Virtual currency transaction in Japan
It can be divided into decentralized trading platform and centralized trading platform:
decentralized trading platform:
both have their own advantages and disadvantages, and they should be selected according to their own needs< br />
Japan is also the first country in the world to legislate on virtual currency. Just in April last year, Japan's "change of capital payment law" was formally established. Virtual currency is defined as having the function of currency and can be used for monetary payment. Moreover, some time ago, the tycoons of the domestic currency circle also went to Japan one after another to learn from Japan
Finally, the popularity of virtual currency in Japan is also the intentional guidance of the Japanese government. The emergence of virtual currency gives the Japanese government a new "future". The Japanese government hopes to establish a monetary system independent of the U.S. regulation through virtual currency, so as to revive its so-called great power statushowever, we should also see that Japan's too loose virtual monetary environment has also led to many negative problems. For example, the frequent theft of virtual currency makes the Japanese government have to intervene in the asset security of the virtual currency market. As a result, Japan has strengthened the supervision of virtual currency, and the virtual currency market has become a bit quiet - exchanges such as hotcoin and BIGone have even given up Japanese language services
the FSA said that it would put Japan's digital currency exchange under a comprehensive regulatory framework, including monitoring the internal system of the exchange, checking the customer asset protection mechanism, and possible on-site inspection. At the same time, the FSA requires digital currency exchanges including bitcoin to implement a more stringent KYC policy than at present. Exchanges must begin to verify the identity of account users, keep transaction records, and report suspicious transactions to regulators
the conditions for the registration and establishment of Japanese digital currency dealers:
the establishment of a Japanese corporate company
leasing Japanese office
three Japanese employees are employed, one of whom is a director of a Japanese company
Japanese companies open bank to company accounts
there is a normal trading system (Japanese version is not required)
provide KYC information (specifically prepare the government information list)
the services include company registration before obtaining the license, assistance in leasing office space, assistance in recruitment of company employees, preparation of audit reports in cooperation with accounting firms, AML and KYC reports, business plans, all compliance documents to be submitted to FSA prepared with Japanese law firms, and answering all questions raised by FSA
in the process of obtaining a digital currency dealer license and in the process of future operation, traders must employ at least three employees, at least one of whom has a digital currency or bitcoin background or financial background
follow up maintenance: first, ensure the normal operation of the Japanese office and the daily work system of employees. Annual financial and audit reports should be submitted to the financial department of Japan every year. The contents of the reports are large, including the transaction details of virtual currency, the number of customers, the number of traders, the handling fees, the amount of customers' funds, etc. After obtaining the license, all the operation related expenses need to be paid by the dealer.
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
Mt. gox2, the operator of the world's largest bitcoin exchange, announced on 28 February that it had applied to Tokyo District Court for bankruptcy protection because 850000 bitcoins on the trading platform had been stolen
I have always trusted btc123. In 2013, I first found the fxbtc mainland platform on btc123 to buy bitcoin, and fxbtc collapsed and lost a lot of bitcoin. At that time, I thought that the mainland platform was not very reliable. Then I found mycoin on btc123, the Hong Kong platform. Considering that the legal system in Hong Kong is more perfect and btc123 is an endorsement, it should be safer. So I bought 2 million bitcoin from huocoin.com and transferred it to the multi currency treasure in mycoin platform for storage!!! Often login multi currency account, has been able to log in, and every day there is interest payment. In February of 2015, I happened to see the news that the boss of the platform ran the road and Hong Kong's capital took 3 billion yuan away!!! Then the mainland economic investigation called the police and refused to accept it. It said that the office address was in Hong Kong and asked me to call Hong Kong to report to the police. The Hong Kong police station received a call saying that I should report to the police in the mainland, and bitcoin did not accept the call to report to the police. Finally, it said that I could report to the police online first. I called the police on the Internet, no news!!! Now call the day should not, call the ground not work!!!! I hope the media, the government or the police can help me. I can't say that I have no hard-earned money for 15 years! I wonder if we can sue btc123 together? What else can we do to rece the loss? Thank you
With regard to the digital currency which has soared tens of thousands of times before, various policies and news are constantly emerging. Bitcoin fell from the highest point of 130000 to about 40000, and Shanzhai digital coin even fell to 99%. But Xiangge said that the transaction will not end, but there will be periodic fluctuations. In the news of China financial news network, I communicated with senior people in the currency circle for the first time. When the news is all over the place and people are in a panic, the more we need to listen to the ideas and opinions of professionals. My friend, a Xiong, CEO of digital exchange, has experienced the whole process of digital currency take-off, development and adjustment. His current project is digital currency trading platform and related intelligent investment consultant. His thoughts and opinions are summarized as follows:
