印度的预算2025-2026承诺将为AI领导的增长，但令数字资产行业失望

印度财政部长尼尔马拉·西塔拉曼（Nirmala Sitharaman）在2月1日在议会向议会提出了工会预算2025-2026时，对监管以及减少数字资产的税收保持沉默。

India’s finance minister remained缄默silent on digital assets regulation, taxation in Union Budget

印度财政部长对数字资产法规，工会预算的税收保持沉默

India’s digital asset sector was hoping for a more supportive regulatory environment. The current policy, which includes a 30% tax on profits and a 1% Tax Deducted at Source (TDS) on transactions, has impacted the digital currency sector negatively, driving traders to offshore platforms and decreasing liquidity and market activity.

印度的数字资产部门希望建立更具支持性的监管环境。当前的政策包括30％的利润税和交易来源（TDS）扣除的1％税，对数字货币部门产生了负面影响，促使交易者到海上平台，并降低了流动性和市场活动。

This Union Budget was particularly crucial, as digital asset exchanges in India may face consolidation in 2025. Smaller exchanges could either shut down or merge with larger ones due to the challenging tax structure.

这项工会预算尤为重要，因为印度在2025年可能面临合并的数字资产交流。由于具有挑战性的税收结构，较小的交易所可能会关闭或与较大的交易所合并。

“The Union Budget swept in with the promise of transformation but left the Web3 industry reeling with a slew of unfulfilled expectations and bureaucratic indifference,” Raj Kapoor, founder of India Blockchain Alliance (IBA), told CoinGeek.

印度区块链联盟（IBA）的创始人拉吉·卡普尔（Raj Kapoor）告诉Coingeek：“工会预算席卷了转型的希望，但使Web3行业引起了很多未实现的期望和官僚的冷漠。”

“Industry leaders had anticipated a bold regulatory framework that would unleash innovation and attract investment into the dynamic world of blockchain and cryptocurrencies. Instead, they were met with deafening silence—no guidelines, no clarity, just the same opacity that continue to stifle progress,” Kapoor added.

“行业领导者预计将建立一个大胆的监管框架，该框架将释放创新，并吸引对区块链和加密货币的动态世界的投资。取而代之的是，他们遇到了震耳欲聋的沉默 - 没有准则，没有清晰度，只是继续扼杀进步的不透明性。”卡普尔补充说。

According to Sumit Gupta, co-founder of CoinDCX, India is pushing digital transformation through central bank digital currencies (CBDCs), artificial intelligence (AI), and Digital Public Infrastructure (DPI), but lacks a clear stance on Web3 and virtual digital assets.

根据CoindCX联合创始人Sumit Gupta的说法，印度正在通过中央银行数字货币（CBDCS），人工智能（AI）和数字公共基础设施（DPI）推动数字化转型，但缺乏对Web3和虚拟数字资产的明确立场。

“Despite blockchain adoption, crypto remains absent from the policy discussion. Crypto and Web3 are becoming an active part of policy discussions globally, specially in the US, and we need active policy discussions to be included in mainstream economic planning in India,” Gupta said on X.

“尽管采用了区块链，但政策讨论仍缺乏加密货币。 Gupta在X上说：“ Crypto和Web3正在全球尤其是在美国进行政策讨论的积极参与，我们需要积极的政策讨论才能包括在印度的主流经济计划中。”

In July 2024, CoinDCX, India’s first digital currency unicorn, listed the BSV token for trading on its platform, allowing users to have more ways to buy, sell, and trade BSV.

2024年7月，印度第一家数字货币独角兽Coindcx列出了BSV代币在其平台上进行交易，使用户可以拥有更多的购买，出售和交易BSV的方法。

“As digital assets and regulations continue to evolve globally, it is crucial for India to strike the right balance between regulation and growth. As the country works on the discussion paper for crypto policy, the industry is looking towards constructive policy discussions that can position India as a leader in the Web3 economy driving both economic growth and technological progress, rather than an observer,” Edul Patel, co-founder of Mudrex, a fintech startup, said in an emailed statement.

“随着数字资产和法规继续在全球发展，印度在监管和增长之间取得适当的平衡至关重要。随着该国的加密政策讨论文件，该行业正在寻求建设性的政策讨论，这些政策可以将印度定位为Web3经济的领导者，促进经济增长和技术进步，而不是观察者，” Edul Patel，共同金融科技初创公司Mudrex的创始人在电子邮件声明中说。

Boosting startups, entrepreneurship

提升初创公司，企业家精神

While the government is indifferent to digital assets trading, it is reinforcing its support for startups and micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs) with significant initiatives in Budget 2025-2026. India announced roughly $1.2 billion in funding for startups in this budget.

