印度执法局（ED）任命Coindcx为扣押的“加密货物”的保管人

在印度的数字资产行业，该国执法和经济情报局第一次任命了数字资产交换

For the first time in India’s digital asset sector, the Enforcement Directorate (ED), the nation’s law enforcement and economic intelligence agency, has appointed a digital asset exchange to handle custodian services for seized ‘cryptocurrency.’

该国执法和经济情报机构执法局（ED）首次在印度的数字资产部门中任命了数字资产交换，以处理被扣押的“加密货币”的托管服务。

ED has entrusted CoinDCX with the responsibility of managing asset forfeiture and providing a secure custody infrastructure for storing and supervising these assets. This partnership is expected to ensure a compliant and secure solution for handling seized assets, CoinDCX said in an emailed statement.

埃德（Ed）委托CoindCX负责管理资产没收，并为存储和监督这些资产提供安全的监护基础设施。 Coindcx在电子邮件声明中说，预计该合作伙伴关系有望确保合规且安全的解决方案。

CoinDCX, India’s first digital currency unicorn, in July listed the BSV token for trading on its platform, allowing users to have more ways to buy, sell, and trade BSV. With CoinDCX’s roughly 15 million registered users, the listing marks a significant expansion into the Indian market for BSV and demonstrates its potential and possibility in the region.

印度第一家数字货币独角兽Coindcx在7月份列出了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。凭借CoindCX的大约1500万注册用户，该清单标志着BSV印度市场的大幅扩展，并证明了其在该地区的潜力和可能性。

“Deeply honoured to share that CoinDCX is assisting the Enforcement Directorate (ED) for custody management of seized assets,” said Sumit Gupta, Co-founder of CoinDCX.

Coindcx的联合创始人Sumit Gupta表示：“非常荣幸地分享CoindCX正在协助执法局（ED）进行扣押资产的监护权管理。”

“CoinDCX will deploy a specialised team trained in advanced security protocols and will assist the ED to store seized assets in multi-signature and multi-party computation (MPC) wallets. Multi-signature wallets require multiple keys for withdrawals, while MPC wallets distribute a private key into multiple shards across devices,” Gupta explained.

“ CoindCX将部署一个专业的团队，接受了高级安全协议培训，并将帮助ED在多方签名和多方计算（MPC）钱包中存储查获的资产。多签名的钱包需要多个撤离键，而MPC钱包则将私钥分配到跨设备的多个碎片中。” Gupta解释说。

“Based on our 7+ years of operations in India, we will provide the best-in-class security, compliance solutions, and unparalleled expertise in digital asset management! This is our small attempt at contributing to nation-building and creating a safer ecosystem for digital assets,” Gupta added.

“根据我们在印度的7年以上的运营，我们将提供一流的安全性，合规性解决方案和无与伦比的数字资产管理专业知识！这是我们为国家建设和创造一个更安全的数字资产生态系统做出贡献的小尝试。” Gupta补充说。

ED has been taking strong measures to address and dismantle digital asset fraud across multiple cities in India. With the increasing rise of financial crimes in the digital asset sector, the agency has significantly ramped up its operations to investigate and target fraudulent activities. These efforts are part of a broader strategy to ensure that digital asset markets remain secure and that illegal schemes that exploit unsuspecting investors are swiftly identified and stopped. Through these crackdowns, ED aims to uphold financial integrity and safeguard public interest in the country’s rapidly evolving digital economy.

埃德（Ed）一直在采取强有力的措施来解决和拆除印度多个城市的数字资产欺诈。随着数字资产行业金融犯罪的增加，该机构大大增加了其运营，以调查和针对欺诈活动。这些努力是一项更广泛的战略的一部分，以确保数字资产市场保持安全，并迅速确定并停止利用毫无戒心的投资者的非法计划。通过这些镇压，ED旨在维护财务完整性并保护该国迅速发展的数字经济的公众利益。

The ‘crypto’ seizures

“加密”癫痫发作

In a parallel development, ED also conducted raids in Delhi, Jaipur, and Mumbai as part of an investigation into a digital asset fraud case. The case involved Chirag Tomar, a 31-year-old Indian sentenced to five years in the U.S. According to reports, a U.S. district judge in Charlotte, North Carolina, handed down the sentence in October.

在平行的发展中，埃德还在德里，斋浦尔和孟买进行了突袭，这是对数字资产欺诈案件的调查的一部分。该案涉及奇拉格·托马尔（Chirag Tomar），这是一名31岁的印度人在美国五年徒刑，据报道，北卡罗来纳州夏洛特的一名美国地方法院法官于10月份宣判了这一判决。

Following his sentencing in the U.S., ED initiated an investigation under the Foreign Exchange Management Act (FEMA). It estimated that cryptocurrency valued at ₹600 ($6.88) crore was converted through various local crypto exchanges and later transferred by the accused.

在他在美国宣判后，ED根据《外汇管理法》（FEMA）进行了调查。它估计，价值为600卢比（6.88亿美元）的加密货币通过各种当地加密交易所转换，后来由被告转移。

India indifferent to digital assets

印度对数字资产无动于衷

India’s relationship with digital assets has gone hot and cold over the last few years. The federal government has treated digital assets with suspicion, so far as imposing one of the harshest taxation in 2022—a 30% flat tax on all digital currency income with no provision to offset losses and a 1% tax deducted at source (TDS) on all transactions above Rs 10,000 ($114). This may likely lead to a loss of about $1.2 trillion in trade volume on domestic exchanges over the years, a study from Esya Centre, an Indian policy think tank, claimed. As much as $3.85 billion may have already moved to overseas digital asset trading exchanges as traders look to evade punishing taxes in India.

在过去的几年中，印度与数字资产的关系变得寒冷。联邦政府对数字资产的怀疑进行了怀疑，就2022年的最严厉的税收之一，对所有数字货币收入的30％持续税，没有任何补偿损失的规定，并且对所有交易征收1％的税款（TDS），所有交易中的所有交易（TDS）超过10,000卢比（114美元）（$ 114）。印度政策智囊团Esya Center的一项研究说，这可能会导致多年来的国内交易所损失约1.2万亿美元的贸易量。随着贸易商希望逃避印度的惩罚税收，可能已经转移到了海外数字资产交易交易所。

As a result, India’s digital asset exchanges are likely looking at a consolidation in 2025, with smaller exchanges either shutting down operations or merging with larger ones. Seychelles-headquartered OKX, the second-largest global digital asset exchange by trading volume, shut down its India operations in 2024, citing regulatory hurdles.

结果，印度的数字资产交易所很可能在2025年进行合并，较小的交易所可以关闭运营或与较大的交易所合并。塞舌尔总部的OKX是第二大全球数字资产交易所通过交易量的OKX，并于2024年关闭了印度业务，并引用了监管障碍。

While the world’s most populous nation is looking to regulate the digital assets space, Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman said last year that ‘cryptocurrencies’ cannot be a legal currency in India. Moreover, in December, India informed that there is no fixed timeline for introducing comprehensive regulatory guidelines for virtual digital assets (VDAs) in the country. As a result, the legal status of VDAs continues to be in limbo, with no specific legislation governing digital currency-based businesses in the country.

尽管世界上人口最多的国家正在寻求规范数字资产空间，但财政部长尼尔马拉·西塔拉曼（Nirmala Sitharaman）去年表示，“加密货币”在印度不能成为合法货币。此外，在12月，印度告知，没有固定的时间表可以在该国引入虚拟数字资产（VDA）的综合监管指南。结果，VDA的法律地位继续处于困境，没有具体的立法来管理该国基于数字货币的业务。
