China made an announcement about cryptocurrencies
The People's Bank of China (PBoC) made a public announcement yesterday regarding cryptocurrencies. In the announcement, the PBOC said that the surge in cryptocurrency trading is disrupting the economic and financial order. The central bank said cryptos have also led to the spread of illegal and criminal activity. According to the PBoC, these crimes, such as gambling, illegal fundraising, fraud, pyramid schemes and money laundering, seriously endanger the safety of people's property.
The first item China's monetary authority drew attention to was "to establish that cryptocurrencies do not have the same legal status as legal currency". Therefore, the PBoC concluded that “cryptocurrency-related business activities are illegal financial activities.”
