On Tuesday, China prohibited its financial institutions and payment companies from providing cryptocurrency-related services. That is, banks and online payment channels will not be able to provide services that involve registration, negotiation, clearing and settlement of digital currencies.
Apparently, this decision is due to the fact that speculative trade and the ups and downs in the prices of digital currencies infringe on the security and property of the people and thus disrupt the normal financial economic order.
Though the Asian country banned cryptocurrency exchanges, it didn t ban owning them. In 2019, the authorities explained the risks of this type of trade, saying that virtual currencies are are not supported by real value and commercial contracts are not protected by Chinese law.
