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

It's illegal

First, digital currency ICO is illegal in China.

in September 2017, the people's Bank of China issued an announcement on preventing the financing risk of token issuance, which formally determined that ICO is illegal financing without approval, and no organization or indivial is allowed to participate

later, it was announced on April 23, 2018 that the left and right digital currency ICO platforms had all withdrawn from the Chinese market, so the current ICO is illegal in China

Second, digital currency exchange is prohibited in China.

after announcing that ICO is an illegal financing activity, the central bank also listed services such as trading, exchange, pricing and information intermediary for virtual currency as prohibited items, which means that digital currency exchange is illegal in China

all trading platforms, including bitcoin China, okcion and fire coin, announced in 2018 that they would stop the RMB recharge business and graally shut down their trading platforms. As of April 2018, all digital currency exchanges had completely withdrawn from the Chinese market

It is illegal to buy and sell digital currency in China

according to the announcement on preventing the financing risk of token issuance jointly issued by the central bank and other seven ministries and commissions, the announcement points out that any so-called token financing trading platform shall not engage in the exchange business between legal currency and token and "virtual currency", and shall not buy or sell tokens or "virtual currency" as the central counterparties, It is not allowed to provide pricing, information intermediary and other services for token or "virtual currency"

the announcement points out that token issuance financing refers to the so-called "virtual currency" raised from investors through illegal sale and circulation of tokens. In essence, it is an unauthorized illegal public financing behavior, suspected of illegal sale of token tickets, illegal issuance of securities, illegal fund-raising, financial fraud, pyramid schemes and other illegal and criminal activities

extended information:

the central bank said that the so-called "digital currency" in the market is not legal digital currency:

the central bank's monetary Bureau issued a "risk warning on issuing or promoting digital currency in the name of the people's Bank of China" on its official website, saying that recently, indivial enterprises falsely use the name of the central bank, The relevant digital procts are labeled as "authorized issuance by the people's Bank of China", or the central bank's digital currency promotion team is falsely claimed, in an attempt to deceive the public and take the opportunity to make huge profits

the central bank said that the central bank 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. The central bank also suggested that 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

in fact, virtual currencies such as bitcoin and lightcoin are representatives of the so-called digital currency. The central bank said in 2016 that it was studying China's legal digital currency. Yao Qian, director of the digital currency Research Institute of the people's Bank of China, previously told the media that the prototype scheme for the central bank to issue legal digital currency has completed two rounds of revision, and is expected to be tested in relatively closed application scenarios such as the bill market in the future, but there is no clear timetable for its launch

4. ​ In recent years, the speculation related to virtual currency (such as ICO, IFO, IEO, IMO and STO) has been in vogue. The price has gone up and down, and the risk has gathered rapidly. Relevant financing entities raise funds from investors or virtual currencies such as bitcoin and Ethereum through illegal sale and circulation of tokens. In essence, they are illegal public financing without approval. They are suspected of illegal sale of token bills, illegal issuance of securities, illegal fund-raising, financial fraud, pyramid schemes and other illegal crimes, which seriously disrupt the economic and financial order

on September 4, 2017, the people's Bank of China and other seven ministries and commissions issued the "notice on preventing the financing risk of token issuance", which cleaned up the ICO and virtual currency trading venues. The scale of domestic virtual currency transactions decreased significantly, effectively avoiding the impact of virtual currency prices on China's financial market.

6. Digital currency is a global financial behavior, which can not be controlled by any country. Therefore, digital currency is easy to be laundered, and the central bank will supervise it

7. Now many trading platforms also have reborn coins for trading. In addition to reborn currency, Wright currency and ether currency, these virtual currencies can be traded in the realm Kingdom, and they can simply judge the direction of price rise and fall.

8. Now there is no regulation of digital currency. I suggest you be careful. If you really want to play this thing, you should not take it seriously. It's easy to be cheated.
