中国互联网金融协会对部分交易风险不断进行风险提示。继提示ICO业务风险后，这一次，互金协会提醒投资者防范比特币等所谓“虚拟货币”风险。
The Internet Finance Association of China continuously provides risk alerts for some transactions. This time, after warning of ICO business risks, the Association warns investors against so-called “virtual currency” risks, such as Bitcoin.
虚拟货币已成为违法犯罪活动工具
Virtual currency has become a tool for criminal activity in violation of the law.
新华社昨天报道称，中国互联网金融协会13日发文提醒，比特币、莱特币以及各类代币等所谓“虚拟货币”在一些互联网平台进行集中交易，涉众人数逐渐扩大，所形成的金融和社会风险隐患不容忽视。
Xinhua reported yesterday that the Chinese Internet Finance Association had sent a reminder on 13 that so-called “virtual currencies”, such as Bitcoin, Latcoin and various forms of money, were being traded centrally on Internet platforms, that the number of people involved was growing and that the financial and social risks involved could not be ignored.
互金协会认为，比特币等所谓“虚拟货币”缺乏明确的价值基础，市场投机气氛浓厚，价格波动剧烈，投资者盲目跟风炒作，易造成资金损失，投资者需强化风险防范意识。
According to the Association, so-called “virtual currency”, such as Bitcoin, lacks a clear value base, market speculation is strong, prices are highly volatile, investors are blind and prone to financial losses, and investors need to be more risk-proof.
值得注意的是，比特币等所谓“虚拟货币”日益成为洗钱、贩毒、走私、非法集资等违法犯罪活动工具，投资者应保持警惕，发现违法犯罪活动线索应立即报案。
It is worth noting that so-called “virtual currency”, such as Bitcoin, is increasingly used as a tool for criminal activities, such as money-laundering, drug trafficking, smuggling and illegal fund-raising, and investors should be vigilant and should immediately report any leads they may find to criminal activities in violation of the law.
各类所谓“币”交易平台无合法“身份”
Various so-called “currency” trading platforms have no legal “identity”
互金协会指出，投资者通过比特币等所谓“虚拟货币”的交易平台参与投机炒作，面临价格大幅波动风险、安全性风险等，且平台技术风险也较高，国际上已发生多起交易平台遭黑客入侵盗窃事件，投资者须自行承担投资风险。
The Association notes that investors are involved in speculative campaigns through so-called “virtual currency” trading platforms such as Bitcoin, that they are exposed to high price volatility, security risks, etc., and that platform technology risks are high, and that there have been multiple international hacking and thefts of trading platforms, with investors taking the risk of investing on their own.
不法分子也往往利用交易平台获取所谓“虚拟货币”以从事相关非法活动，存在较大的法律风险，各类所谓“币”的交易平台在我国并无合法设立的依据。
Irregulars also often use trading platforms to obtain so-called “virtual currency” for related illegal activities, with greater legal risk that various types of so-called “currency” trading platforms are not legally established in our country.
互金协会呼吁各会员单位不参与任何与所谓“虚拟货币”相关的集中交易或为此类交易提供服务。
The Association calls upon its members to refrain from engaging in or providing services for any centralized transactions related to the so-called “virtual currency”.
虚拟货币交易平台存在诸多乱象
There's a lot of confusion about the virtual money exchange platform.
比特币等“虚拟货币”交易平台存在诸多乱象。比如：比特币，其价格从500元/枚一路飙升至32350元/枚，价格飙升幅度之大令市场咂舌，这样的高风险投资缺少合格投资人准入制度。由于去中心化，交易难以被监管部门监控，成为洗钱者和逃避外汇管制者的乐园。
For example, Bitcoin, whose prices soared from $500 to $32350, and whose prices soared in the market, lacked a system of access for qualified investors. As a result of decentralization, transactions were difficult to monitor by the regulatory authorities and became a haven for money launderers and those who evaded foreign exchange controls.
值得注意的是，互金协会在8月30日发布ICO风险提示，央行等七部委在9月4日出手对ICO投机融资活动进行取缔。此次互金协会就比特币等“虚拟货币”提示风险，“虚拟货币”是否会步ICO后尘有待观察。综合新华社、《21世纪经济报道》等
It is worth noting that on August 30, the Association issued an ICO risk alert, and the Central Bank and seven other ministries banned ICO speculative financing on September 4th. The Association raised the risk of “virtual currency” such as Bitcoin, and whether “virtual currency” would follow the ICO.
