the central bank indicated that it has not issued legal digital currency, nor authorized any institutions and enterprises to issue legal digital currency, and there is no promotion team. At present, the so-called "digital currency" in the market is not legal digital currency

In addition, the so-called "digital currency" launched by some institutions and enterprises and the so-called promotion of the central bank's issuance of digital currency may involve pyramid selling and fraud

extended information:

virtual currency is the electronization of illegal currency, and its original issuer is not the central bank. This kind of virtual currency is mainly limited to circulation in a specific virtual environment. Digital currency can be used for real goods and services transactions, but only the digital currency issued by the state is legal digital currency

in 2013, the central bank, together with five ministries and commissions, issued the notice on prevention of bitcoin risks, which clearly defined non legal digital currencies such as bitcoin as virtual commodities, which do not exist in the form of currency and legal currency

At present, there are still a lot of repetitive human work in the bank's electronic loan process and processing process, and as the basic support of loan issuance, many of the collateral has the situation of false pricing or multiple or even no collateral.

Digital currency is a kind of legal tender, which must be issued by the central bank. Both digital gold coin and cryptocurrency belong to digital currency, which is not a network virtual currency, because it is not limited to virtual space, but is often used for real goods and services transactions, such as bitcoin, Wright coin, bitstock, etc. at present, there are thousands of digital currencies issued around the world

1. Impact on financial infrastructure

the decentralized mechanism of value exchange based on distributed ledger technology has changed the basic settings of gross and net settlement on which financial market infrastructure depends. The use of distributed ledgers also poses challenges to trading, clearing and settlement, as it promotes the disintermediation of traditional service providers in different markets and infrastructures. These changes may have potential impacts on market infrastructure other than retail payment systems, such as large payment systems, securities settlement systems or trading databases

If digital currency and distributed ledger based technology are widely used, it will bring challenges to the intermediary role of financial system participants, especially banks. As a financial intermediary, banks perform the ties of acting supervisors and supervise borrowers on behalf of depositors. Usually, banks also carry out liquidity and maturity conversion business to realize the financing from depositors to borrowers. If digital currency and distributed ledger are widely used, any subsequent disintermediation may have an impact on savings or credit evaluation mechanisms

1. Legitimacy

the domestic futures market countries set up financial derivatives trading venues, which are composed of four exchanges, namely, China Gold Exchange, Shanghai Futures Exchange, big business exchange and Zheng business exchange, which are supervised and managed by China Securities Regulatory Commission, futures monitoring center and futures association according to law

except bitcoin, which has a perfect management mechanism, the management of other digital currencies is chaotic and belongs to non-governmental organizations. Governments have never recognized the legality of digital currencies. Credit is completely managed by the self-discipline of issuers and participants, which poses great risks

Domestic futures: 9:00-10:15 a.m., 10:30-11:30 p.m. and 13:30-15:00 p.m. from Monday to Friday (except holidays)

digital currency: it can be traded 24 hours a day, and the trading time is in line with the international market

3. Proct selection

domestic futures: at present, there are dozens of futures varieties, and each variety has at least four months of contract, with standardized management and large trading volume, so it is difficult for funds to control the market

digital currency: the management is not standardized. Although many non-governmental organizations or indivials have set up a lot of digital currencies, the information is limited, and it is difficult to understand the situation of a certain digital currency. Some digital currencies have hierarchical relationship between the upper and lower families. Investing in a certain digital currency is a matter of luck, without any data as a reference

4, two-way trading

domestic futures, with its own leverage, can be two-way trading, long and short can be, t + 0 trading, after the profit can appear

digital currency: long by one side, and the so-called depletion of power resources to mine, the relationship between the superior and the subordinate profits

8. "Digital currency is an alternative currency in the form of electronic currency, which can be used for real goods and services transactions. Digital currency has the main characteristics of network packets. This kind of data package is composed of data code and identification code. The data code is the content to be transmitted, while the identification code indicates where the data package comes from and goes Definition of digital currency: the alternative currency in the form of electronic currency belongs to digiccy. Digital currency is an unregulated and digital currency, which is usually issued and managed by developers and accepted and used by members of a specific virtual community. The European Banking authority defines virtual currency as: the digital expression of value, which is not issued by the central bank or authorities, nor linked with legal currency, but because it is accepted by the public, it can be used as a means of payment, or can be transferred, stored or traded in electronic form. Digital currency can be considered as a virtual currency based on node network and digital encryption algorithm. The core characteristics of digital currency are mainly reflected in three aspects: first, e to some open algorithms, digital currency has no issuing subject, so no one or institution can control its issuing; ② Because the number of algorithm solutions is fixed, the total amount of digital currency is fixed, which fundamentally eliminates the possibility of inflation caused by the overuse of virtual currency; ③ Because the transaction process needs the approval of each node in the network, the transaction process of digital currency is safe enough. The emergence of bitcoin poses a great challenge to the existing monetary system. Although it belongs to the generalized virtual currency, it is essentially different from the virtual currency issued by network enterprises, so it is called digital currency. This paper compares digital currency with electronic currency and virtual currency from the aspects of issuing subject, scope of application, issuing quantity, storage form, circulation mode, credit guarantee, transaction cost and transaction security.

9. Yes,
since digital currency is not the currency initiated and approved by the central bank, it can not be banned. Digital currency belongs to digital assets, which can be freely traded between indivials. So digital currency is not an x-sale, not a capital disk, but a financial investment.
