EU digital currency regulation

2. Every country has brought bitcoin and other digital currencies into the regulatory system. Although the regulatory progress and attitude are different, the regulation of digital currencies in different countries is mainly carried out from the following five aspects:
first, classify the legal nature of digital currencies and establish their legal status
the identification of the nature of digital currency has always been the core issue of legal supervision
Second, regulate ICO to protect the rights and interests of investors
thirdly, we should adopt the license system to supervise the legal qualification of digital currency start-ups< Fourth, the digital currency trading platform and private users should be included in the anti money laundering laws and regulations to prevent money laundering activities
fifthly, rece or exempt bitcoin transaction tax or formulate regulatory exemption privileges to relax the regulation of digital currency instry.

3. ​ 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.
