Shashi Tharoor 宣布比特幣交易所交易基金獲得選舉提名

New Delhi, India - Shashi Tharoor, a former Minister of State for Human Resource Development and External Affairs, and a contender for the Thiruvananthapuram Lok Sabha seat in the upcoming 2024 general election, has disclosed ownership of a Bitcoin exchange-traded fund (ETF) in his nomination papers.

印度新德里 - 前人力資源發展和對外事務國務部長、即將到來的 2024 年大選特里凡得瑯人民院席位的競爭者 Shashi Tharoor 披露了比特幣交易所交易基金 (ETF) 的所有權在他的提名文件中。

According to the affidavit filed with the Election Commission of India, Tharoor, a three-term Member of Parliament, holds a Bitcoin ETF valued at Rs 5,11,314 (approximately $63,000).

根據向印度選舉委員會提交的宣誓書，三屆國會議員 Tharoor 持有價值 5,11,314 盧比（約 63,000 美元）的比特幣 ETF。

Bitcoin ETFs are investment vehicles that track the price of Bitcoin, allowing investors to indirectly participate in the cryptocurrency market without owning the digital currency directly. These ETFs trade on traditional stock exchanges, providing broader access and potentially higher liquidity compared to buying Bitcoin directly from crypto exchanges.

比特幣ETF是追蹤比特幣價格的投資工具，讓投資者在不直接擁有數位貨幣的情況下間接參與加密貨幣市場。與直接從加密貨幣交易所購買比特幣相比，這些 ETF 在傳統證券交易所進行交易，提供更廣泛的存取和潛在更高的流動性。

In addition to the Bitcoin ETF, Tharoor's financial portfolio includes investments in corporate bonds (Rs 3.46 crore), equities (Rs 9.33 crore), certificates of deposit (Rs 91.7 lakhs), options (Rs 19.98 lakhs), US Treasury Securities (Rs 2 crore), and a loan of Rs 1.1 crore to Estee Capital LLC, USA. He also holds Rs 36,000 in cash and has stakes in various mutual funds and other investment schemes.

除了比特幣ETF 之外，Tharoor 的金融投資組合還包括公司債（34.6 億盧比）、股票（93.3 億盧比）、存款證（917 萬盧比）、選擇權（199.8 萬盧比）、美國國債（2 盧比）的投資。 ），並向美國 Estee Capital LLC 提供 11 千萬盧比貸款。他還持有 36,000 盧比現金，並持有各種共同基金和其他投資計劃的股份。

The total value of Tharoor's movable assets, as declared in the affidavit, stands at Rs 49.3 crore (approximately $6 million). He also owns immovable property worth Rs 6.75 crore (approximately $850,000).

宣誓書中宣稱，塔魯爾的動產總價值為 4.93 億盧比（約 600 萬美元）。他還擁有價值 67.5 億盧比（約 85 萬美元）的不動產。

Tharoor's disclosure of a Bitcoin ETF highlights the growing acceptance of cryptocurrencies and blockchain technology among mainstream investors. While Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies remain highly volatile assets, ETFs provide a more regulated and accessible way for investors to gain exposure to this emerging asset class.

Tharoor 揭露的比特幣 ETF 凸顯了主流投資者對加密貨幣和區塊鏈技術的接受度不斷提高。雖然比特幣和其他加密貨幣仍然是高度波動的資產，但 ETF 為投資者提供了一種更受監管、更容易獲得的方式來投資這個新興資產類別。

It is worth noting that investing in cryptocurrencies carries significant risks, including price fluctuations, regulatory uncertainty, and security concerns. Prospective investors are advised to conduct thorough research, understand the potential risks, and consult with financial advisors before making any investment decisions.

值得注意的是，投資加密貨幣存在重大風險，包括價格波動、監管不確定性和安全性問題。建議潛在投資者在做出任何投資決定之前進行徹底研究，以了解潛在風險，並諮詢財務顧問。
