埃爾·薩爾瓦多（El Salvador）以IMF協議為由刪除比特幣的法定招標身份

埃爾·薩爾瓦多（El Salvador）的立法議會已批准其比特幣法的重大變更，從而大大減少了國家參與加密貨幣交易的參與。

El Salvador’s Legislative Assembly has approved major amendments to its Bitcoin Law, reducing the state’s involvement in cryptocurrency transactions. The changes eliminate Bitcoin’s legal tender status, remove state-backed infrastructure, and make BTC acceptance optional for businesses.

埃爾·薩爾瓦多（El Salvador）的立法議會已批准對其比特幣法的重大修正案，從而減少了該州參與加密貨幣交易。這些變化消除了比特幣的法定招標狀態，刪除了國家支持的基礎設施，並使BTC接受了企業的可選。

With 55 votes in favor, lawmakers repealed Article 7, which mandated businesses to accept Bitcoin (BTC) as payment. The reforms also eliminate state-run Bitcoin infrastructure, including the government-backed Chivo Wallet, and remove provisions allowing tax payments in BTC.

議員們以55票贊成，廢除了第7條，該第7條要求企業接受比特幣（BTC）作為付款。這些改革還消除了國營的比特幣基礎設施，包括政府支持的Chivo錢包，並取消了允許BTC納稅的規定。

“With 55 votes in favor, we reform the Bitcoin Law to improve its applicability,”

“有55票贊成，我們改革比特幣法以提高其適用性。”

the Legislative Assembly announced.

立法議會宣布。

The government’s decision aligns with a $1.4 billion loan agreement with the International Monetary Fund (IMF). The new policy requires government debt obligations to be settled in the original contracted currency, reducing Bitcoin’s role in national financial operations.

政府的決定與國際貨幣基金組織（IMF）的14億美元貸款協議保持一致。新政策要求政府債務義務以原始合同貨幣解決，從而減少了比特幣在國家金融業務中的作用。

The IMF-backed loan agreement influenced El Salvador’s decision to scale back Bitcoin-related mandates. In December 2023, the government agreed to limit its involvement in Bitcoin transactions as part of its fiscal restructuring plan.

IMF支持的貸款協議影響了El Salvador的決定縮放與比特幣相關的任務。 2023年12月，政府同意將其參與比特幣交易，作為其財政重組計劃的一部分。

A recent survey highlighted the declining use of Bitcoin in the country. Reports showed that 92% of Salvadorans did not use Bitcoin for transactions in 2024, marking its lowest adoption rate since 2021.

最近的一項調查強調了該國使用比特幣的使用下降。報告顯示，92％的薩爾瓦多人在2024年沒有使用比特幣進行交易，這標誌著其自2021年以來的最低採用率。

“Various studies by reputable pollsters in El Salvador have indicated that 92% of the population did not use Bitcoin in 2024,”

“薩爾瓦多（El Salvador）的著名民意測驗者的各種研究表明，92％的人口在2024年不使用比特幣，”

the report stated.

報告說。

Despite reducing state-backed Bitcoin infrastructure, El Salvador continues accumulating Bitcoin. A week before passing the reforms, the government expanded its BTC reserves. The country is also exploring opportunities to acquire discounted BTC from the U.S. government’s planned $6.7 billion Bitcoin sale.

儘管減少了國家支持的比特幣基礎設施，但El Salvador仍在累積比特幣。通過改革前一周，政府擴大了其BTC儲備。該國還正在探索從美國政府計劃的67億比特幣銷售中獲得折扣BTC的機會。

While the state is reducing its role in Bitcoin transactions, it continues to hold and acquire BTC. The government has leveraged Bitcoin price surges to manage debt repayments and strengthen fiscal stability.

儘管該州正在減少其在比特幣交易中的作用，但它繼續保持和獲取BTC。政府利用比特幣價格飆升來管理還款並加強財政穩定。

In late 2024, El Salvador used BTC gains to repurchase national debt, improving its financial position. President Nayib Bukele addressed this in a statement:

2024年下半年，埃爾·薩爾瓦多（El Salvador）利用BTC收益來回購國債，改善了其財務狀況。總統納伊布·布克勒（Nayib Bukele）在一份聲明中解決了這一點：

“We promised to eliminate the Political Debt. People complained to us that we had not yet fulfilled our promise. It took us a while, but we listened to the people, and today we are delivering. No more financing of political parties with the people’s money,”

“我們答應消除政治債務。人們向我們抱怨我們尚未履行我們的諾言。我們花了一段時間，但是我們聽了人們，今天我們正在送達。不再用人民的錢為政黨提供資金，”

Despite reduced state involvement, crypto firms are still investing in El Salvador. Tether, the stablecoin issuer, recently relocated to the country after securing a major license. CEO Paolo Ardoino shared his perspective on the company’s decision:

儘管州參與減少，但加密公司仍在對薩爾瓦多進行投資。 Stablecoin發行人Tether在獲得主要許可後，最近搬到了該國。首席執行官Paolo Ardoino分享了他對公司決定的看法：
