Does China still allow bitcoin trading

1.

although bitcoin still has great risks, after years of development, with the increase of its application population, application scenarios and application technology, no country or organization can completely eliminate it. If you can figure it out, it is likely that countries will generally accept bitcoin and embrace it

according to my personal judgment, bitcoin, after a period of continuous development, is likely to become a world currency in the future, which can play the role of electronic gold and become the target of the value of other sovereign currencies. From this perspective, bitcoin can be used as a means of asset preservation in the future when inflation is inevitable

2.

Unfortunately, bitcoin is no longer tradable in mainland China. Bitcoin China announced that it will stop all trading business on September 30, 2017

development information:

after bitcoin China and microbit, the bitcoin trading platforms in Shanghai and Shenzhen, respectively announced that they would close their trading business on September 30, 2017, on the evening of September 15, two other large domestic bitcoin trading platforms, Huo coin.com and okcoin.com, headquartered in Beijing, announced that they would suspend their registration from 21:30 on September 15, 2017 RMB recharge business; All users will be informed before September 30 that they are about to stop trading, and the trading business of all digital assets against RMB will be graally stopped before October 31

according to worldcoindex data, since September 1, bitcoin has dropped from $4800 to $3655, a drop of 24%, and its market value has shrunk by nearly $20 billion

in the same period, the decline of ether currency and Wright currency was 37.5% and 31% respectively. Over the past two weeks, Leyte currency has declined by more than 40% on the three major domestic trading platforms

3. The central bank said it would crack down on "virtual currency" related activities suspected of illegal fund-raising. At present, the national ICO platform and bitcoin and other virtual currency trading places have basically realized risk-free exit. The central bank made the above statement at the ministerial joint meeting on the disposal of illegal fund-raising
it is reported that in the special rectification work of the risk of non bank payment institutions, the central bank has severely cracked down on unlicensed institutions, rectified illegal trading venues, and "micro disk" transaction payment and settlement business, blocking the channels of illegal fund-raising; For the virtual currency trading places such as ICO and bitcoin, which are suspected of illegal fund-raising and securities activities, the central bank will timely issue an announcement with relevant departments to clarify the attitude, warn of risks, and deploy various regions to carry out rectification
the central bank said that in the next step, it will continue to do a good job in six aspects in accordance with the opinions of the State Council on further prevention and disposal of illegal fund-raising. First, it will cooperate with the Ministry of justice to promote the promulgation of the regulations on the disposal of illegal fund-raising and the regulations on non deposit lending organizations. Second, closely monitor the operation of private lending interest rates, guide the rationalization of private lending interest rates, uses and ways of borrowing, and rece the living space of illegal fund-raising activities. Third, continue to rely on the anti money laundering system to monitor illegal fund-raising. Fourth, we will continue to prevent and resolve Internet financial risks together with relevant member units of the leading group for special rectification of Internet financial risks. Fifthly, we should strengthen the construction of social credit system, build a joint incentive system for keeping promise and a joint punishment system for breaking promise, and create an honest and trustworthy credit environment. Sixth, continue to do a good job in protecting the rights and interests of financial consumers
according to the statistics of the joint conference office, there were 5052 new suspected cases of illegal fund-raising in 2017, involving 179.55 billion yuan, a year-on-year decrease of 2.8% and 28.5%. However, the total number of cases is still at a high level, the number of people involved in fund-raising continues to rise, cross provincial cases continue to occur frequently, and major cases involving many provinces and even the whole country still occur from time to time, and the overall situation is still grim.

4. Official and legal platforms have been closed, and recharge has been suspended. They can download but can't trade. There are still a lot of platforms and swindler apps that are transferred overseas,

5.

There is no law in China to ban bitcoin, so it is not illegal to mine and earn bitcoin

it is not illegal to buy bitcoin in China. In 2013, five ministries and commissions jointly issued the bitcoin risk notice, which states that although bitcoin does not belong to legal tender and is not legally compulsory, people can freely participate in bitcoin trading activities when they voluntarily undertake risks

< H2 > extended materials < H2 >

"notice" clearly defines the nature of bitcoin, and holds that bitcoin is not issued by the monetary authority, has no monetary attributes such as legal compensation and mandatory, and is not a real currency. In terms of nature, bitcoin is a specific virtual commodity, which does not have the same legal status as currency and cannot and should not be used as currency in the market

however, as a kind of commodity trading on the Internet, ordinary people have the freedom to participate in bitcoin trading at their own risk

the notice requires that at this stage, financial institutions and Payment institutions shall not price procts or services with bitcoin, buy or sell bitcoin as a central counterparties, underwrite insurance business related to bitcoin or include bitcoin in the scope of insurance liability, and provide other bitcoin related services to customers directly or indirectly, Including: providing bitcoin registration, trading, clearing, settlement and other services for customers; Accept bitcoin or use bitcoin as a payment and settlement tool; Carry out bitcoin and RMB and foreign currency exchange services; Carry out bitcoin storage, custody, mortgage and other services; Issuing financial procts related to bitcoin; Take bitcoin as the investment target of trust, fund, etc

in order to avoid over hype of virtual commodities such as bitcoin in the name of "virtual currency" and damage the public interest and the legal tender status of RMB, the circular requires financial institutions and Payment institutions to correctly use the concept of currency in their daily work, pay attention to strengthening the ecation of the public's knowledge of currency, and correctly understand the concept of currency The concept of correctly treating virtual commodity and virtual currency, rational investment, reasonable control of investment risk, and maintenance of their own property security should be included in the content of financial knowledge popularization activities, so as to guide the public to establish a correct concept of currency and investment
