薩爾瓦多的大多數比特幣公司現在處於休眠狀態

El Salvador使用比特幣作為合法資金，在2021年在全球引起了全球關注。將近三年後，新鮮統計數據表明，大多數註冊的比特幣公司現在處於休眠狀態

El Salvador's bold experiment with Bitcoin as legal tender in 2021 drew worldwide attention. Yet, nearly three years later, new statistics from El Mundo, citing data from the Central Reserve Bank, paint a stark picture: only 20 out of 181 registered Bitcoin companies are still operational. This means that approximately 89% of these firms are now inactive, significantly hindering the country's digital aspirations.

薩爾瓦多（El Salvador）在2021年對比特幣作為法定招標的大膽實驗引起了全球關注。然而，將近三年後，埃爾·蒙多（El Mundo）的新統計數據引用了中央儲備銀行（Central Reserve Bank）的數據，描繪了一個鮮明的畫面：在181家註冊的比特幣公司中，只有20個仍在運營。這意味著現在大約有89％的公司不活躍，這極大地阻礙了該國的數字願望。

Of the 181 companies that applied to provide services in accordance with the Bitcoin Law Regulation, at least 22 may have failed to meet the requirements of Article 4. This regulation mandates high integrity standards, compliance with anti-money laundering rules, and the establishment of cybersecurity protocols.

在根據《比特幣法律法規》提供服務的181家公司中，至少有22家可能未能滿足第4條的要求。該法規要求高完整性標準，遵守反款洗錢規則以及建立網絡安全協議。

Among the few Bitcoin service providers still operating is the government-backed Chivo Wallet. Launched with an aim to boost Bitcoin adoption, Chivo offered initial incentives, such as a $30 Bitcoin bonus for each user at the time of the cryptocurrency's legal tender launch. However, despite these efforts, technical issues and limited public interest in the Chivo Wallet were reported shortly after its introduction.

在仍在運營的少數比特幣服務提供商中，是政府支持的Chivo Wallet。 Chivo旨在提高比特幣採用的目的是為了提高比特幣的採用，提供了最初的激勵措施，例如加密貨幣招標發佈時為每個用戶提供30美元的比特幣獎金。但是，儘管有這些努力，但在引入後不久，據報導，技術問題和公共利益有限。

According to the Bitcoin Law Regulation, any company offering Bitcoin services must report on its assets, liabilities, and capital structure on a quarterly basis. Additionally, service providers are required to maintain cybersecurity systems commensurate with the nature, scope, and sensitivity of the services they provide. For startups and mid-sized crypto firms in El Salvador, cutting-edge cybersecurity technology and financial reporting on this scale may be difficult to achieve.

根據《比特幣法律法規》，任何提供比特幣服務的公司都必須每季度報告其資產，負債和資本結構。此外，需要服務提供商維護與其提供的服務的性質，範圍和敏感性相稱的網絡安全系統。對於El Salvador的初創企業和中型加密企業，可能很難實現此規模的尖端網絡安全技術和財務報告。

Commenting on the challenges faced by startups in El Salvador, Hon Ng, Chief Legal Officer at cryptocurrency exchange Bitget, which is licensed in the country, said: “With over 88% of Bitcoin-related companies still non-operational and the gap between legislation and the local operating environment, we can see that there are still large infrastructural and institutional hurdles to overcome.”

在該國許可的加密貨幣交易所Bitget的首席法律官El Salvador所面臨的挑戰時，已獲得該國的許可。

“While the Salvadoran Law on the Integration of Bitcoin as Legal Tender is part of a forward-thinking strategy to advance the digital economy, it may not fully align with how startups are typically founded and funded in the country. This broad scope of the law is part of the complexity for smaller firms to maintain compliance in the long term.”

