印度最高法院將比特幣交易與哈瓦拉相比，敦促政府制定明確的加密法規。

印度最高法院將比特幣交易與現代版本的非法貨幣轉移進行了比較。這些言論是在保釋聽證會上的

India's Supreme Court drew an interesting parallel between Bitcoin trading and a modern rendition of the illegal money transfer system known as Hawala. These observations were made during a bail hearing for Shailesh Babulal Bhatt, who faces charges of engaging in illegal Bitcoin trading.

印度最高法院在比特幣交易和對非法貨幣轉移系統的現代演繹之間取得了有趣的相似之處，稱為Hawala。這些觀察是在Shailesh Babulal Bhatt的保釋聽證會上進行的，後者面臨從事非法比特幣交易的指控。

The judges also expressed their irritation at the Indian government for an outstanding lack of progress in setting clearer rules for crypto.

法官們還對印度政府表示刺激，因為在為加密製定更明確的規定方面缺乏進展。

“Trading in Bitcoin appears to be a sophisticated form of Hawala. In the absence of any regulation, it raises serious concerns,” the bench remarked.

替補席說：“比特幣交易似乎是哈瓦拉的一種複雜形式。在沒有任何法規的情況下，它引起了嚴重的關注。”

The apex court had sought an update from the government on its policy on cryptocurrencies in a similar case two years ago, following multiple FIRs against a man for allegedly duping investors with promises of high returns from Bitcoin trading.

最高法院在兩年前在類似案件中，在對一名男子的多次飛行中，據稱對投資者欺騙了比特幣交易的高回報承諾，對政府的加密貨幣政策尋求有關其加密貨幣的政策的最新消息。

However, there has been no progress on this front yet. Pointing this out, Senior Lawyer Mukul Rohatgi, who was appearing for Bhatt, stated that Bitcoin trading is not illegal in India as the Supreme Court had already struck down the RBI circular that barred banks from dealing in cryptocurrencies.

但是，這方面還沒有進展。指出這一點，為巴特（Bhatt）出庭的高級律師穆克爾·羅哈特吉（Mukul Rohatgi）表示，在印度，比特幣交易不是非法的，因為最高法院已經擊落了印度儲備銀行的通告，這使銀行無法從事加密貨幣。

But Justice Surya Kant responded that while he does not fully understand how Bitcoin works, the court has been demanding that the government bring clear rules to avoid such confusion. He believes that while some Bitcoins are genuine, others are fake.

但是蘇里亞·康德（Surya Kant）法官回答說，儘管他不完全了解比特幣的工作原理，但法院一直要求政府提出明確的規則以避免這種混亂。他認為，儘管有些比特幣是真實的，但有些是假的。

“Without any proper regulations, Bitcoin trading in India is like a sophisticated version of Hawala. But they say one BTC can buy a car in some countries and it is not a small amount. It is around ₹82 lakh,” Rohatgi added.

“沒有任何適當的法規，印度的比特幣交易就像是Hawala的複雜版本。但是他們說，一個BTC可以在某些國家購買汽車，而不是很少。它的價格約為820萬盧比，” Rohatgi補充說。

The Gujarat government and ED sought more time from the Supreme Court over the case, saying that it goes beyond Bitcoin trading and they will take 10 days to reply. The next hearing is now on May 19.

古吉拉特邦政府和埃德（Gujarat）政府就此案尋求更多時間，稱其不僅僅是比特幣交易，他們將需要10天的時間來回复。下一次聽證會是5月19日。

Bhatt has been in jail since August 2023, appealing a February order from the Gujarat High Court that denied him bail. He was arrested in July 2023 by the ED in an old case.

Bhatt自2023年8月以來一直入獄，上訴了古吉拉特高等法院的2月份命令，該命令否認他保釋。在一個古老的案件中，他於2023年7月被埃德（Ed）逮捕。

India has been planning to introduce crypto regulations for a long time now and is finally making some progress. Earlier this year, India imposed a 30% tax on crypto profits and also included virtual asset transactions in the Prevention of Money Laundering Act. However, a broader regulatory framework is still needed.

印度一直計劃在很長一段時間內推出加密法規，並終於取得了一些進展。今年早些時候，印度對加密貨幣徵收30％的稅，還包括《預防洗錢法》中的虛擬資產交易。但是，仍然需要更廣泛的監管框架。