尽管政府对数字资产交易无动于衷，但它正在加强对初创企业和微型，中小型企业（MSME）的支持，并在预算2025-2026中具有重要的举措。印度宣布在此预算中为初创企业提供大约12亿美元的资金。

A new scheme will also be introduced for 500,000 first-time entrepreneurs, including women.

还将为500,000名首次企业家（包括妇女）引入一个新计划。

“A DeepTech fund of funds will be explored to catalyze the next generation startups,” Finance Minister Sitharaman said in her Budget speech.

财政部长西塔拉曼（Sitharaman）在预算演讲中说：“将探索一个资金基金来促进下一代初创公司。”

In July 2024, Sitharaman abolished the ‘angel tax’ to bolster entrepreneurial spirit and support innovation. The angel tax treated investments received by startups from external investors as “income from other sources” and levied a 30% taxation on them. Often short of funds, startups tend to lose money as angel tax would require them to share a significant part of the investment towards paying taxes.

2024年7月，西塔拉曼（Sitharaman）废除了“天使税”，以增强企业家精神和支持创新。来自外部投资者的初创公司收到的天使税处理的投资是“来自其他来源的收入”，并对他们征收30％的税款。由于天使税将要求他们分担大部分投资以缴纳税款，因此通常没有资金，因此往往会损失钱。

“The government’s bold creation of a Central Deep Tech Fund promises to be the wind beneath the wings of blockchain innovators,” Kapoor said.

卡普尔说：“政府大胆地创建了一个中央深技术基金会有望成为区块链创新者翅膀下方的风。”

“This fund will pour financial lifeblood into emerging technologies, including the much-vaunted Web3, providing the resources to turn visionary ideas into market-shaping realities. The budget commits to massive investments in infrastructure, ensuring that the digital backbone of the nation is robust enough to support the growth of Web3 startups,” Kapoor added.

“该基金将将金融命脉倒入包括备受竞争的Web3在内的新兴技术中，从而提供了将有远见的思想变成市场形成现实的资源。预算承诺在基础设施上进行大量投资，以确保美国的数字骨干足以支持Web3初创公司的增长。” Kapoor补充说。

According to Sanjay Budhia, managing director of Patton Group, a government-recognized export house, “The new classification criteria for MSMEs and steps to improve access to credits for MSMEs and startups will boost manufacturing prowess and improve export competitiveness.”

帕顿集团（Patton Group）的董事总经理桑杰·布希亚（Sanjay Budhia）表示，政府认可的出口房屋：“ MSMES的新分类标准，以及提高MSME和初创企业的信用额度的措施，将提高制造业能力并提高出口竞争力。”

Three Centres of Excellence in artificial intelligence

人工智能卓越的三个中心

“I had announced three Centres of Excellence in artificial intelligence for agriculture, health, and sustainable cities in 2023. Now a Centre of Excellence in Artificial Intelligence for education will be set up with a total outlay of Rs 500 crore ($57.6 million),” Sitharaman said in her Budget speech.

“我宣布了2023年的农业，健康和可持续城市人工智能卓越中心的三个卓越中心。现在，将建立一个人工智能卓越的教育中心，总计500亿卢比（5,760万美元），” Sitharaman在预算演讲中说。

According to Avinash Shekhar, co-founder and chief executive of Pi42, a digital currency derivatives platform, the proposals made by the government in the current Union Budget are futuristic, with significant emphasis on innovation and new-age technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI).

根据数字货币衍生品平台PI42的联合创始人兼首席执行官Avinash Shekhar表示，政府在当前工会预算中提出的建议是未来主义的，重点是创新和新时代技术（例如人工智能）（AI（AI）） ）。

“The fact that India’s future lies in disruptive technologies is well acknowledged. Emphasis on integrating technology across multiple levels of curriculum and education system clearly signals that the government wants the future workforce to be better equipped with all the tech know-hows,” Shekhar said in an emailed statement.

“印度未来的事实在于破坏性技术。 Shekhar在一封电子邮件声明中说：“强调跨多个课程和教育系统的技术整合，这清楚地表明，政府希望未来的劳动力能够更好地配备所有技术知识。”
