作為 1.4B 美元國際貨幣基金組織協議的一部分，薩爾瓦多縮減了比特幣實驗規模

作為協議的一部分，該國將讓商家自願接受比特幣，減少政府對比特幣相關項目的參與，並限制公共部門使用加密貨幣。

El Salvador has agreed to scale back its Bitcoin involvement and restrict public sector use of the cryptocurrency as part of a $1.4 billion deal with the International Monetary Fund (IMF).

作為與國際貨幣基金組織 (IMF) 達成的 14 億美元協議的一部分，薩爾瓦多同意縮減其對比特幣的參與，並限制公共部門使用加密貨幣。

The agreement, announced by the IMF on December 18, will see the country implement measures aimed at reducing its debt-to-gdp ratio and addressing the risks associated with El Salvador's Bitcoin experiment.

國際貨幣基金組織於 12 月 18 日宣布的協議將使該國實施旨在降低債務與 GDP 比率並解決與薩爾瓦多比特幣實驗相關的風險的措施。

As part of the deal, El Salvador will make Bitcoin acceptance by merchants voluntary, reduce government involvement in Bitcoin-related projects, and restrict public sector use of the cryptocurrency.

作為協議的一部分，薩爾瓦多將讓商家自願接受比特幣，減少政府對比特幣相關項目的參與，並限制公共部門使用加密貨幣。

The IMF has expressed concerns about the potential risks of El Salvador's Bitcoin project, including the speculative nature of cryptocurrencies, the lack of consumer protection, and the volatility of the Bitcoin market.

國際貨幣基金組織對薩爾瓦多比特幣計畫的潛在風險表示擔憂，包括加密貨幣的投機性質、缺乏消費者保護以及比特幣市場的波動性。

The country's adoption of Bitcoin as legal tender in June 2021 has been a subject of much debate, with some praising the move and others highlighting its potential drawbacks.

該國於 2021 年 6 月採用比特幣作為法定貨幣一直是一個備受爭議的話題，有些人讚揚此舉，有些人則強調其潛在的缺點。

El Salvador's government has purchased 5,968 Bitcoin since making it legal tender, and the cryptocurrency is now held by around 46% of the country's adult population, according to a recent study.

最近的一項研究顯示，自從比特幣成為法定貨幣以來，薩爾瓦多政府已購買了 5,968 個比特幣，目前該國約 46% 的成年人口持有這種加密貨幣。

However, surveys indicate that the majority of Salvadorans do not use Bitcoin for transactions. A study conducted in October found that 92% of Salvadorans do not use Bitcoin for transactions, an increase from the 88% reported in a similar survey in 2023.

然而，調查顯示，大多數薩爾瓦多人不使用比特幣進行交易。 10 月進行的一項研究發現，92% 的薩爾瓦多人不使用比特幣進行交易，這一比例高於 2023 年類似調查中報告的 88%。

The IMF agreement is seen as a culmination of four years of negotiations, with the IMF having previously urged El Salvador to abandon its Bitcoin plans.

國際貨幣基金組織的協議被視為四年談判的高潮，國際貨幣基金組織先前曾敦促薩爾瓦多放棄其比特幣計畫。

The agreement will still need to be approved by the IMF Executive Board, but it marks a significant shift in El Salvador's Bitcoin policy.

該協議仍需得到國際貨幣基金組織執行委員會的批准，但它標誌著薩爾瓦多比特幣政策的重大轉變。
