Bitcoin, Ether ja NFT-d ei muutu Indias kunagi seaduslikuks maksevahendiks, ütles rahandusminister PlatoBlockchain Data Intelligence. Vertikaalne otsing. Ai.

T.V. Somanathan, the finance secretary for the Indian government, is reportedly pushing back against the narrative that cryptocurrencies will be widely accepted in the country — by dismissing the possibility of using them as legal tender.

Asian News Internationali Somanathani kolmapäevase säutsu kohaselt ütles that a digital rupee backed by the Reserve Bank of India, or RBI, will be accepted as legal tender, but major cryptocurrencies have no chance of doing so. The finance secretary added that because digital assets including Bitcoin (BTC) ja eeter (ETH) do not have authorization from the government, they will likely remain “assets whose value will be determined between two people.”

"RBI väljastatud digitaalne ruupia on seaduslik maksevahend," ütles Somanathan. "Ülejäänud kõik ei ole seaduslikud maksevahendid, ei saa ega muutu kunagi seaduslikuks maksevahendiks. Bitcoinist, Ethereumist või NFT-st ei saa kunagi seaduslikku maksevahendit […] Võite osta kulda, teemante, krüptoraha, kuid sellel ei ole valitsuse luba.

Rahandussekretär lisas:

"Inimesed, kes investeerivad erakrüptosse, peaksid mõistma, et sellel ei ole valitsuse luba. Pole mingit garantiid, kas teie investeering on edukas või mitte, inimene võib saada kahju ja valitsus ei vastuta selle eest.

Somanathan’s words followed Indian finance minister Nirmala Sitharaman announcement on Feb. 1 that the country planned to launch a central bank digital currency, or CBDC, by 2023, adding it could provide a “big boost” to the digital economy. She also proposed that transactions on digital assets be taxed at a rate of 30%.

Indian lawmakers have previously floated a bill that could have banned the use of “private cryptocurrencies” in the country. However, a Tuesday bulletin from India’s lower house of Parliament showed the legislation was not being considered during its budget session through May. Instead, the government announced a training event for lawmakers regarding crypto and its effects on the economy.
