Financial risk of digital currency

1.

Yin Zhentao, deputy director of the law and Finance Research Office of the Financial Research Institute of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, said that digital currency faces two risks. The first is the technical level. Digital currency relies on blockchain technology and a system, which will make it suffer from security impact, such as hacker attacks on computer systems. We have seen many practical problems in this process

Zhao Zhanzhan, a special researcher of intellectual property research center of China University of political science and law, believes that digital currency has anonymity, quickness and irrevocability. In addition, bitcoin and other digital currencies have high circulation in the world, so many criminals use digital currency as a new money laundering channel. Moreover, there are many different ways to realize money laundering through digital currency. Generally speaking, the probability of new money laundering being found and investigated is lower than before. Many countries have no effective means and technology to combat money laundering through digital currency. These factors lead to criminals prefer this way of money laundering

2. Legal risks faced by digital currency: (1) at the macro level, there are legal risks, systematic risks and consumer protection. At present, the legislative problems of e-commerce and e-payment have not been solved, the concept of e-currency and related provisions need to be clarified, and many laws and regulations have not been followed up. Secondly, there is a systemic risk caused by the collapse of a single issuing institution. If a certain issuing institution loses confidence in e-money e to its poor management, other e-money issuing institutions will also face run risk. Moreover, in the absence of standardized supervision, it is difficult for the public to effectively identify the qualification and credit level of issuers. How to effectively prompt risks and protect the rights and interests of the public has become a difficult problem. In addition, the concealment, rapidity and cross-border nature of Internet payment make e-money an inevitable money laundering tool for criminals 2 At the micro level, there are technical risks and credit risks in the main body of e-money issuance. The issuers of e-money in China include banks, non bank financial institutions, Internet enterprises and other enterprises. Due to the weak financial professional foundation of some issuers, especially the lack of mandatory technical security standards in China, there are serious management loopholes and security risks in e-money issuers. System software or hardware failures will affect the availability of e-money. Secondly, the unreasonable structure of assets and liabilities and high concentration of investment will lead to the lack of liquidity and the risk of default. In addition, the payment and circulation of e-money rely heavily on all kinds of networks, and there are all kinds of operational risks, such as deliberate embezzlement of other people's accounts, internal crimes of issuing institutions and malicious intrusion of hackers, which will damage the interests of e-money holders. Bitcoin, Ruitai and other digital currencies are suitable.

4. Digital currency is abbreviated as digiccy, which is the abbreviation of "digital currency" in English. It is an alternative currency in the form of electronic currency. Both digital gold coin and cryptocurrency belong to digiccy
digital currency is a kind of unregulated and digital currency, which is usually issued and managed by developers and accepted and used by members of specific virtual communities. The European Banking authority defines virtual currency as a digital representation of value, which is not issued by the central bank or authorities, nor linked with legal currency. However, because it is accepted by the public, it can be used as a means of payment, or it can be transferred, stored or traded in electronic form
according to the notice on preventing the financing risk of token issuance, there is no approved digital currency trading platform in China. According to China's digital currency regulatory framework, investors have the freedom to participate in digital currency transactions at their own risk

5.

At present, there are mainly two regulations about virtual currency in China. In 2013, many ministries and commissions issued the notice on prevention of bitcoin risk, giving important tips on bitcoin risk. On September 4, 2017, the central bank and other seven ministries and commissions jointly announced again that the first token issue was an unauthorized illegal financing

According to Zhao, there are various ways to launder money by using digital currency. For example, technical means may be used to transfer funds into the cryptocurrency system, and then deploy various transfer addresses, making it difficult to query its transaction path. In other words, money laundering promoted by technological progress is more and more difficult to be detected and prevented. In addition, it has cross regional characteristics, and the lack of global response mechanism exacerbates this situation

6. The following is for reference only:
very large
in the field of blockchain and virtual currency, such cases of losses caused by the security of exchanges occur frequently, causing great economic losses to users. The security experts of Juhui ggfx also gave a hint: there are still many loopholes in the current digital currency trading platform, for example, the most common are the following six kinds:
the first kind: denial of service attack
denial of service attack is the most important attack against the digital currency trading platform at present. Through denial of service attack, the attacker makes the trading platform unable to access normally, Because users can not accurately distinguish the degree of attack, it often causes panic asset transfer, which brings some loss
the second kind: phishing
even the best technical measures at present can not make the digital currency trading platform avoid phishing attacks. Some hackers and outlaws can confuse digital currency investors by means of fake domain names or fake pages, while ordinary investors can't identify the authenticity, so it's easy to cause asset losses
the third: Hot wallet protection
many digital currency trading platforms use a single private key to protect the hot wallet. If hackers can access a single private key, they can crack the hot wallet related to the private key. For example, in the attack on yapizon of Seoul stock exchange in 2017, the attackers stole hot wallets from the trading platform twice in a year, resulting in a total loss of nearly 50% of the assets of the trading platform and eventually leading to the bankruptcy of the trading platform
Fourth: internal attack
e to the lack of perfect risk isolation measures or ineffective supervision on the authority of employees, the digital currency trading platform also has employees' self-monitoring and stealing, and some employees with operating authority of the platform use internal trust to seek ill gotten gains for themselves. For example, in 2016, the event of employees stealing bitcoin on shapeshift caused a total loss of US $230000 to the trading platform by stealing and reselling sensitive information to others
the fifth: software vulnerability
the software vulnerability of digital currency trading platform includes single sign on vulnerability, OAuth protocol vulnerability, etc. At present, all countries have laws requiring banks or other financial institutions to implement information security measures to protect customers' deposits. However, e to the fact that the blockchain field is still in its infancy, there is a lack of such specifications for encrypting digital assets. Therefore, it is not accidental that many trading platforms have a large number of loopholes in the absence of security constraints
sixth: transaction malleability
Technical supporters of blockchain often think that blockchain transactions are highly secure because they are recorded on records that are said to be unchangeable, but each transaction needs to have a corresponding signature, and the records can be temporarily forged before the final confirmation of the transaction. Mt. GOx, which once accounted for 80% of the world's total transactions, was hacked to submit code changes to the public ledger before the initial transaction was released, resulting in a loss of 473 million US dollars< br /> &# 160;

7. There is also risk, but the risk is not as big as the stock investment, and it will not fluctuate as the stock. It is a popular investment now. I'm now investing in Tianyuan currency in Jiujiu trading network. This is digital currency. It's quite stable

8. There are many aspects of the investment risk of data currency. First of all, digital currency has no regularity of value, that is, it has no certain orientation in many aspects
