Coinbase註冊印度的金融情報部門，提供加密貨幣交易

總部位於美國的加密貨幣交易所Coinbase已向印度金融情報部門（FIU-IND）註冊，以提供全國的加密貨幣交易服務

Coinbase has registered with the Financial Intelligence Unit – India (FIU-IND) to offer cryptocurrency trading services in the nation, according to a report by Reuters.

路透社的一份報告顯示，Coinbase已向印度金融情報部門（FIU-IND）註冊，以提供全國的加密貨幣交易服務。

The company plans to introduce its initial retail services later in 2025, followed by further investments and products, although no well-defined timeline was provided.

該公司計劃在2025年晚些時候引入其初始零售服務，然後再進行進一步的投資和產品，儘管沒有提供明確定義的時間表。

“India is one of the most exciting markets today, and we are proud to deepen our investment here while staying fully compliant with local regulations,” said John O’Loghlen, the Asia Pacific Managing Director for Coinbase.

“印度是當今最令人興奮的市場之一，我們為在這裡完全遵守當地法規的同時加深我們的投資而感到自豪，” Coinbase的亞太董事總經理約翰·奧洛格倫（John O'Loghlen）說。

The cryptocurrency company’s foray into India comes at a time when interest in the virtual digital asset is cresting in the country, with many young Indians venturing into the crypto domain to supplement their regular income sources.

加密貨幣公司涉足印度的企業是在該國對虛擬數字資產的興趣登上興趣的時候，許多年輕的印度人冒險進入加密貨幣領域，以補充其常規收入來源。

Coinbase joins cryptocurrency exchanges such as CoinDCX, Binance, and KuCoin, which are already operating in India.

Coinbase加入了已經在印度運行的Coindcx，Binance和Kucoin等加密貨幣交易所。

Cryptocurrency exchanges in the country must first register with the FIU-IND as reporting entities, in addition to complying with anti-money laundering regulations.

該國的加密貨幣交易所外，除了遵守反洗錢法規外，還必須首先向FIU-IND作為報告實體註冊。

Recently, the crypto platform Bybit had to pay ₹9.3 crore for failing to adhere to these regulations, especially given the recent large-scale crypto heist from the company.

最近，加密貨幣平台BYBIT不得不遵守這些法規，不得不支付9.3億盧比，特別是考慮到該公司最近的大規模加密搶劫。

Moreover, Binance resumed its India operations in August last year after registering with the FIU-IND, following a seven-month period of inactivity due to regulatory violations.

此外，在由於違法行為造成的七個月不活動之後，Binance於去年8月在FIU-IND註冊後恢復了印度業務。

This move follows the company’s reporting to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) for its role in facilitating the theft of crypto assets from a hot wallet.

此舉是在公司向美國證券交易委員會（SEC）（SEC）的報告中報告其在促進熱錢包盜竊加密資產方面作用的作用。

The company’s entry into the Indian crypto market comes at a very crucial juncture for the digital asset in the country, as Indian authorities are reviewing their stance on cryptocurrency in light of policy shifts on a global scale.

該公司進入印度加密市場的進入是該國數字資產的一個非常關鍵的關頭，因為印度當局正在根據全球規模的政策變化來審查其對加密貨幣的立場。

Last month, the Department of Economic Affairs (DEA) secretary Ajay Seth revealed that India would be planning to revisit its cryptocurrency regulatory framework, considering the ongoing changes in the global scenario.

上個月，經濟事務部（DEA）秘書阿賈伊·塞斯（Ajay Seth）透露，考慮到全球情況的持續變化，印度將計劃重新審視其加密貨幣監管框架。

Highlighting the pressing need for swift action, Seth pointed out that India's stance on cryptocurrencies would be reassessed to align with the evolving landscape in the domain of virtual assets.

塞思強調了對迅速行動的迫切需求，指出印度對加密貨幣的立場將被重新評估，以與虛擬資產領域中不斷發展的景觀保持一致。

Similarly, the current Reserve Bank of India (RBI) Governor, Sanjay Malhotra , stated last month that the Indian government’s hardline stance on cryptocurrency could potentially soften.

同樣，現任印度儲備銀行（RBI）州長Sanjay Malhotra上個月表示，印度政府對加密貨幣的強硬立場可能會減輕。

During an interview with the Economic Times, Malhotra hinted at a possible shift in the government's attitude towards cryptocurrencies.

在接受《經濟時報》採訪時，馬爾霍特拉暗示政府對加密貨幣的態度可能發生轉變。

Another important point to note is that this is not Coinbase’s first foray into the Indian cryptocurrency landscape.

要注意的另一個重要點是，這不是Coinbase對印度加密貨幣景觀的首次嘗試。

The company first ventured into India in 2022 but had to suspend its services within three days as the National Payments Corporation of India (NPCI), which regulates the Unified Payments Interface (UPI), refused to recognise its operations.

該公司於2022年首次冒險進入印度，但不得不在三天內暫停其服務，因為印度國家付款公司（NPCI）調節了統一的付款接口（UPI）（UPI），拒絕承認其業務。

At that time, Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong stated that the company shut down its UPI transactions due to informal pressure from the RBI.

當時，Coinbase首席執行官Brian Armstrong表示，由於印度儲備銀行的非正式壓力，該公司關閉了其UPI交易。
