      "background_zh": "冷钱包通常是 Ledger、Trezor 等硬件设备，它并不持有比特币本身，而是保存控制比特币访问权限的私钥，是自我托管（self-custody）的核心工具。自我托管意味着用户是加密货币的唯一所有者，没有私钥任何人都无法动用资金，从而能有效抵御网络攻击。然而，这种安排也会让实际持有人成为犯罪目标，入室抢劫已成为加密相关犯罪中有据可查的常见模式。",
      "background_en": "A cold wallet, often a hardware device such as a Ledger or Trezor, stores the private keys that control access to Bitcoin rather than holding the Bitcoin itself, and is a central tool in self-custody. Self-custody means the user is the sole owner of the crypto and nobody else can access it without those keys, which is a strong defense against online attacks. However, the same arrangement makes the physical owner a target, and home invasions have become a documented pattern in crypto-related crime.",

      "community_discussion_en": "",
      "market_impact_zh": "这类事件的影响主要是情绪和行为层面，而非市场机制层面：针对自我托管持有人的暴力犯罪可能放大持有比特币的物理风险感知，促使部分投资者转向交易所托管或保险覆盖的托管服务。这可能导致托管机构、机构级安全服务商、硬件钱包厂商及加密货币犯罪保险等细分市场的需求发生变化，同时也会影响围绕数字资产的监管和公共安全讨论。",
      "market_impact_en": "The direct exposure is emotional and behavioral rather than market-mechanical: violent attacks on self-custody holders may raise the perceived physical risk of holding Bitcoin and push some investors toward exchange custody or insured custodial services. This could shift demand among market segments such as custodians, institutional security providers, hardware wallet makers, and crypto crime insurance, while also feeding broader regulatory and public-safety debates around digital assets.",
