Hong Kong does not allow virtual currency trading

1. All virtual currency exchanges in China have been canceled, which should be illegal

2. Virtual currency mainly refers to the overseas market, so it is necessary to have an overseas bank account for virtual currency trading. At present, the most practical one is the Hong Kong bank account, which is not explicitly prohibited in Hong Kong, so it can be operated as long as the transaction complies with the bank regulations
of course, the Bank of Hong Kong can not directly open an account in the past, Banks in Hong Kong are no longer afraid of money laundering and fraud. They are domestic accounts
the landlord really wants to open a Hong Kong bank account, which we can help you to open successfully. The information is simple

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

extended information

virtual currency transactions are not protected by law:

according to the notice on preventing bitcoin risks issued by the people's Bank of China and other departments on December 3, 2013 and the announcement on preventing financing risks of token issuance issued by seven ministries and commissions including the people's Bank of China on September 4, 2017, virtual currency is not issued by monetary authorities, It is not a real currency because it does not have the monetary attributes of legal compensation and compulsion

in terms of nature, virtual currency should be a specific virtual commodity, which does not have the same legal status as currency, and can not and should not be used as currency in the market. Although citizens' investment and trading in other virtual currencies are personal freedom, they can not be protected by law

4. This platform is really deceptive. I hope you will not be cheated

5. At present, there is no clear regulatory department for such platforms

The legal currency of Hong Kong is Hong Kong dollar. In most cases, Hong Kong dollar can be used, as well as US dollar, euro, Japanese yen and RMB. Hong Kong is a free port. All currencies can be directly used for trading, but only Hong Kong dollars must be used

Hong Kong dollar, or Hong Kong dollar, is the legal currency in circulation in Hong Kong. According to the basic law of Hong Kong and the Sino British Joint Declaration, Hong Kong's autonomy includes the right to issue its own currency. Its formal ISO 4217 is called HKD for short; The mark is HK $. The Hong Kong Monetary Authority, Standard Chartered Bank (Hong Kong) Limited, Hongkong and Shanghai Banking Corporation Limited and Bank of China (Hong Kong) Limited announced on July 20, 2010 that they will launch the new series of Hong Kong dollar banknotes in 2010. Hong Kong has established a linked exchange rate system in which the issuance of Hong Kong dollar is linked to the US dollar. The US dollar held by the exchange fund supports the stability of Hong Kong dollar notes

the first banknotes in Hong Kong were issued by the Oriental Bank in 1845. Before the government passed the currency regulations in 1935, many banks issued banknotes, but these banknotes were mainly used for commercial transactions. The government only accepts the banknotes of some chartered banks as legal currency. After the Hong Kong government issued $5 coins in 1975, the issue of $5 notes ceased. In the 1990s, the government issued $10 coins, and banks stopped issuing $10 notes. Later, the Bank of China became one of the note issuing banks in Hong Kong. In 2002, the 10 yuan note was issued again by the monetary authority
