最高法院说，印度的比特币交易类似于运营“霍瓦拉商业的精致方式”。

印度最高法院周一说，印度的比特币交易类似于经营“圣哈拉（Hawala）业务的精致方式”。这一声明是在Shailesh Babulal Bhatt提出的保释申请的听证会上发表的，Shailesh Babulal Bhatt因涉嫌非法比特币交易而被警方逮捕。

The Supreme Court of India on Monday compared Bitcoin trading in the country to a "refined way of Hawala business." The apex court made this striking observation while hearing the bail application of Shailesh Babulal Bhatt, who is embroiled in a case of alleged illegal Bitcoin trading.

印度最高法院周一将该国的比特币贸易与“哈瓦拉商业的精致方式”进行了比较。最高法院在听到Shailesh Babulal Bhatt的保释申请时进行了惊人的观察，该申请被指控涉嫌非法比特币交易。

The case was being heard by a bench of Justices Surya Kant and N Kotiswar Singh.

大法官Surya Kant和N Kotiswar Singh的大法官正在审理此案。

As the bail application came up for hearing, the apex court expressed its displeasure with the Centre for its lack of response regarding a clear regulatory framework for virtual currencies.

当保释申请出现聆讯时，最高法院对该中心表示不满，因为它缺乏对虚拟货币的明确监管框架的反应。

This observation came after the apex court had, two years ago, asked the government to clarify its stance on Bitcoin trading and the regulation of virtual currencies.

这一观察结果是在两年前最高法院要求政府澄清其对比特币交易和虚拟货币规范的立场之后。

However, despite repeated requests from the bench, the Centre has failed to provide a response.

但是，尽管替补席上反复要求，但中心仍未提供回应。

"If there was some regulation, then there would be no problem in Bitcoin trading. But there is no regulation. It is a new way of doing Hawala business in a very refined manner. They (government) keep mum. They don't respond. They are not concerned with what is happening," Justice Surya Kant said.

“如果有一定的法规，那么比特币交易就没有问题。但是没有法规。这是一种以非常精致的方式从事哈瓦拉业务的新方式。他们（政府）保持妈妈。他们没有回应。他们不关心正在发生的事情，”法官苏里亚·康德（Surya Kant）说。

The bench further noted that if there was no regulatory system, then it was bound to cause problems.

替补席进一步指出，如果没有监管系统，则必然会引起问题。

"I don’t understand much about Bitcoin but they (government) are not able to put up any regulations.

“我对比特币的了解不多，但他们（政府）无法制定任何法规。

They (government) are not able to take a stand. Is it legal or illegal? They (government) don't know. How can they (government) be in government if they don't know what is legal and what is illegal?" Justice Surya Kant added.

他们（政府）无法立场。是合法还是非法？他们（政府）不知道。如果他们不知道什么是合法，什么是非法的，他们（政府）怎么能进入政府？”苏里亚·康德法官补充说。

Earlier, Senior Advocate Mukul Rohatgi, appearing for the applicant, submitted that trading in Bitcoin was not illegal in India.

早些时候，为申请人出现的高级倡导者穆库尔·罗哈特吉（Mukul Rohatgi）提出，在印度，比特币交易不是非法的。

Pointing out that the case arose out of an FIR registered by the ED, Rohatgi said that the apex court had already quashed the RBI circular which had imposed restrictions on cryptocurrency transactions.

罗哈特吉（Rohatgi）指出，该案是由ED登记的FIR引起的，他说，最高法院已经撤销了对加密货币交易施加限制的印度储备银行通告。

Highlighting the enormity of Bitcoin's value and the fact that it was being traded in several foreign countries, Rohatgi said that the value of one BTC was ₹82 lakh on Sunday.

罗哈特吉（Rohatgi）强调了比特币价值的巨大价值以及它在几个外国进行交易的事实，他说，一个BTC的价值在周日为820万卢比。

However, Additional Solicitor General Aishwarya Bhati, appearing for the Gujarat government and the ED, said that the case went beyond the issue of Bitcoin trade.

但是，为古吉拉特邦政府和急诊室出现的其他副检察长艾希瓦娅·巴蒂（Aishwarya Bhati）说，该案超出了比特币贸易的问题。

Bhati told the apex court that the case involved other aspects of criminal activity, such as fraudulent transactions, which were linked to Bhatt's alleged involvement in illegal activities.

巴蒂告诉最高法院，该案涉及犯罪活动的其他方面，例如欺诈性交易，这些交易与巴特所谓的非法活动有关。

Bhatt, who was arrested on August 14, 2024, is currently in custody. He is challenging the Gujarat High Court's February 25 ruling, which denied him bail in the case.

巴特（Bhatt）于2024年8月14日被捕，目前正在拘留中。他正在挑战古吉拉特高等法院2月25日的裁决，该裁决否认了他在此案中的保释。

The apex court is also hearing a case where multiple FIRs were registered against an individual who was accused of duping investors by inducing them to trade Bitcoin with promises of high returns.

最高法院还审理了一个案件，该案件是针对一个被指控欺骗投资者诱使他们以高回报承诺交易比特币来欺骗投资者的个人的案件。

In January 2024, the Centre told the apex court that it had not yet determined how to control cryptocurrencies and deal with crimes related to them.

2024年1月，该中心告诉最高法院，尚未确定如何控制加密货币并处理与之相关的犯罪。

Also, on February 25, 2022, the apex court had asked the Centre to clarify if the trading of cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin was legal in India.

另外，在2022年2月25日，最高法院要求该中心澄清像比特币这样的加密货币交易在印度是否合法。

The apex court has now ordered the Gujarat government and the ED to respond to Bhatt’s bail plea within ten days. The matter will now be heard again on May 19, 2025.

最高法院现在已下令古吉拉特邦政府和急诊署在十天内回应巴特的保释请求。现在将在2025年5月19日再次听到此事。
