The Indian crypto market is experiencing an unprecedented surge as people of all ages, particularly young professionals, turn to cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Dogecoin to supplement their income and navigate a challenging job market, according to a report by Reuters.

根據路透社的一份報告，印度加密貨幣市場正在經歷空前的激增，因為各個年齡段的人們（尤其是年輕的專業人​​士）轉向比特幣，以太坊和狗狗等加密貨幣，以補充其收入並導航挑戰性的就業市場。

This trend is not limited to major cities like Mumbai and Delhi. Smaller cities like Jaipur, Lucknow, and Pune are also witnessing a significant increase in crypto adoption as individuals seek additional income streams amid slow economic growth.

這種趨勢不僅限於孟買和德里等主要城市。齋浦爾，勒克瑙和浦那等較小的城市也目睹了加密貨幣採用的大幅增長，因為在經濟增長緩慢的情況下，個人尋求額外的收入來源。

Ashish Nagose, a 28-year-old flower shop owner in Nagpur, began trading crypto two months ago after attending a local trading school. For him, it's a matter of survival. "I want to run my family shop and hope that trading can provide a steady income when business slows down," he told Reuters.

Nagpur的28歲花店老闆Ashish Nagose在上當地的一所貿易學校後開始交易加密貨幣。對他來說，這是生存的問題。他告訴路透社：“我想經營我的家庭商店，並希望交易能夠在企業減慢時能提供穩定的收入。”

Institutional interest in crypto has also been growing, with India's crypto market projected to reach $15 billion by 2035, up from $2.5 billion in 2024, according to Grant Thornton Bharat. This represents a significant compound annual growth rate of 18.5%.

根據格蘭特·桑頓·巴拉特（Grant Thornton Bharat）的數據，到2035年，印度加密貨幣市場預計將達到150億美元，高於2024年的25億美元。這表示顯著的複合年增長率為18.5％。

Data from CoinSwitch, one of the largest crypto platforms in India, reveals that seven out of the top 10 crypto-trading cities in 2024 were smaller cities.

來自印度最大的加密平台之一Coinswitch的數據表明，2024年加密貨幣交易的前10個城市中有7個是較小的城市。

Sagar Neware, a 25-year-old mechanical engineer in Nagpur, is one such trader. He earns 25,000 rupees ($288) a month at the local transport office, but at night, he trades crypto, hoping to revive his father's plastic packaging business.

薩加爾·紐納（Sagar Neware）是那格浦爾（Nagpur）的25歲機械工程師，就是這樣的商人。他每月在當地的運輸辦公室賺取25,000盧比（288美元），但在晚上，他要進行加密貨幣，希望能夠恢復父親的塑料包裝業務。

To hone his trading skills, Neware attends a local school where he learns technical analysis, risk management, and crypto market psychology.

為了磨練他的交易技巧，紐納爾（Neware）就讀了一所當地學校，在那裡他學習了技術分析，風險管理和加密貨幣市場心理學。

Despite the surge in trading activity, India's crypto industry operates in a legal gray area. The government has imposed a 30% tax on crypto trading gains but has yet to issue formal regulations governing exchanges or investor protections.

儘管交易活動激增，但印度的加密貨幣行業仍在合法的灰色地區運作。政府已對加密貨幣貿易收益徵收30％的稅，但尚未發布有關交易所或投資者保護的正式法規。

India's market regulator has expressed interest in overseeing the industry, but specific guidelines are still pending.

印度的市場監管機構對監督該行業表示興趣，但仍在審理中。

Trading volumes on India's four largest crypto exchanges have doubled in just three months, reaching $1.9 billion in Q4 2024, according to data from CoinGecko.

根據Coingecko的數據，印度四個最大的加密交易所交易的交易量翻了一番，在2024年第四季度達到了19億美元。
