The current situation of virtual currency supervision
although the management of virtual currency is difficult, it can be regulated and punished according to the banking law, criminal law and other relevant laws and regulations for example, the people's Bank of China stipulates that financial institutions and Payment institutions are not allowed to handle settlement for virtual currency, so there is no trading market for virtual currency in China. However, although there is no settlement market in China, virtual currency may choose to settle overseas, because virtual currency is attached to the Internet and can settle in any country and it will be more difficult to manage by building a virtual currency trading platform in a foreign website for people to trade. In China, there are also some third-party payment institutions that secretly provide settlement services for virtual currency, which brings some difficulties to supervision at present, formal payment and settlement institutions are not allowed to provide settlement channels for virtual currency transactions, but informal institutions may still provide settlement services secretly. Even if the informal institutions are cleaned up, some people may choose to go abroad to carry out similar acts extended information: for the supervision of virtual currency, we should focus on preventing any form of virtual currency from replacing the function of RMB and engaging in illegal acts through virtual currency, that is, strengthening the supervision of the function and use of virtual currency. We should focus on whether virtual currency is used as currency, not only from the object form of currency to see whether it belongs to forgery and alteration of RMB any object exercising monetary function within the territory of the people's Republic of China violates the relevant provisions of the law of the people's Bank of China. The virtual currency in the form of code, as long as it is used as currency, is equivalent to counterfeit currency in nature. It can be supervised and punished according to the law of the people's Bank of China and the criminal law source of reference: People's Daily - experts in cracking down on virtual currency transactions in many places: key regulatory functions

1. It is illegal to have a financial trading platform that is not recognized by China Securities Regulatory Commission and China Banking and Insurance Regulatory Commission.

In China, there are bitcoin, Leyte coin, Ruitai coin, etc. the income of these virtual currencies has been blown to be amazing. People who listen to these virtual currencies will be envious and have new illusions. They don't know that this is just a Ponzi scheme, and the virtual currency trading platform will trick investors into inviting them, After the investors' funds are cheated, there will be a series of figures. Some of them will fall sharply as soon as they buy, and smart people can stop losses.

in view of the possible risks of virtual currency, many international organizations and central banks have responded publicly to the supervision of virtual currency system. These responses can be roughly divided into four categories: warning and risk warning, supervision and registration permission, legislative norms, and explicit prohibition
(1) warning and risk warning
some central banks and regulators have issued risk warnings against the special currency and virtual currency system. The federal financial regulatory authority of Germany, the Bank of France, the central banks of the Netherlands and Belgium have issued public warnings against the possible money laundering and terrorist financing caused by the use of bitcoin. In the report released at the end of 2013, the European Banking authority (EBA) warned consumers of many risks of virtual currency, such as exchange loss, e-wallet theft, unprotected payment, price fluctuation and so on. Although Spain did not have a similar risk warning, it issued a timely information announcement related to virtual currency
(2) supervision and registration license
generally speaking, international organizations believe that the supervision of virtual currency should find a balance between risk prevention and innovation promotion. Since 2012, Sweden has required transactions related to virtual currency to be registered with financial regulators. Other countries pay attention to qualification supervision, so as to make it indirectly meet the requirements of prudential supervision. In other countries, the regulation mainly focuses on the business model of virtual currency transaction. The financial prudential regulatory authority of France regards the provision of bitcoin circulation and trading services and the act of earning funds in the process as a payment service and requires the authorization of the government. In addition, some countries focus on the intermediary institutions related to virtual currency. The German federal financial regulatory agency and Danish regulators believe that the provision of intermediary services for virtual currency needs to be authorized< (3) legislative norms
at present, some countries have proposed legislation to regulate virtual currency transactions. Canada plans to legislate to allow the government to supervise the transaction of bitcoin, and to include the transaction of more than US $10000 into the scope of suspicious supervision. The United States hopes to adjust the relevant legal structure should be compared with the development of the special currency. In order to make the Bank Secrecy Act (BSA) applicable in the context of network, the financial crime enforcement network (FinCEN) of the U.S. Department of the Treasury issued the explanatory guidance on the behavior and subject definition of private generation, holding, distribution, trading, acceptance and transmission of virtual currency in 2013. The European central bank stressed that it should strengthen international cooperation under the existing legal framework, and regulate virtual currency from the European and global level under the existing legal framework. More countries believe that bitcoin is not a currency in circulation, has no legal status, and does not meet the definition of financial instruments, such as Finland, Sweden, Malaysia and Indonesia
(4) it is forbidden
in some countries, bitcoin related transactions are prohibited. In December 2013, the people's Bank of China banned financial institutions from trading in bitcoin, which was subsequently extended to payment service providers. The central banks of Thailand and Indonesia share the same attitude. The circulation of anonymous internet currency (including bitcoin) is prohibited by the Russian judicial inspection department as a substitute for currency. The Central Bank of Russia has earlier included the provision of bitcoin services in the scope of suspicious transaction monitoring. The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has banned the issue of unregistered shares in exchange for bitcoin, and unregistered online securities trading activities in virtual currency.
virtual currency lacks supervision and is too free; Therefore, China's current virtual currency is still in a serious regulatory scope; Of course, the research on virtual currency blockchain technology is worth trying.
