七家协会联合提示！稳定币存在被用于洗钱等风险

Core Viewpoint - The Chinese Internet Finance Association and other regulatory bodies have issued a risk warning regarding illegal activities related to virtual currencies, highlighting the rise of fraudulent schemes disguised as stablecoins, air coins, and tokenized real-world assets, which threaten public financial security and disrupt economic order [1][2]. Group 1: Nature of Virtual Currencies - Virtual currencies are not issued by monetary authorities and do not hold the same legal status as national legal tender, making them unsuitable for circulation within China [2]. - Air coins, such as π coin, lack substantial technological innovation and clear commercial applications, with opaque issuance and operational mechanisms, leading to significant fraud and market manipulation issues [2]. Group 2: Risks Associated with Stablecoins and Tokenization - Stablecoins currently fail to meet customer identification and anti-money laundering requirements, posing risks of being used for money laundering, fundraising fraud, and illegal cross-border fund transfers [2]. - Tokenization of real-world assets through the issuance of tokens or other rights carries multiple risks, including false asset risks, operational failure risks, and speculative trading risks, with no approved activities by financial regulatory authorities in China [2]. Group 3: Illegal Financial Activities - Domestic institutions and individuals engaging in the exchange of legal tender for virtual currencies, issuance of real-world asset tokens, and related activities are suspected of illegal financial activities, including illegal token sales and unauthorized securities issuance [3]. - Foreign virtual currency service providers conducting business activities in China, either directly or indirectly, are also considered to be engaging in illegal financial activities, with domestic personnel providing services to these entities facing legal accountability [3].
