印度執法局（ED）任命Coindcx為扣押的“加密貨物”的保管人

在印度的數字資產行業，該國執法和經濟情報局第一次任命了數字資產交換

For the first time in India’s digital asset sector, the Enforcement Directorate (ED), the nation’s law enforcement and economic intelligence agency, has appointed a digital asset exchange to handle custodian services for seized ‘cryptocurrency.’

該國執法和經濟情報機構執法局（ED）首次在印度的數字資產部門中任命了數字資產交換，以處理被扣押的“加密貨幣”的託管服務。

ED has entrusted CoinDCX with the responsibility of managing asset forfeiture and providing a secure custody infrastructure for storing and supervising these assets. This partnership is expected to ensure a compliant and secure solution for handling seized assets, CoinDCX said in an emailed statement.

埃德（Ed）委託CoindCX負責管理資產沒收，並為存儲和監督這些資產提供安全的監護基礎設施。 Coindcx在電子郵件聲明中說，預計該合作夥伴關係有望確保合規且安全的解決方案。

CoinDCX, India’s first digital currency unicorn, in July listed the BSV token for trading on its platform, allowing users to have more ways to buy, sell, and trade BSV. With CoinDCX’s roughly 15 million registered users, the listing marks a significant expansion into the Indian market for BSV and demonstrates its potential and possibility in the region.

印度第一家數字貨幣獨角獸Coindcx在7月份列出了BSV代幣在其平台上進行交易，使用戶可以擁有更多的購買，出售和交易BSV的方法。憑藉CoindCX的大約1500萬註冊用戶，該清單標誌著BSV印度市場的大幅擴展，並證明了其在該地區的潛力和可能性。

“Deeply honoured to share that CoinDCX is assisting the Enforcement Directorate (ED) for custody management of seized assets,” said Sumit Gupta, Co-founder of CoinDCX.

Coindcx的聯合創始人Sumit Gupta表示：“非常榮幸地分享CoindCX正在協助執法局（ED）進行扣押資產的監護權管理。”

“CoinDCX will deploy a specialised team trained in advanced security protocols and will assist the ED to store seized assets in multi-signature and multi-party computation (MPC) wallets. Multi-signature wallets require multiple keys for withdrawals, while MPC wallets distribute a private key into multiple shards across devices,” Gupta explained.

“ CoindCX將部署一個專業的團隊，接受了高級安全協議培訓，並將幫助ED在多方簽名和多方計算（MPC）錢包中存儲查獲的資產。多簽名的錢包需要多個撤離鍵，而MPC錢包則將私鑰分配到跨設備的多個碎片中。” Gupta解釋說。

“Based on our 7+ years of operations in India, we will provide the best-in-class security, compliance solutions, and unparalleled expertise in digital asset management! This is our small attempt at contributing to nation-building and creating a safer ecosystem for digital assets,” Gupta added.

“根據我們在印度的7年以上的運營，我們將提供一流的安全性，合規性解決方案和無與倫比的數字資產管理專業知識！這是我們為國家建設和創造一個更安全的數字資產生態系統做出貢獻的小嘗試。” Gupta補充說。

ED has been taking strong measures to address and dismantle digital asset fraud across multiple cities in India. With the increasing rise of financial crimes in the digital asset sector, the agency has significantly ramped up its operations to investigate and target fraudulent activities. These efforts are part of a broader strategy to ensure that digital asset markets remain secure and that illegal schemes that exploit unsuspecting investors are swiftly identified and stopped. Through these crackdowns, ED aims to uphold financial integrity and safeguard public interest in the country’s rapidly evolving digital economy.

