印度財政部表示，無論比特幣漲勢如何，印度都將遵守全球加密貨幣法規

儘管本月稍早美國總統大選後比特幣價格突然上漲，但聯合財政部表示該中心將遵守全球加密貨幣法規

The recent US presidential elections have had a palpable impact on the cryptocurrency market. While prices have surged to new highs, with Bitcoin reaching record levels, the Union Finance Ministry has maintained that India will prioritize its own economic policies and adhere to global regulations on cryptocurrencies, irrespective of the current surge or hype.

最近的美國總統選舉對加密貨幣市場產生了明顯的影響。儘管價格飆升至新高，比特幣達到創紀錄水平，但印度財政部堅稱，無論當前的飆升或炒作如何，印度都將優先考慮自己的經濟政策，並遵守全球對加密貨幣的監管。

According to a source within the Finance Ministry, India will adhere to its own policies and not be influenced by other countries' actions. The official also mentioned that the Department of Economic Affairs is finalizing a paper on cryptocurrency, which will be released soon.

印度財政部內部人士表示，印度將堅持自己的政策，不會受到其他國家行動的影響。該官員也提到，經濟部正在敲定一份有關加密貨幣的文件，很快就會發布。

On Wednesday, Bitcoin touched a new record high, closing at $94,078. The surge can be attributed to several key developments in the crypto and financial sectors.

週三，比特幣觸及新紀錄高點，收在 94,078 美元。這一激增可歸因於加密貨幣和金融領域的幾個關鍵發展。

Reports indicate that Donald Trump's media company is exploring the acquisition of crypto trading firm Bakkt, and BlackRock's iShares Bitcoin Trust has introduced options trading. The rise above $94,000 highlights Bitcoin's growing status as an institutional asset.

有報導稱，唐納德·川普的媒體公司正在探索收購加密貨幣交易公司 Bakkt，貝萊德旗下的 iShares Bitcoin Trust 已推出選擇權交易。比特幣價格升至 94,000 美元以上，凸顯了比特幣作為機構資產的地位日益增強。

A Trump administration that is seen as crypto-friendly and speculation of Microsoft treasury incorporating Bitcoin, following Michael Saylor's (MicroStrategy) suggestion, have also contributed to the price surge.

被視為對加密貨幣友好的川普政府以及微軟財政部按照 Michael Saylor (MicroStrategy) 的建議納入比特幣的猜測也促成了價格飆升。

The market's response to these developments has also impacted altcoins, leading to a brief rally followed by a correction. However, analysts remain positive, anticipating continued growth driven by institutional investors.

市場對這些事態發展的反應也影響了山寨幣，導致短暫上漲，隨後出現調整。然而，分析師仍持樂觀態度，預計機構投資者將繼續推動成長。

The cryptocurrency market has largely reacted positively to Donald Trump's presidency, with anticipation that his administration will be supportive of cryptocurrencies. This optimism stems from the belief that a more crypto-friendly stance could lead to the removal of regulatory barriers that have impeded the market's growth.

加密貨幣市場在很大程度上對唐納德·川普的總統任期做出了積極反應，預計他的政府將支持加密貨幣。這種樂觀情緒源自於這樣的信念：對加密貨幣更友善的立場可能會消除阻礙市場成長的監管障礙。

In India, however, the landscape presents a different set of challenges. Despite witnessing a gradual increase in the number of cryptocurrency enthusiasts and investors in recent years, there continues to be a lack of regulatory clarity in the country.

然而，在印度，情況卻帶來了一系列不同的挑戰。儘管近年來加密貨幣愛好者和投資者的數量逐漸增加，但該國仍缺乏明確的監管。

Taxation of cryptocurrency

加密貨幣課稅

The FY2022-23 Budget introduced a flat tax rate of 30% on gains from Virtual Digital Assets (VDAs) or crypto assets, irrespective of the individual's income tax slab rate. Additionally, a 1% tax deducted at source (TDS) was imposed on all transfers involving such assets.
