俄羅斯使用比特幣進行國際支付以繞過西方制裁

俄羅斯財政部長安東·西盧阿諾夫證實，比特幣和其他加密貨幣正在國際貿易中使用。

Russia is increasingly using Bitcoin for international trade in a bid to counteract the impact of Western sanctions, according to Finance Minister Anton Siluanov, reports Reuters.

根據路透社報道，俄羅斯財政部長安東·西盧阿諾夫表示，俄羅斯越來越多地使用比特幣進行國際貿易，以抵消西方制裁的影響。

Siluanov stated that Russian companies are already using Bitcoin to settle payments with China, India and Turkey, adding that he expects the use of cryptocurrencies in international trade to increase significantly by 2025.

Siluanov 表示，俄羅斯公司已經在使用比特幣與中國、印度和土耳其進行支付結算，並補充說，他預計到 2025 年，國際貿易中加密貨幣的使用將大幅增加。

His comments come after President Vladimir Putin recently highlighted the resilience of Bitcoin, saying that no government can fully ban the digital currency.

在他發表上述言論之前，俄羅斯總統普丁(Vladimir Putin)最近強調了比特幣的彈性，並表示沒有政府可以完全禁止這種數位貨幣。

Russia has been ramping up efforts to integrate cryptocurrencies into its economy and financial system amid the ongoing sanctions, which have largely cut off the country from the global financial networks such as SWIFT.

在持續的製裁中，俄羅斯一直在加強將加密貨幣納入其經濟和金融體系，這些制裁在很大程度上切斷了該國與 SWIFT 等全球金融網絡的聯繫。

In a bid to facilitate international transactions, Russia has been turning to Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies as alternatives, enabling Russian businesses to continue trading with countries that are not heavily influenced by the West, particularly in Asia.

為了促進國際交易，俄羅斯一直在轉向比特幣和其他加密貨幣作為替代品，使俄羅斯企業能夠繼續與不受西方影響嚴重的國家，特別是亞洲國家進行貿易。

Moreover, new rules for cryptocurrency mining in Russia have been introduced by the authorities, including a ban on mining in certain regions that will come into effect in January 2025 and last until 2031.

此外，俄羅斯當局還推出了針對加密貨幣挖礦的新規則，包括禁止在某些地區進行挖礦，該禁令將於 2025 年 1 月生效，一直持續到 2031 年。

This six-year ban on cryptocurrency mining is part of Russia’s efforts to control energy consumption and ensure environmental conservation.

這項為期六年的加密貨幣採礦禁令是俄羅斯控制能源消耗和確保環境保護努力的一部分。

The Russian government is also working to expand the use of cryptocurrencies in global transactions. Officials are pushing for a broader adoption of digital currencies to reduce reliance on traditional financial systems that are largely dominated by the West.

俄羅斯政府也致力於擴大加密貨幣在全球交易中的使用。官員們正在推動更廣泛地採用數位貨幣，以減少對主要由西方主導的傳統金融體系的依賴。

This includes efforts to create a more favorable regulatory environment for cryptocurrency related transactions, as stipulated in the bill “On Digital Currency.”

這包括按照「數位貨幣」法案的規定，努力為加密貨幣相關交易創造更有利的監管環境。

The comments by the Finance Minister reflect Russia’s belief in the potential of digital currencies to drive economic resilience.

財政部長的言論反映了俄羅斯對數位貨幣推動經濟彈性潛力的信念。

The government anticipates that Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies will play a critical role in charting Russia’s international trade strategy, as the country pivots to find sustainable financial alternatives to ensure continued trade with its global partners.

政府預計，比特幣和其他加密貨幣將在製定俄羅斯國際貿易戰略中發揮關鍵作用，因為該國正在尋求可持續的金融替代方案，以確保與全球合作夥伴的持續貿易。