埃德（Ed）一直在採取強有力的措施來解決和拆除印度多個城市的數字資產欺詐。隨著數字資產行業金融犯罪的增加，該機構大大增加了其運營，以調查和針對欺詐活動。這些努力是一項更廣泛的戰略的一部分，以確保數字資產市場保持安全，並迅速確定並停止利用毫無戒心的投資者的非法計劃。通過這些鎮壓，ED旨在維護財務完整性並保護該國迅速發展的數字經濟的公眾利益。

The ‘crypto’ seizures

“加密”癲癇發作

In a parallel development, ED also conducted raids in Delhi, Jaipur, and Mumbai as part of an investigation into a digital asset fraud case. The case involved Chirag Tomar, a 31-year-old Indian sentenced to five years in the U.S. According to reports, a U.S. district judge in Charlotte, North Carolina, handed down the sentence in October.

在平行的發展中，埃德還在德里，齋浦爾和孟買進行了突襲，這是對數字資產欺詐案件的調查的一部分。該案涉及奇拉格·托馬爾（Chirag Tomar），這是一名31歲的印度人在美國五年徒刑，據報導，北卡羅來納州夏洛特的一名美國地方法院法官於10月份宣判了這一判決。

Following his sentencing in the U.S., ED initiated an investigation under the Foreign Exchange Management Act (FEMA). It estimated that cryptocurrency valued at ₹600 ($6.88) crore was converted through various local crypto exchanges and later transferred by the accused.

在他在美國宣判後，ED根據《外匯管理法》（FEMA）進行了調查。它估計，價值為600盧比（6.88億美元）的加密貨幣通過各種當地加密交易所轉換，後來由被告轉移。

India indifferent to digital assets

印度對數字資產無動於衷

India’s relationship with digital assets has gone hot and cold over the last few years. The federal government has treated digital assets with suspicion, so far as imposing one of the harshest taxation in 2022—a 30% flat tax on all digital currency income with no provision to offset losses and a 1% tax deducted at source (TDS) on all transactions above Rs 10,000 ($114). This may likely lead to a loss of about $1.2 trillion in trade volume on domestic exchanges over the years, a study from Esya Centre, an Indian policy think tank, claimed. As much as $3.85 billion may have already moved to overseas digital asset trading exchanges as traders look to evade punishing taxes in India.

在過去的幾年中，印度與數字資產的關係變得寒冷。聯邦政府對數字資產的懷疑進行了懷疑，就2022年的最嚴厲的稅收之一，對所有數字貨幣收入的30％持續稅，沒有任何補償損失的規定，並且對所有交易徵收1％的稅款（TDS），所有交易中的所有交易（TDS）超過10,000盧比（114美元）（$ 114）。印度政策智囊團Esya Center的一項研究說，這可能會導致多年來的國內交易所損失約1.2萬億美元的貿易量。隨著貿易商希望逃避印度的懲罰稅收，可能已經轉移到了海外數字資產交易交易所。

As a result, India’s digital asset exchanges are likely looking at a consolidation in 2025, with smaller exchanges either shutting down operations or merging with larger ones. Seychelles-headquartered OKX, the second-largest global digital asset exchange by trading volume, shut down its India operations in 2024, citing regulatory hurdles.

結果，印度的數字資產交易所很可能在2025年進行合併，較小的交易所可以關閉運營或與較大的交易所合併。塞舌爾總部的OKX是第二大全球數字資產交易所通過交易量的OKX，並於2024年關閉了印度業務，並引用了監管障礙。

While the world’s most populous nation is looking to regulate the digital assets space, Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman said last year that ‘cryptocurrencies’ cannot be a legal currency in India. Moreover, in December, India informed that there is no fixed timeline for introducing comprehensive regulatory guidelines for virtual digital assets (VDAs) in the country. As a result, the legal status of VDAs continues to be in limbo, with no specific legislation governing digital currency-based businesses in the country.

儘管世界上人口最多的國家正在尋求規範數字資產空間，但財政部長尼爾馬拉·西塔拉曼（Nirmala Sitharaman）去年表示，“加密貨幣”在印度不能成為合法貨幣。此外，在12月，印度告知，沒有固定的時間表可以在該國引入虛擬數字資產（VDA）的綜合監管指南。結果，VDA的法律地位繼續處於困境，沒有具體的立法來管理該國基於數字貨幣的業務。
