國際貨幣基金組織（國際貨幣基金）已更新了其付款標準的平衡，以說明數字資產的重要性。

在全球經濟報告中，比特幣（BTC）這樣的加密貨幣首次正式認可。

Recently, the International Monetary Fund (IMF) has updated its balance of payments standards to integrate the increasing importance of digital assets. For the first time, cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin (BTC) are now officially included in the global economic reports.

最近，國際貨幣基金組織（IMF）更新了其付款標準的平衡，以整合數字資產的重要性。現在，全球經濟報告中首次正式納入了比特幣（BTC）等加密貨幣。

As reported by Benzinga, the apex financial institution has updated the Balance of Payments Manual (BPM7), which provides clear guidelines on how digital assets should be monitored in global financial statistics. This marks a significant step for cryptocurrencies as they become more recognized and integrated into the global financial system.

據Benzinga報導，Apex金融機構已更新了付款手冊（BPM7）的餘額，該機構提供了有關如何在全球財務統計中監控數字資產的明確指南。這標誌著加密貨幣的重要一步，因為它們變得更加認可並融入了全球金融體系。

The update classifies cryptocurrencies as non-productive capital assets, similar to precious metals like gold, and stablecoins as financial instruments. Moreover, it adjusts the methods for recording cross-border cryptocurrency transactions, staking, and mining activities. Mining and staking are now categorized as services in a country's computer services exports/imports.

該更新將加密貨幣歸類為非生產性資本資產，類似於黃金等貴金屬和穩定幣作為金融工具。此外，它調整了記錄跨境加密貨幣交易，訂立和採礦活動的方法。現在，採礦和積分被歸類為一個國家的計算機服務出口/進口中的服務。

This move is part of the IMF's ongoing effort to adapt its economic standards to the rapidly evolving technological landscape. The updated manual will aid in the better tracking and regulation of digital assets in the future.

這一舉動是國際貨幣基金組織正在進行的努力，以使其經濟標準適應迅速發展的技術格局。更新的手冊將有助於將來更好地跟踪和調節數字資產。

Analyst Claims IMF Called Bitcoin ‘Digital Gold’

分析師聲稱IMF稱為比特幣為“數字黃金”

An analyst, known on X as Ashcrypto, shared a post claiming that the IMF called Bitcoin "digital gold." This post quickly gained attention and sparked discussion within the crypto community.

一位在X上稱為Ashcrypto的分析師分享了一篇文章，聲稱IMF稱為比特幣“數字黃金”。這篇文章迅速引起了人們的關注，並引發了加密社區中的討論。

However, Dennis Porter, a well-known voice in the crypto space, expressed skepticism towards this interpretation and asked if anyone could point out exactly where the IMF made such a statement.

但是，加密貨幣空間中著名的聲音丹尼斯·波特（Dennis Porter）對這種解釋表示懷疑，並問是否有人可以準確地指出IMF在哪裡發表的陳述。

After examining the IMF's statement, Porter clarified the source of the confusion. The IMF actually described Bitcoin as "a new digital asset designed to be used as a means of payment or act as a store of value."

在檢查了國際貨幣基金組織的陳述後，波特闡明了混亂的根源。 IMF實際上將比特幣描述為“一種新的數字資產，旨在用作付款手段或用作價值存儲”。

He highlighted that the phrase "designed to be" is crucial here and it doesn't necessarily mean that the IMF is officially endorsing Bitcoin as "digital gold" or guaranteeing its stability or value like gold. Rather, it's about recognizing Bitcoin's potential and the purpose for which it was created.

他強調說，“設計為”的短語在這里至關重要，這並不一定意味著國際貨幣基金組織正式認可比特幣為“數字黃金”，或者保證其穩定性或像黃金一樣的穩定性或價值。相反，這是關於認識比特幣的潛力以及創造的目的。

The "store of value" idea for Bitcoin is often debated due to its high volatility. Unlike gold, which has a long history of stability and serves as a store of value, Bitcoin's value can fluctuate significantly over short periods.

比特幣的“價值存儲”想法由於其高波動性而經常被辯論。與黃金具有悠久的穩定歷史並充當價值存儲不同，比特幣的價值在短時間內可能會顯著波動。

This integration of cryptocurrencies into the IMF's economic framework is a significant step towards the official recognition and inclusion of digital assets in the global financial system. It reflects the increasing role that cryptocurrencies are playing in the global economy and the need for common standards in their reporting and statistical tracking. As the crypto industry continues to evolve, further updates and adaptations from the IMF can be expected to ensure efficient monitoring and integration of emerging financial technologies.

將加密貨幣整合到國際貨幣基金組織的經濟框架中是朝著全球金融體系中官方認可和納入數字資產的重要一步。它反映了加密貨幣在全球經濟中發揮的作用，以及在其報告和統計跟踪中對共同標準的需求。隨著加密行業的不斷發展，可以期望IMF的進一步更新和改編，以確保對新興金融技術的有效監控和集成。
