巴西可能正在為通過在其國家儲備中添加比特幣來做出大膽的舉動

盧拉總統政府的一位高級官員最近將該國的未來稱為“關鍵”，引發了嚴重的辯論。

Brazil might be one step closer to adding Bitcoin to its national reserves, thanks to a high-ranking official from President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva’s administration.

得益於總統路易斯·伊納西奧·盧拉·達·席爾瓦（LuizInácioLulada Silva）政府的高級官員，巴西可能更接近將比特幣添加到其國家儲量中。

The idea is crucial for the country’s future, the official said, sparking fresh debate.

這位官員說，這個想法對於該國的未來至關重要，引發了新的辯論。

What Happened: Pedro Giocondo Guerra, chief of staff to Vice President Geraldo Alckmin, made the remarks at a congressional event on Wednesday.

發生了什麼：副總裁杰拉爾多·阿爾克明（Geraldo Alckmin）的參謀長佩德羅·喬科多·瓜拉（Pedro Giocondo Guerra）在周三的國會活動上發表了講話。

He highlighted how Bitcoin could be a key addition to Brazil’s financial safety net, likening it to digital gold—a recognized store of value that might also facilitate faster cross-border money flows.

他強調了比特幣如何成為巴西財務安全網的關鍵補充，將其比作數字黃金，這是一種公認​​的價值存儲，也可能促進更快的跨境資金流動。

Giocondo Guerra’s comments came in support of a new bill that would create a national Bitcoin reserve.

Giocondo Guerra的評論支持了一項新法案，該法案將創建國家比特幣儲備。

The bill, which is being proposed by Deputy Eros Biondini, aims to allocate a portion, up to 5%, of Brazil’s foreign exchange reserves to Bitcoin.

該法案是由副Eros Biondini提出的，旨在將巴西外匯儲備的一部分分配給比特幣。

The Central Bank would manage the Bitcoin holdings, using blockchain analysis and artificial intelligence to monitor the investments.

中央銀行將使用區塊鏈分析和人工智能管理比特幣持有量來監控投資。

The bill lists several key reasons for investing in Bitcoin. It could help fortify the Brazilian economy against external shocks and diversify its financial portfolio.

該法案列出了投資比特幣的幾個關鍵原因。它可以幫助強化巴西經濟免受外部衝擊的影響，並使其金融投資組合多樣化。

Moreover, it would serve to augment the launch of Brazil’s own digital currency, DREX, and broaden the country’s financial safety net.

此外，它將增加巴西自己的數字貨幣，DREX的推出，並擴大該國的財務安全網。

Brazil has already made significant strides in the crypto sphere. It was the first nation in the Americas to approve spot Bitcoin ETFs, and trading volumes have soared in recent times.

巴西已經在加密球體中取得了長足的進步。這是美洲第一個批准比特幣ETF的國家，最近的交易量已經飆升。

Last year, Brazil went a step further by launching a Solana ETF, showcasing its openness to new technologies in the financial sector.

去年，巴西邁出了一步，推出了Solana ETF，展示了其對金融領域新技術的開放性。

If Biondini’s bill is passed, it would see Brazil join El Salvador—which famously adopted Bitcoin as legal tender—in making significant moves to integrate the cryptocurrency into national finances.

如果通過Biondini的法案獲得通過，它將看到巴西加入薩爾瓦多（El Salvador）（著名地採用比特幣）作為法定貨幣，以將加密貨幣納入國家財政上的重大舉措。

The bill faces an uphill battle before it reaches Lula’s desk for approval. It still needs to be approved by several congressional committees and both houses of Congress.

該法案在到達盧拉的辦公桌前批准之前面臨著一場艱苦的戰鬥。它仍然需要得到幾個國會委員會和國會的兩院批准。

Critics of the bill, which include members of the Brazilian Treasury, highlight the volatility of Bitcoin’s price and the potential cybersecurity risks. They maintain that such an investment would be a distraction from Brazil’s more pressing economic concerns.

該法案的批評者包括巴西財政部的成員，強調了比特幣價格的波動和潛在的網絡安全風險。他們堅持認為，這樣的投資將使巴西更加緊迫的經濟問題分散注意力。

Those in favor of the bill argue that investing in Bitcoin would help protect Brazil from inflation and lessen its dependence on the U.S. dollar, ultimately granting the country greater financial autonomy.

那些贊成該法案的人認為，投資比特幣將有助於保護巴西免受通貨膨脹的侵害，並減少對美元的依賴，最終授予該國更大的財務自治權。

The bill comes at a time when several countries are turning their attention to cryptocurrencies.

該法案是在幾個國家將注意力轉移到加密貨幣上的時候。

Earlier this week, the U.S. decided against selling seized Bitcoin, instead opting to retain it as a reserve asset. Meanwhile, Venezuela and Colombia are exploring ways to integrate cryptocurrencies into their respective national payment systems.

本週早些時候，美國決定不出售查獲的比特幣，而是選擇將其保留為儲備資產。同時，委內瑞拉和哥倫比亞正在探索將加密貨幣整合到各自的國家支付系統中的方法。

For Brazil, which already boasts one of the largest and most active retail crypto markets—with a 2023 survey by CoinsPulse revealing that 16% of Brazilians own crypto—this move could be a natural progression.

對於已經擁有最大，最活躍的零售加密貨幣市場之一的巴西來說，Coinspulse的2023年調查表明，這一舉動可能是自然的進步。

If Brazil does decide to invest in Bitcoin, it could have a significant impact on both the country’s economy and the crypto market.

如果巴西確實決定投資比特幣，它可能會對該國的經濟和加密貨幣市場產生重大影響。
