in #bitcoin7 years ago (edited)

Chinese media outlet Jinse.com has revealed that laws representing the utilization of virtual monetary forms in China will be instituted on October first 2017. Jinse states that Chinese cryptographic money directions were consolidated into the country's "General Principles of the Civil Law of the People's Republic of China" enactment, which was voted on and passed on March fifteenth.

Virtual Currencies Are Expected to Be Legislated As “Virtual Property” From October 1

Jinse has reported that the General Principles of the Civil Law of the People’s Republic of China, which is expected to come into effect on October 1st, will see Chinese cryptocurrency regulations implemented for the first time. The Jinse report suggests that cryptocurrencies will be treated as “virtual property” under Chinese law. Chinese academic, Professor Deng Jianpeng, stated that “bitcoin, [crypto]currency, etc. can be classified as virtual assets.”


The incorporation of virtual currencies into China’s “General Principles of the Civil Law” legislation suggests that China’s recent crackdown on virtual currency exchanges will not be expanded into a nationwide prohibition on the use and possession of cryptocurrencies. Jinse reinforces this inference, stating that “regulators have never mentioned the issue of prohibiting bitcoin from beginning to end, that is to say, the government level does not think that there is a problem with the bitcoin itself”- according to a Google translation.


Jinse asserts that the crackdown on exchanges was motivated by “small platform[s]… not seriously implement[ing] anti-money laundering and KYC policy” requirements. The publication also cites the decision to allow China’s major cryptocurrency exchanges to reopen following PBOC investigations, implying that the recent crackdown on cryptocurrency exchanges is temporary, and should not be interpreted as a general prohibition on cryptocurrency


Two Chinese Bitcoin Exchanges Will Be Operational When the Legislation Comes Into Effect

Toward the begin of the month, news.bitcoin.com detailed the Chinese government declaration to broaden its prohibition on ICOs and command the conclusion of all digital currency trades working in China. All trades were required to close down their operations by October first. Nonetheless, reports rose expressing that Okcoin and Huobi would be allowed to keep on operating until the finish of October. 


This week, driving bitcoin trade BTCC quit tolerating stores in Yuan and digital forms of money. In spite of the fact that the trade will stop all exchanging operations by September 31 2017, BTCC has expressed that it will keep on processing withdrawals until October 31 2017. The Chinese government's choice to stop the operations of all digital money trades with the exception of Okcoin and Huobi just before the country's virtual cash directions are set to become effective, has prompted theory that the surviving trades might be the main cryptographic money trades allowed to work in China pushing ahead
