Virtual currency trading policy
at the end of 2013, the central bank and other five ministries and commissions jointly issued the bitcoin risk notice, in which bitcoin was clearly defined as a special Internet commodity, and people could buy and sell freely at their own risk, denying its monetary attribute. At this stage, financial institutions are not allowed to provide bitcoin related services. The transaction platform supporting its transaction must do a good job in anti money laundering< In an interview with the Boao Forum, President Yang Xiaochuan compared bitcoin to a tradable asset like a stamp, which the central bank has no right to ban
since 2013, popular virtual currencies include bitcoin, Laite coin, Fuyuan coin, doggy coin, reborn coin, etc.
China's regulatory authorities have stopped the issuance and trading of virtual currency, and China's policy does not allow the issuance of any virtual currency
Zhou Xiaochuan, governor of the central bank, said at last year's Boao Forum that bitcoin, like stamps collected by stamp collectors, has collection value, and people regard it as an asset to trade rather than a payment currency, so there is no question of banning it for the central bank. This is also the only time central bank governor Zhou Xiaochuan has made a statement on the currency
in the bitcoin risk notice issued by the central bank and other five ministries and commissions at the end of 2013, bitcoin was clearly defined as a special Internet commodity, which people can buy and sell freely under the premise of free but risk, denying its monetary attribute. At this stage, all financial hooks are not allowed to provide bitcoin related services
since 2013, the popular virtual currencies are bitcoin, Fuyuan coin, Laite coin, doggy coin and so on.
There are two reasons for the prohibition of virtual currency trading by the state:
1. The price fluctuates violently and the consumer protection is lacking:
virtual currency is the proct of network, and the digital information flowing in the network is beyond everyone's control. The code of cyberspace is the basis of the operation of virtual currency, investors can only operate through the front-end interface, seemingly "control" the virtual currency. The operator of the virtual currency service organization may become the actual controller of the virtual currency through the control code
bitcoin and other so-called "virtual currencies" lack a clear value basis, the market is full of speculative atmosphere, the price fluctuates violently, and investors blindly follow suit, which is easy to cause capital losses
2. Evade supervision and become the "accomplice" of criminal activities:
bitcoin is popular as a payment tool in the so-called "dark web" world“ The "dark net" is full of all kinds of serious criminal activities. One of the original intentions of the invention of bitcoin is to evade regulation. It has the characteristics of anonymity and convenient cross-border flow, and has become the preferred tool of "underground economy"
the existence of bitcoin and exchanges and other instrial chains has constructed a illegal financial market for asset transfer and financing in addition to legal currency, increased the difficulty of regulatory authorities in managing financial security and stability, and promoted regulatory arbitrage and financial crimes. The risks and social security risks it brings to the financial market are far higher than its innovative value
