulator “grants approval for #Bitcoin ETFs for listing on all registered national securities exchanges”.

它表示，监管机构“批准比特币etf在所有注册的国家证券交易所上市”。

The post was immediately picked up and quoted by social media users and business news outlets.

这篇帖子立即被社交媒体用户和商业新闻媒体转载和引用。

Within minutes the SECs chair Gary Gensler posted a message refuting the erroneous announcement on his personal X account: “The @SECGov twitter account was compromised, and an unauthorized tweet was posted.

几分钟后，美国证券交易委员会主席加里·詹斯勒(Gary Gensler)在他的个人X账户上发布了一条消息，驳斥了这一错误声明:“@SECGov的推特账户遭到入侵，并发布了一条未经授权的推文。

The SEC has not approved the listing and trading of spot bitcoin exchange-traded products.”

“The SEC has determined that there was unauthorized access to and activity on the @SECGov x.com account by an unknown party for a brief period of time shortly after 4 pm ET,” an SEC spokesperson told the BBC.

美国证券交易委员会尚未批准比特币现货交易所交易产品的上市和交易。” 美国证券交易委员会的一位发言人告诉BBC:“美国证券交易委员会已经确定，在美国东部时间下午4点后的一小段时间内，一个未知方未经授权访问了@ secgovx.com账户并进行了活动。”

“That unauthorized access has been terminated,” they added.

“这种未经授权的访问已被终止，”他们补充说。

“The SEC will work with law enforcement and our partners across government to investigate the matter and determine appropriate next steps relating to both the unauthorized access and any related misconduct.”

Later on Tuesday, X said it had completed a preliminary probe into the false post on the SECs account and found that it was not due to a breach of the social media platforms systems.

“美国证券交易委员会将与执法部门和政府各部门的合作伙伴合作，调查此事，并确定与未经授权的访问和任何相关不当行为有关的适当下一步措施。” 周二晚些时候，X表示已经完成了对美国证券交易委员会账户上的虚假帖子的初步调查，并发现这不是由于社交媒体平台的系统遭到破坏。

“We can confirm that the account @SECGov was compromised and we have completed a preliminary investigation,” X said.

X表示:“我们可以确认@SECGov账户遭到了入侵，我们已经完成了初步调查。”

“Based on our investigation, the compromise was not due to any breach of Xs systems, but rather due to an unidentified individual obtaining control over a phone number associated with the @SECGov account through a third party,” it added.

“根据我们的调查，这次泄密不是由于X的系统遭到了任何破坏，而是由于一个身份不明的个人通过第三方获得了与@SECGov账户相关的电话号码的控制权，”它补充说。

“We can also confirm that the account did not have two-factor authentication enabled at the time the account was compromised.”

Bitcoin jumped to almost $48,000 (£37,800) immediately after the erroneous post before falling back to around $46,000.

“我们还可以确认，该账户在被入侵时没有启用双因素身份验证。” 在这篇错误的帖子发布后，比特币立即飙升至近4.8万美元(合3.78万英镑)，随后回落至4.6万美元左右。

Investors are hotly anticipating an SEC announcement on the potential approval of spot bitcoin ETFs, which is expected this week.

投资者热切期待美国证券交易委员会(SEC)可能批准比特币现货etf的公告，预计该公告将于本周发布。

It would mark a key milestone for the cryptocurrency market in gaining acceptance to mainstream financial markets.

这将标志着加密货币市场获得主流金融市场认可的一个关键里程碑。

Several asset management firms have applied for SEC approval for spot Bitcoin ETFs.

ETFs are portfolios that allow investors to bet on multiple assets, without having to buy any themselves.

几家资产管理公司已经向SEC申请了比特币现货etf的批准。 etf是一种允许投资者押注于多种资产的投资组合，而无需自己购买任何资产。

Traded on stock exchanges like shares, their value depends on how the overall portfolio performs in real time.

像股票一样在证券交易所交易，它们的价值取决于整个投资组合的实时表现。

Some ETFs already contain Bitcoin indirectly – but a spot Bitcoin ETF will buy the cryptocurrency directly, “on the spot”, at its current price, throughout the day.

一些ETF已经间接包含比特币，但现货比特币ETF将全天以当前价格直接“当场”购买这种加密货币。
