Mukesh Ambani 的 Reliance Jio 預計將推出使用以太坊 Layer-2 區塊鏈構建的「JioCoin」獎勵代幣

距離美國總統唐納德·川普(Donald J Trump) 推出其加密貨幣$TRUMP 不到一周，其價值正在飆升，印度最富有的實業家之一——信實工業公司(Reliance Industries) 董事長兼董事總經理穆克什·安巴尼(Mukesh Ambani) 預計將處於推出“JioCoin”的最佳位置。

NEW DELHI: A week after US President Donald J Trump launched his crypto token $TRUMP, which has been soaring in value, one of India’s wealthiest industrialists—Mukesh Ambani, MD and Chairman of Reliance Industries—was expected to be in the right position to launch “JioCoin”.

新德里：在美國總統唐納德·特朗普(Donald J Trump) 推出價值飆升的加密代幣$TRUMP 一周後，印度最富有的實業家之一、醫學博士兼信實工業公司(Reliance Industries) 董事長穆克什·安巴尼(Mukesh Ambani) 預計將處於合適的位置，推出“JioCoin”。

The Indian conglomerate’s web3 partner Polygon announced the launch of the token on social media.

這家印度企業集團的 web3 合作夥伴 Polygon 宣佈在社群媒體上推出該代幣。

However, so far, there has not been any official statement surrounding “JioCoin” or any crypto offering directly from Reliance Jio.

然而，到目前為止，還沒有任何關於「JioCoin」或直接來自 Reliance Jio 的任何加密產品的官方聲明。

Initial reports suggest that JioCoin is a reward token built using the Ethereum Layer-2 blockchain. JioCoin, as reports suggest, is not a cryptocurrency in the traditional sense. Instead, JioCoin resembles reward tokens/coins that are earned by users of Jio platforms.

初步報告表明，JioCoin 是一種使用以太坊第 2 層區塊鏈構建的獎勵代幣。據報道，JioCoin 並不是傳統意義上的加密貨幣。相反，JioCoin 類似於 Jio 平台用戶賺取的獎勵代幣/硬幣。

The news of JioCoin had been making waves on social media ever since Reliance-owned Jio Platforms Ltd announced a web3 collaboration agreement with blockchain services provider Polygon Labs last week. Polygon, in its announcement, introduced the “use case” where customers can earn JioCoins by browsing through Reliance Jio’s native “JioBrowser”, terming it as “incentivizing users for surfing the internet”.

自從 Reliance 旗下的 Jio Platforms Ltd 上週宣布與區塊鏈服務提供商 Polygon Labs 達成 web3 合作協議以來，JioCoin 的消息一直在社群媒體上引起轟動。 Polygon 在其公告中介紹了“用例”，客戶可以透過瀏覽 Reliance Jio 的原生“JioBrowser”來賺取 JioCoins，並將其稱為“激勵用戶上網”。

This potential move also marks the conglomerate’s entry into the decentralised digital token/currency space, one that has been marred with regulatory hurdles and controversy in India.

這項潛在舉措也標誌著該集團進入去中心化數位代幣/貨幣領域，該領域在印度因監管障礙和爭議而受到損害。

Highlighting the Indian users’ preference for offshore crypto platforms, a study by Delhi-based technology policy think tank, Esya Centre, last month stated that Indians use more offshore platforms to deal with cryptos, especially to avoid the comparably high taxes levied on blockchain tokens when compared to other securities. From January to October 2024, Indian activity on offshore platforms shot up 77 per cent as local users circumvented restrictions with private networks (VPNs), mirror platforms or servers, with some even migrating completely to non-compliant exchanges.

總部位於德里的技術政策智庫Esya Centre 上個月的一項研究表明，印度用戶更多地使用離岸平台來處理加密貨幣，特別是為了避免對區塊鏈代幣徵收相對較高的稅收，突顯了印度用戶對離岸加密平台的偏好。從2024 年1 月到10 月，印度離岸平台上的活動激增77%，因為本地用戶規避了專用網路(VPN)、鏡像平台或伺服器的限制，有些甚至完全遷移到不合規的交易所。

The study also argued that 82 per cent of Indian users would return to trading through domestic or India-compliant platforms if the TDS (tax deducted at source) is cut to 0.01 per cent—this is the current tax levied on securities and commodities.

該研究還認為，如果 TDS（源頭扣除稅款）削減至 0.01%（這是目前對證券和大宗商品徵收的稅），82% 的印度用戶將返回透過國內或印度合規平台進行交易。

In contrast, not only does the centre levy 1 per cent TDS on the transfer of crypto assets from July 2022 if the transactions exceed Rs 50,000 (or even Rs 10,000 in some cases) under Section 194S, it also slaps a 30 per cent (plus 4 per cent cess) tax on gains made from trading cryptocurrencies under Section 115BBH of the Income Tax Act.

相較之下，根據第194S 條，從2022 年7 月起，如果交易金額超過50,000 盧比（甚至在某些情況下甚至是10,000 盧比），該中心不僅對加密資產轉讓徵收1% 的TDS，還徵收30%（加上根據《所得稅法》第 115BBH 條，對加密貨幣交易所得收益徵收 4% 的稅。

Earlier last week, in a joint announcement, Jio Platforms and Polygon Protocols-owned Polygon Labs announced a strategic partnership. This deal included adding Web3 capabilities to certain existing applications and services owned and operated by Jio Platforms. Jio Platforms CEO Kiran Thomas then commented on how excited they were to “explore the boundless possibilities of Web3 and bring unparalleled digital experiences” to users.

上週早些時候，Jio Platforms 和 Polygon Protocols 旗下的 Polygon Labs 在聯合聲明中宣佈建立戰略合作夥伴關係。該交易包括向 Jio Platforms 擁有和營運的某些現有應用程式和服務添加 Web3 功能。 Jio Platforms 執行長 Kiran Thomas 隨後表示，他們對「探索 Web3 的無限可能性並為用戶帶來無與倫比的數位體驗」感到非常興奮。

Sandeep Nailwal, founder of Polygon, termed the move “a significant step forward for web3 adoption in India”.

Polygon 創辦人 Sandeep Nailwal 稱此舉「是印度採用 web3 的重要一步」。

Polygon Labs is known for its web3 technology and blockchain expertise in the country.

Polygon Labs 以其 web3 技術和區塊鏈專業知識而聞名於該國。
