由於惡性通貨膨脹和製裁的影響，委內瑞拉人轉向加密貨幣

隨著委內瑞拉麵臨嚴重的惡性通貨膨脹，委內瑞拉玻利瓦爾的價值急劇下跌，國外的人們紛紛轉向加密貨幣發送

As Venezuela continues to grapple with severe hyperinflation and a rapidly depreciating bolívar, those living outside the country have increasingly resorted to cryptocurrencies to send funds to their families back home. This trend has seen a steady rise in recent years, with a brief dip in 2018.

隨著委內瑞拉繼續應對嚴重的惡性通貨膨脹和玻利瓦爾的迅速貶值，居住在國外的人們越來越多地利用加密貨幣向家鄉的家人匯款。這一趨勢近年來穩步上升，但在 2018 年略有下降。

Traditionally, such remittances would be processed through financial services companies specializing in cross-border payments. However, steep fees, lengthy waiting times, and issues with currency supply often render these services inconvenient for most people. As a result, cryptocurrencies have emerged as a preferred alternative for sending funds to family members in Venezuela.

傳統上，此類匯款將透過專門從事跨境支付的金融服務公司進行處理。然而，高昂的費用、漫長的等待時間以及貨幣供應問題往往會給大多數人帶來這些服務的不便。因此，加密貨幣已成為向委內瑞拉家庭成員匯款的首選替代方案。

The country's standing on the world stage has deteriorated significantly over the years due to its autocratic government, corruption, and unfavorable policies, which have led to a slew of international sanctions being imposed on Venezuela. Despite boasting the largest oil reserves globally, the country continues to face economic災難s, with its currency experiencing drastic devaluation as a result of hyperinflationary pressures.

多年來，由於其獨裁政府、腐敗和不利政策，該國在世界舞台上的地位大幅惡化，導致國際社會對委內瑞拉實施一系列制裁。儘管擁有全球最大的石油儲備，該國仍面臨經濟災難，惡性通膨壓力導致其貨幣大幅貶值。

In an attempt to circumvent these sanctions and facilitate easier transacting and trading, especially given its vast oil reserves, the Venezuelan government introduced its cryptocurrency. However, a lack of adoption—even by its own Central Bank—and other factors led to the government discontinuing its development and maintenance by 2024.

為了規避這些制裁並促進更容易的交易，特別是考慮到其龐大的石油儲量，委內瑞拉政府推出了加密貨幣。然而，由於缺乏採用（即使是自己的中央銀行）以及其他因素，導致政府在 2024 年之前停止了其開發和維護。

Other measures have also been taken by Venezuela, such as turning to stablecoins for trade-related purposes. However, such efforts are also being met with resistance, with Tether, the largest stablecoin issuer, cutting off support to Venezuela this year. This decision was made as the issuer complies with U.S.-related sanctions on the country due to its government.

委內瑞拉還採取了其他措施，例如轉向穩定幣用於貿易相關目的。然而，這類努力也遇到了阻力，最大的穩定幣發行商 Tether 今年切斷了對委內瑞拉的支持。這項決定是由於發行人遵守美國政府對該國實施的相關制裁而做出的。

“Venezuela's state-run oil company PDVSA plans to increase digital currency usage in its crude and fuel exports as the U.S. reimposes oil sanctions on the country,” according to a Reuters article from April.

據路透社 4 月的一篇文章稱，“隨著美國重新對該國實施石油製裁，委內瑞拉國營石油公司 PDVSA 計劃增加其原油和燃料出口中的數位貨幣使用。”

Despite these efforts, peer-to-peer transactions, which Venezuelan citizens use to receive funds and transact locally for products and services, cannot be stopped. While the government's embrace of cryptocurrencies may not sit well with the masses, the citizens' use of this asset class enjoys strong support, as crypto empowers individuals to access finance despite the conditions created by their authoritarian government.

儘管做出了這些努力，委內瑞拉公民用來接收資金並在當地進行產品和服務交易的點對點交易仍無法停止。儘管政府對加密貨幣的接受可能不會受到大眾的歡迎，但公民對這一資產類別的使用得到了強有力的支持，因為加密貨幣使個人能夠獲得融資，儘管其獨裁政府創造了條件。
