2025 年 7 月 2 日，中国人民银行一纸《贵金属和宝石从业机构反洗钱和反恐怖融资管理办法》震动金融界。自 8 月 1 日起，境内贵金属和宝石从业机构对 单笔或日累计 10 万元以上现金交易，需在 5 个工作日内向中国反洗钱监测分析中心提交大额交易报告。这一政策犹如一枚深水炸弹，在黄金市场激起千层 浪，其背后折射出监管层对洗钱风险的精准狙击。 一、政策出鞘：堵住贵金属交易监管漏洞 此次新规最显著的变化，是将现金交易报告门槛从 2017 年的 5 万元大幅提升至 10 万元。这并非放松监管，而是监管智慧的体现 —— 通过提高门槛聚焦高 风险交易，同时搭配可疑交易零容忍上报机制，让洗钱分子更容易暴露。数据显示，2024 年涉贵金属洗钱案同比激增 67%，上海反诈中心监测到，诈骗分 子往往上午得手、下午买金、晚上资金出境，形成 "教科书级" 洗钱链条。 新规覆盖范围空前扩大，从上海黄金交易所到街边小金铺，只要经营范围含贵金属现货交易，一律纳入监管网。这意味着，即便贵金属交易仅为企业副业， 仍需履行反洗钱义务。例如，东莞警方曾破获的洗钱案中，诈骗团伙用赃款在 12 家金店购买 22 公斤黄金，再熔铸成无标识金块跨 ...

Core Viewpoint - The recent news regarding the requirement to report cash transactions over 100,000 RMB for precious metals purchases is primarily aimed at combating money laundering and terrorist financing, and it is expected to have minimal impact on ordinary consumers' purchasing behavior [1][2][3]. Regulatory Framework - The new regulation, titled "Management Measures for Anti-Money Laundering and Anti-Terrorist Financing for Precious Metals and Gemstone Practitioners," mandates that institutions must perform anti-money laundering duties for cash transactions exceeding 100,000 RMB or its equivalent in foreign currency, effective from August 1, 2025 [2][6]. - The regulation applies to various entities involved in the precious metals and gemstones industry, including retail and recycling businesses [3][4]. Impact on Consumers - Individual consumers purchasing precious metals or jewelry will only be affected if they use cash exceeding 100,000 RMB; transactions made via credit or debit cards are exempt from this requirement [3][4]. - Experts indicate that cash transactions over this threshold are uncommon among individual consumers, suggesting that the regulation will not significantly disrupt normal purchasing activities [4]. Rationale for Cash Limit - The 100,000 RMB cash limit is designed to balance regulatory effectiveness with cost considerations, aligning with international standards for anti-money laundering practices [6][7]. - This limit is consistent with international guidelines, where cash transactions above approximately 10,750 RMB (15,000 USD) require customer due diligence [7]. Industry Context - The inclusion of precious metals and gemstones in anti-money laundering regulations is deemed necessary due to the high value density and liquidity of these assets, which can facilitate money laundering and terrorist financing activities [8][9]. - The new measures are part of a broader effort to enhance compliance and regulatory oversight in the industry, responding to the evolving nature of money laundering techniques [10].

Core Viewpoint - The new regulations implemented by the People's Bank of China on August 1 aim to strengthen anti-money laundering measures in the precious metals sector, marking a significant upgrade in the financial regulatory framework in China [1][3].

Group 2: Impact on Industry - The new regulations are expected to disproportionately affect small and medium-sized enterprises, which will face increased compliance costs and operational changes [3][5]. - The transition to a more regulated environment may lead to industry consolidation, as smaller players may struggle to meet the new compliance requirements [3][5]. - The implementation of these regulations is seen as a precursor to the future rollout of digital currency in China, enhancing the transparency of cash transactions [4][5]. Group 3: Future Outlook - The regulatory changes may lead to the emergence of new business models, such as "gold exchanges + blockchain," as the industry adapts to the new compliance landscape [5]. - The overall goal of these regulations is to modernize China's financial governance capabilities, ensuring that the precious metals market evolves from a less regulated environment to a more structured and compliant one [5].
