加密產業敦促印度儲備銀行擴大監管沙箱以促進創新

作為監管沙箱的一部分，遊說團體正在請求印度儲備銀行（RBI）允許測試加密相關產品。擬議的印度央行框架目前不包括加密貨幣、交易所和首次代幣發行，但將包括針對有限數量消費者的區塊鏈技術測試。

RBI Urged to Include Crypto in Regulatory Sandbox for Innovation

印度央行敦促將加密貨幣納入監管沙箱以促進創新

Mumbai, India - Industry groups are pressing the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) to broaden its proposed regulatory sandbox to allow testing of crypto-related products. The RBI's initial framework, unveiled in April, excludes cryptocurrencies, exchanges, and initial coin offerings (ICOs) from the sandbox, which aims to foster innovation in blockchain technology.

印度孟買 - 行業團體正在敦促印度儲備銀行（RBI）擴大其擬議的監管沙箱，以允許測試加密相關產品。印度央行於 4 月公佈的初始框架將加密貨幣、交易所和首次代幣發行 (ICO) 排除在沙盒之外，旨在促進區塊鏈技術的創新。

Nasscom's Request for Inclusion

Nasscom 的納入請求

The National Association of Software and Services Companies (Nasscom), India's leading IT industry association, has urged the RBI to reconsider its stance. Nasscom argues that cryptocurrencies are an integral part of blockchain technology, and their exclusion hinders the sandbox's effectiveness.

印度領先的 IT 行業協會全國軟體和服務公司協會 (Nasscom) 敦促印度央行重新考慮其立場。 Nasscom 認為，加密貨幣是區塊鏈技術不可或缺的一部分，將其排除在外會阻礙沙箱的有效性。

"Smart contracts and other approved blockchain technology cannot be tested under the sandbox without cryptocoins and tokens," Nasscom stated.

Nasscom 表示：“如果沒有加密貨幣和代幣，智能合約和其他經批准的區塊鏈技術就無法在沙箱下進行測試。”

Payments Council Warns of Innovation Hinderance

支付委員會警告創新障礙

The Payments Council of India has also cautioned that the sandbox's limited scope could stifle innovation in the country. The council believes that excluding crypto from the sandbox will make it challenging to develop cutting-edge products.

印度支付委員會還警告稱，沙盒的有限範圍可能會扼殺該國的創新。該委員會認為，將加密貨幣排除在沙箱之外將使開發尖端產品變得困難。

International Comparisons

國際比較

Regulatory sandboxes are becoming increasingly popular worldwide, with the United Kingdom's Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) being a notable example. India's strict approach to crypto testing has raised concerns among startups, who fear that innovative products will not be able to be incubated within their home country, even if they are approved in international markets.

監理沙箱在全球越來越受歡迎，英國金融行為監理局（FCA）就是一個著名的例子。印度對加密貨幣測試的嚴格態度引起了新創企業的擔憂，他們擔心創新產品即使在國際市場獲得批准，也無法在本國孵化。

India's Uncertain Crypto Landscape

印度不確定的加密貨幣格局

India's relationship with cryptocurrencies has been tumultuous. In April, reports emerged that the government was considering a complete ban on digital currencies. Earlier this month, the Indian crypto exchange Coinome announced the suspension of its operations due to regulatory challenges.

印度與加密貨幣的關係一直很混亂。四月份，有通報政府正在考慮全面禁止數位貨幣。本月早些時候，印度加密貨幣交易所 Coinome 宣布因監管挑戰而暫停營運。

Call for a Balanced Approach

呼籲採取平衡的方法

Industry experts believe that the RBI should strike a balance between protecting investors and fostering innovation. By including crypto-related products in the regulatory sandbox, the RBI can gain valuable insights into the risks and benefits of these technologies while promoting the development of a robust and responsible crypto ecosystem in India.

產業專家認為，印度央行應在保護投資者和促進創新之間取得平衡。透過將加密相關產品納入監管沙箱，印度儲備銀行可以深入了解這些技術的風險和效益，同時促進印度發展強大且負責任的加密生態系統。
