中国收紧加密货币监管，使投资者更难交易比特币等数字资产

中国外汇监管机构宣布了针对高风险金融活动的新规定。这些规则将使内地投资者更难交易加密货币

China’s foreign exchange regulator has announced new rules targeting risky financial activities, making it harder for mainland investors to trade crypto such as Bitcoin.

中国外汇监管机构宣布了针对高风险金融活动的新规定，使内地投资者更难交易比特币等加密货币。

The State Administration of Foreign Exchange (SAFE) unveiled the new regulations last week. Under the new guidelines, banks are now required to monitor and report any risky foreign exchange activities, including underground banking, cross border gambling and any illegal activities that involve cryptocurrencies.

国家外汇管理局（SAFE）上周公布了新规定。根据新的指导方针，银行现在必须监控和报告任何有风险的外汇活动，包括地下钱庄、跨境赌博和任何涉及加密货币的非法活动。

Moreover, banks are also instructed to scrutinize all these obtained activities based on the identities of these parties, the source of funds and the frequency of these transactions.

此外，银行还被指示根据这些当事人的身份、资金来源和交易频率来审查所有这些获得的活动。

As part of the broader strategy to tighten control of cryptocurrency trade and the country’s financial system, banks are also obliged to take risk control measures. To do so, they must restrict services to any risky activity entities.

作为加强对加密货币交易和国家金融体系控制的更广泛战略的一部分，银行也有义务采取风险控制措施。为此，他们必须限制向任何有风险的活动实体提供服务。

The move is in line with China’s sustained campaign against digital currencies. Bitcoins have been banned in China, and all Bitcoin operations have been illegal since 2021. Since their inception, cryptocurrencies have effectively been prohibited in that country. In addition, the government continuously enhanced its regulations to eradicate the influence of digital assets.

此举符合中国持续打击数字货币的行动。比特币在中国已被禁止，自 2021 年以来所有比特币操作都是非法的。自诞生以来，加密货币在该国实际上已被禁止。此外，政府不断加强监管，消除数字资产的影响。

China Continues Ban on Crypto Mining and Trading Remains Firm

中国继续禁止加密货币挖矿和交易

China started controlling cryptocurrencies in 2017. During that time, ICOs were banned and the government ordered cryptocurrency exchanges to shut down. In 2021 once authorities banned bitcoin mining, the crackdown intensified. This is how China has pretty much entirely put an end to any legal cryptocurrency activity in its borders.

中国于 2017 年开始控制加密货币。在那段时间，ICO 被禁止，政府下令关闭加密货币交易所。 2021年，当局禁止比特币挖矿后，打击力度加大。这就是中国几乎完全结束其境内任何合法加密货币活动的方式。

While the interest in cryptocurrencies worldwide is growing, China remains unmoved. But some of the recent rally in bitcoin prices have also led to calls for a policy change away from the government’s capitulation to digital currencies.

尽管全球对加密货币的兴趣不断增长，但中国仍然不为所动。但最近比特币价格的上涨也引发了人们呼吁改变政府对数字货币的政策。

Using cryptocurrency for criminal activities is against the law, China’s Supreme People’s Court ruled in August 2023. This is adding to the legal risks for cryptocurrency traders in China. In addition, the Supreme People’s Procuratorate and SAFE (State Administration of Foreign Exchange) have both issued requests for further supervision on overseas exchange activities. Stablecoins like Tether fall into this, with stricter oversight required.

中国最高人民法院于 2023 年 8 月裁定，利用加密货币进行犯罪活动是违法的。这增加了中国加密货币交易者的法律风险。此外，最高人民检察院、国家外汇管理局均已发出要求，要求加强对境外兑换活动的监管。像 Tether 这样的稳定​​币就属于这种情况，需要更严格的监管。

However, with China enforcing such regulations, it is unknown whether such will affect the local and international cryptocurrency markets.

然而，随着中国实施此类法规，尚不清楚这是否会影响本地和国际加密货币市场。
