印度最高法院将比特币交易与哈瓦拉汇款系统进行比较

根据印度最高法院的说法，贸易比特币类似于使用非法Hawala汇款系统。 Shailesh Babulal Bhatt被指控从事非法

The highest legal body in India, the Supreme Court, has touched upon a pressing issue - the absence of cryptocurrency regulation in the country, despite it being the subject of previous discussions.

最高法院，印度最高的法律机构已经谈到了一个紧迫的问题 - 尽管这是先前讨论的主题，但该国缺乏加密货币监管。

The observations were made during a bail hearing for Shailesh Babulal Bhatt, who is being accused by the Gujarat government and the Enforcement Directorate (ED) of engaging in illegal trading of Bitcoin. The bench, led by Justice Surya Kant, expressed concern over the lack of a clear legal framework for cryptocurrencies in India.

这些观察是在为Shailesh Babulal Bhatt的保释听证会上做出的，Shailesh Babulal Bhatt被古吉拉特邦政府指控和执法局（ED）从事非法交易比特币。由苏里亚·康德（Surya Kant）大法官领导的法官对印度缺乏明确的法律框架表示关注。

The apex court had earlier, more than two years ago, asked the central government to clarify its stand on cryptocurrency regulation. However, no significant response has been given to date, and the judiciary and public remain in the dark.

最高法院早些时候，两年多以前，要求中央政府澄清其对加密货币法规的立场。但是，迄今为止尚无重大反应，司法机构和公众仍在黑暗中。

The central government was also criticized by the Supreme Court for inaction. The bench added that a proper regulatory regime could provide a way to combat the risks of Bitcoin trading.

最高法院也批评了中央政府。替补席补充说，适当的监管制度可以提供一种打击比特币交易风险的方法。

"This is a polished form of Hawala business and there is an urgent need for clarity in this regard," Justice Kant stated.

康德法官说：“这是哈瓦拉业务的一种抛光形式，在这方面迫切需要清晰。”

The observations highlight a crucial void in India's approach to digital currencies. While the government has introduced taxation and anti-money laundering (AML) measures for crypto, a comprehensive regulatory structure is yet to be implemented.

这些观察结果突出了印度的数字货币方法中的关键空隙。尽管政府已经提出了加密货币的税收和反洗钱（AML）措施，但尚未实施全面的监管结构。

The Supreme Court's comparison to the illicit Hawala money transfer system underscores the potential for crypto to be misused for illegal financial activities.

最高法院与非法Hawala汇款系统的比较强调了加密货币滥用非法财务活动的潜力。

The bench, also comprising Justice M. Shankar, further pointed out that the trade of Bitcoins is not against the law in India and that Bitcoins are not considered to be tangible versions of cash.

替补席上还包括M. Shankar大法官，进一步指出，比特币的贸易并不违反印度的法律，并且比特币不被认为是现金的切实版本。

Referring to a previous Supreme Court decision that overturned an RBI circular forbidding cryptocurrency transactions, Rohatgi, who appeared for Bhatt, said, "There is no law in India that says trading in bitcoins is illegal."

在提到以前的最高法院裁决，该裁决推翻了RBI通函禁止加密货币交易，罗哈特吉（Rohatgi）出现在巴特（Bhatt），他说：“印度没有法律说，比特币交易是非法的。”

However, the bench was adamant that a defined legal structure be set up to prevent misuse.

但是，替补席坚持要建立定义的法律结构以防止滥用。

The Gujarat government and the ED have been given 10 days by the court to respond to the matter. Further discussions on Bhatt’s bail and the matter of cryptocurrency regulation are expected to take place at the next hearing on May 19, 2025.

古吉拉特邦政府和急诊室已由法院提供了10天的时间，以应对此事。预计将在2025年5月19日的下一次听证会上就巴特的保释和加密货币监管问题进行进一步讨论。
