俄罗斯使用比特币进行国际支付以绕过西方制裁

俄罗斯财政部长安东·西卢阿诺夫证实，比特币和其他加密货币正在国际贸易中使用。

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.

据路透社报道，俄罗斯财政部长安东·西卢阿诺夫表示，俄罗斯越来越多地使用比特币进行国际贸易，以抵消西方制裁的影响。

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，俄罗斯公司已经在使用比特币与中国、印度和土耳其进行支付结算，并补充说，他预计到 2025 年，国际贸易中加密货币的使用将大幅增加。

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

在他发表此番言论之前，俄罗斯总统弗拉基米尔·普京最近强调了比特币的弹性，并表示没有政府可以完全禁止这种数字货币。

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.

在持续的制裁中，俄罗斯一直在加大力度将加密货币纳入其经济和金融体系，这些制裁在很大程度上切断了该国与 SWIFT 等全球金融网络的联系。

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.

为了促进国际交易，俄罗斯一直在转向比特币和其他加密货币作为替代品，使俄罗斯企业能够继续与不受西方影响严重的国家（特别是亚洲国家）进行贸易。

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，俄罗斯当局还出台了针对加密货币挖矿的新规则，包括禁止在某些地区进行挖矿，该禁令将于 2025 年 1 月生效，一直持续到 2031 年。

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

这项为期六年的加密货币采矿禁令是俄罗斯控制能源消耗和确保环境保护努力的一部分。

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.

俄罗斯政府还致力于扩大加密货币在全球交易中的使用。官员们正在推动更广泛地采用数字货币，以减少对主要由西方主导的传统金融体系的依赖。

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

这包括按照“数字货币”法案的规定，努力为加密货币相关交易创造更有利的监管环境。

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

财政部长的言论反映了俄罗斯对数字货币推动经济弹性潜力的信念。

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.

政府预计，比特币和其他加密货币将在制定俄罗斯国际贸易战略中发挥关键作用，因为该国正在寻求可持续的金融替代方案，以确保与全球合作伙伴的持续贸易。