“雖然薩爾瓦多法律關於比特幣作為法定招標的法律是推進數字經濟的一種前瞻性戰略的一部分，但它可能與該國通常在該國建立和資助的初創企業如何完全吻合。這項廣泛的法律範圍是長期合規性合規性合規性的複雜性的一部分。”

The Bitcoin Law, which came into effect in September 2021, also requires all service providers to demonstrate transparency in their assets and liabilities and to deploy security protocols that align with the nature of the services they offer. For small and medium-sized firms in a market where public demand is still being measured, these are costly and complex requirements to maintain.

比特幣法律於2021年9月生效，還要求所有服務提供商證明其資產和負債的透明度，並部署與他們提供的服務性質保持一致的安全協議。對於仍在衡量公共需求的市場中的中小型公司，這些都是昂貴且複雜的維護要求。

On the other hand, institutions like the International Monetary Fund (IMF) have been critical of El Salvador's crypto policies, which officials say are part of the reason why a $1.3 billion financial deal has yet to be reached.

另一方面，像國際貨幣基金組織（IMF）這樣的機構對薩爾瓦多的加密政策持批評態度，官員們說，這是尚未達成13億美元金融協議的部分原因。

Earlier in 2022, the IMF said that El Salvador's crypto policies could endanger consumer protection and financial stability. The lender advised against using Bitcoin as legal tender and recommended that the government wind down the Chivo Bitcoin wallet.

國際貨幣基金組織在2022年初表示，薩爾瓦多的加密政策可能危害消費者的保護和金融穩定。貸方建議不要將比特幣用作法定貨幣，並建議政府將chivo比特幣錢包倒下。

During the recent talks for the financial deal, the IMF pushed for El Salvador to cancel Bitcoin’s legal tender status. Although President Nayib Bukele initially resisted, changes were later made.

在最近關於金融協議的會談中，國際貨幣基金組織推動薩爾瓦多取消比特幣的法定招標身份。儘管總統納伊布·布克利（Nayib Bukele）最初被抵抗，但後來進行了變化。

Now, the government and businesses are no longer legally obliged to carry out transactions in Bitcoin, even though these shifts in policy were never formally announced by the Salvadoran authorities. This signals a strategic withdrawal from the previous hardline stance. While Bitcoin technically remains legal tender, in practice, its status has been significantly diminished.

現在，即使薩爾瓦多當局從未正式宣布這些政策轉變，政府和企業不再法律上必須在比特幣中進行交易。這標誌著從以前的硬線立場中提取戰略性的。儘管從技術上講，比特幣仍然是法定招標，但實際上，其狀態已大大降低。

Despite the operational setbacks and criticism, President Bukele continues to be a vocal supporter of Bitcoin. He frequently announces new Bitcoin purchases by the government and recently claimed that El Salvador's national Bitcoin holdings, which now amount to over 6,100 BTC (worth more than $500 million), are “in the green.” However, there is limited transparency on the source of these funds, and critics suspect that President Bukele may still be using public money for Bitcoin purchases, which would be against the IMF’s recommendations.

儘管遭受了挫折和批評，但布克利總統仍然是比特幣的聲音支持者。他經常宣布政府購買新的比特幣購買，最近聲稱，薩爾瓦多的國家比特幣控股公司現在達到6,100 BTC（價值超過5億美元），為“綠色”。但是，這些資金來源的透明度有限，批評家懷疑布克勒總統可能仍在使用公共資金進行比特幣購買，這將違反國際貨幣基金組織的建議。

The government’s Bitcoin Office is also working on a number of other crypto-related initiatives, such as the Volcano Bonds. First announced in 2022, these are tokenized Bitcoin-backed bonds that are being developed in partnership with stablecoin issuer Tether. However, despite mentioning the project on several occasions, the government has yet to provide any further details on how the initiative will be launched.

政府的比特幣辦公室還正在製定許多其他與加密相關的計劃，例如火山債券。這些是2022年首次宣布的，是與Stablecoin發行人Tether合作開發的標記比特幣支持的債券。但是，儘管有幾次提及該項目，但政府尚未提供有關如何發起該計劃的進一步詳細信息。
