巴西可能正在为通过在其国家储备中添加比特币来做出大胆的举动

卢拉总统政府的一位高级官员最近将该国的未来称为“关键”，引发了严重的辩论。

Brazil might be one step closer to adding Bitcoin to its national reserves, thanks to a high-ranking official from President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva’s administration.

得益于总统路易斯·伊纳西奥·卢拉·达·席尔瓦（LuizInácioLulada Silva）政府的高级官员，巴西可能更接近将比特币添加到其国家储量中。

The idea is crucial for the country’s future, the official said, sparking fresh debate.

这位官员说，这个想法对于该国的未来至关重要，引发了新的辩论。

What Happened: Pedro Giocondo Guerra, chief of staff to Vice President Geraldo Alckmin, made the remarks at a congressional event on Wednesday.

发生了什么：副总裁杰拉尔多·阿尔克明（Geraldo Alckmin）的参谋长佩德罗·乔科多·瓜拉（Pedro Giocondo Guerra）在周三的国会活动上发表了讲话。

He highlighted how Bitcoin could be a key addition to Brazil’s financial safety net, likening it to digital gold—a recognized store of value that might also facilitate faster cross-border money flows.

他强调了比特币如何成为巴西财务安全网的关键补充，将其比作数字黄金，这是一种公认​​的价值存储，也可能促进更快的跨境资金流动。

Giocondo Guerra’s comments came in support of a new bill that would create a national Bitcoin reserve.

Giocondo Guerra的评论支持了一项新法案，该法案将创建国家比特币储备。

The bill, which is being proposed by Deputy Eros Biondini, aims to allocate a portion, up to 5%, of Brazil’s foreign exchange reserves to Bitcoin.

该法案是由副Eros Biondini提出的，旨在将巴西外汇储备的一部分分配给比特币。

The Central Bank would manage the Bitcoin holdings, using blockchain analysis and artificial intelligence to monitor the investments.

The bill lists several key reasons for investing in Bitcoin. It could help fortify the Brazilian economy against external shocks and diversify its financial portfolio.

该法案列出了投资比特币的几个关键原因。它可以帮助强化巴西经济免受外部冲击的影响，并使其金融投资组合多样化。

Moreover, it would serve to augment the launch of Brazil’s own digital currency, DREX, and broaden the country’s financial safety net.

此外，它将增加巴西自己的数字货币，DREX的推出，并扩大该国的财务安全网。

Brazil has already made significant strides in the crypto sphere. It was the first nation in the Americas to approve spot Bitcoin ETFs, and trading volumes have soared in recent times.

巴西已经在加密球体中取得了长足的进步。这是美洲第一个批准比特币ETF的国家，最近的交易量已经飙升。

Last year, Brazil went a step further by launching a Solana ETF, showcasing its openness to new technologies in the financial sector.

去年，巴西迈出了一步，推出了Solana ETF，展示了其对金融领域新技术的开放性。

If Biondini’s bill is passed, it would see Brazil join El Salvador—which famously adopted Bitcoin as legal tender—in making significant moves to integrate the cryptocurrency into national finances.

如果通过Biondini的法案获得通过，它将看到巴西加入萨尔瓦多（El Salvador）（著名地采用比特币）作为法定货币，以将加密货币纳入国家财政上的重大举措。

The bill faces an uphill battle before it reaches Lula’s desk for approval. It still needs to be approved by several congressional committees and both houses of Congress.

该法案在到达卢拉的办公桌前批准之前面临着一场艰苦的战斗。它仍然需要得到几个国会委员会和国会的两院批准。

Critics of the bill, which include members of the Brazilian Treasury, highlight the volatility of Bitcoin’s price and the potential cybersecurity risks. They maintain that such an investment would be a distraction from Brazil’s more pressing economic concerns.

该法案的批评者包括巴西财政部的成员，强调了比特币价格的波动和潜在的网络安全风险。他们坚持认为，这样的投资将使巴西更加紧迫的经济问题分散注意力。

Those in favor of the bill argue that investing in Bitcoin would help protect Brazil from inflation and lessen its dependence on the U.S. dollar, ultimately granting the country greater financial autonomy.

那些赞成该法案的人认为，投资比特币将有助于保护巴西免受通货膨胀的侵害，并减少对美元的依赖，最终授予该国更大的财务自治权。

The bill comes at a time when several countries are turning their attention to cryptocurrencies.

该法案是在几个国家将注意力转移到加密货币上的时候。

Earlier this week, the U.S. decided against selling seized Bitcoin, instead opting to retain it as a reserve asset. Meanwhile, Venezuela and Colombia are exploring ways to integrate cryptocurrencies into their respective national payment systems.

本周早些时候，美国决定不出售查获的比特币，而是选择将其保留为储备资产。同时，委内瑞拉和哥伦比亚正在探索将加密货币整合到各自的国家支付系统中的方法。

For Brazil, which already boasts one of the largest and most active retail crypto markets—with a 2023 survey by CoinsPulse revealing that 16% of Brazilians own crypto—this move could be a natural progression.

对于已经拥有最大，最活跃的零售加密货币市场之一的巴西来说，Coinspulse的2023年调查表明，这一举动可能是自然的进步。

If Brazil does decide to invest in Bitcoin, it could have a significant impact on both the country’s economy and the crypto market.

如果巴西确实决定投资比特币，它可能会对该国的经济和加密货币市场产生重大影响。
