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
The contract transaction of digital currency is not safe. There are still many loopholes in the digital currency trading platform, for example, the most common are the following six kinds:
1. 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
2. Phishing incident
even the best technical measures at present can not make the digital currency trading platform avoid phishing attacks. Some hackers and criminals 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
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, e to the lack of perfect risk isolation measures, or ineffective supervision on the rights of employees, some employees who have the operation rights of the platform use internal trust to seek unjust wealth 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 Fifth, the software vulnerability of digital currency trading platform includes single sign on vulnerability, OAuth protocol vulnerability and so on. 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 6. Transaction malleability the 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 forged temporarily before the final confirmation of the transaction

rules of contract transaction
1. Transaction time
contract transaction is 7 * 24 hours transaction, which will be interrupted only ring the settlement or delivery period of 16:00 (UTC + 8) every Friday. In the last 10 minutes before delivery, the contract can only be closed, not opened
Transaction types are divided into two types, opening and closing. Opening and closing positions are divided into two directions: buying and selling:buying open long (bullish) refers to buying a certain number of contracts when users are bullish and bullish on the index. Carry out "buy open more" operation, match success will increase long position
selling pingo (multi order closing) refers to the selling contract that the user makes up for when he is no longer bullish on the future index, offsets with the current buying contract and exits the market. Carry on "sell flat much" operation, match after success, will rece long position
short selling (bearish) refers to the new sale of a certain number of certain contracts when the user is short or bearish on the index. Carry out the operation of "sell short" and increase the short position after successful matching
buy close (short single close) refers to the buy contract that the user will not be bearish on the future index market and make up for, offset with the current sell contract and exit the market. Carry out "buy short" operation, after matching successfully, short position will be reced
3. Order method
limit order: the user needs to specify the price and quantity of the order. Limit order can be used for opening and closing positions
order at opposite price: if you choose to order at opposite price, you can only enter the order quantity, not the order price. The system will read the latest competitor price at the moment of receiving the entrustment (if the user buys, the competitor price is the selling price of 1); If it is a sell, then the counter price is buy 1 price). Issue a price limit order for this counter price
4. Position
the user owns the position after opening and trading, and the positions in the same direction of the same contract will be merged. In a contract account, there can only be 6 positions at most, that is, multiple positions of current week contract, short positions of current week contract, multiple positions of next week contract, short positions of next week contract, multiple positions of quarterly contract and short positions of quarterly contract
5. Order restriction
the platform will restrict the number of single user's positions in a certain period of contract and the number of single open / close positions, so as to prevent users from manipulating the market
when the number of positions or entrustments of users is too large, the platform has the right to require users to take risk control measures, including but not limited to cancellation of orders, closing positions, etc. The platform has the right to adopt measures including but not limited to limiting the total number of positions, limiting the total number of consignments, limiting the opening of positions, withdrawing orders, forcibly closing positions, etc. for risk control
The real digital currency is issued by the state, based on the national credit, and stored in the form of electronic data. This is the national legal currency that can be circulated. So far, no country has issued digital currency, so has China. Therefore, anyone claiming to be a digital currency issued by the state is a fraud
the mode of digital currency trading through operating companies is as follows: take Ruibo coin as an example, Ruibo coin is operated by professional operating company opencoin, ripple protocol was originally designed based on means of payment, and the design idea is based on acquaintance network and trust chain. To use ripple network for remittance or loan
the premise is that in the network, the payee and the payer must be friends, or have common friends (through the transmission of friends to form a trust chain), otherwise the trust chain between the user and other users cannot be established, and the transfer cannot be carried out
extended data:
transaction mode:
at present, digital currency is more like an investment proct, because it lacks a strong guarantee agency to maintain its price stability, and its role as a value measure has not yet appeared, so it can not be used as a means of payment. As an investment proct, digital currency cannot develop without trading platform, operating company and investors
trading platforms act as trading agents, and some of them act as market makers. The profits of these trading platforms come from investors' transaction or withdrawal fees and premium income from holding digital currency. Bitstamp, gathub, ripple Singapore, snapswap, Japan's Mt. GOx and China's new star Ruihu are the platforms with large trading volume
If the blockchain is really implemented, then a certain treasure of the third party will have no real significance. The characteristic of blockchain is decentralization, which enables participants to establish a trust system, and adopts distributed layout for bank bookkeeping
pure digital currency transaction does not involve capital flow. Customers' transactions are first concted by purchasing usdt from websites or mainstream websites such as Huo coin.com
the trading procts are six mainstream currencies: BTC (bitcoin), ETH (Ethereum), XRP (reborn currency), LTC (lightcoin), EOS and BCH
