The central bank has made a heavy punch! Talking about banks and payment institutions, virtual currency has been fatally hit.

Overnight, cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin suffered a serial crit!

After the mining machine was directly cut off by the local government, the central bank offered a big killer and directly interviewed some banks and payment institutions such as ICBC, China Construction Bank, Agricultural Bank of China and Alipay, asking them not to provide products or services such as account opening, registration, trading, clearing and settlement for related activities.

After the announcement of the central bank, Bitcoin plummeted rapidly, and the intraday decline once approached 10%, falling below $32,000/piece; Ethereum once fell more than 10% and fell below 1900 USD/piece; The currency An Coin and IDA Coin fell more than 5%, dogecoin fell nearly 16%, and Ripple Coin fell more than 8%. Compared with the highs of the year, virtual currencies such as Bitcoin and Ethereum all fell by more than 50%.

After being interviewed, major banks have issued statements to "draw a clear line" with virtual currency. The statement said that it is forbidden to use company services for virtual currency transactions such as Bitcoin. Once found, measures such as suspending relevant account transactions and terminating financial services will be taken immediately.

Alipay also responded that it is determined not to carry out or participate in any business activities related to virtual currency. Once businesses are found to be engaged in virtual currency transactions, they will be blacklisted and follow-up cooperation will be prohibited.

The central bank launched a fierce attack.

On the afternoon of June 2 1, the People's Bank of China announced that the relevant departments of the People's Bank of China had recently interviewed some banks and payment institutions such as China Industrial and Commercial Bank, China Agricultural Bank, China Construction Bank, Postal Savings Bank, Industrial Bank and Alipay (China) Network Technology Co., Ltd.

According to official website, in order to thoroughly implement the relevant decision-making arrangements of the CPC Central Committee and the State Council, implement the spirit of the fifty-first plenary session of the the State Council Financial Committee, severely crack down on speculation in virtual currency transactions such as Bitcoin, protect people's property safety, and maintain financial security and stability, the relevant departments of the People's Bank of China recently interviewed China Industrial and Commercial Bank, China Agricultural Bank, China Construction Bank, Postal Savings Bank, Industrial Bank, and Alipay (China) on the issue of banks and payment institutions providing services for virtual currency transactions speculation.

Participating institutions indicated that they would attach great importance to this work, not carry out or participate in virtual currency-related business activities in accordance with the relevant requirements of the People's Bank of China, further intensify investigation and disposal, and take strict measures to resolutely cut off the fund payment link of virtual currency trading speculation.

Virtual currencies such as Bitcoin plummeted.

After the announcement of the central bank, the price of virtual currency plunged rapidly, and the intraday decline of Bitcoin once approached 10%, falling below $32,000/piece. Ethereum once fell below 10% and below 1.900 USD/piece; The currency An Coin and IDA Coin fell more than 5%, dogecoin fell nearly 16%, and Ripple Coin fell more than 8%.

According to the data of Bitcoin House, in the past 24 hours, the number of short positions in the cryptocurrency market exceeded 65.438+0.7 million, and the amount of short positions exceeded 6.5 billion yuan.

Since the peak of $64,800 on April 14, Bitcoin has been adjusted continuously for more than two months, with a cumulative decline of 50%. Since the peak of $43,765,438+0 per piece reached on May 65,438+02, 2002, Ethereum has dropped by 54%.

Tesla CEO Musk is known as the "king of goods" of Bitcoin. His shouting often leads to the skyrocketing price of Bitcoin. In February this year, Tesla's documents submitted to the US Securities and Exchange Commission showed that the company purchased Bitcoin worth $65.438+$50 million, and the purchase cost was less than $35,000 each. During the period when Bitcoin broke through $60,000, Tesla's floating profit of speculative coins once exceeded 80%, and the floating profit exceeded $654.38+02 billion (about RMB 7.9 billion). Although Tesla recently sold about 10% of its bitcoin position, with the sharp drop in bitcoin prices, Tesla's investment may be close to a loss.

Cai Wensheng, chairman of Meitu, also claimed to be a big fan of Bitcoin. Meitu, a Hong Kong-listed company, has purchased cryptocurrency for three consecutive times. As of April 8 this year, Meitu has accumulated a net purchase of cryptocurrency worth about $654.38 billion.

According to the calculation, Meitu spent a total of 49.5 million US dollars to purchase 940.885 bitcoins, with a cost of about 52,600 US dollars/piece; In addition, Meitu also purchased 3 1 000 pieces of Ethereum for a total price of 50.5 million US dollars, and the cost of each piece was about 1 629 US dollars.

According to the latest bitcoin price of 32 1 1,000 USD/piece, Meitu's investment loss in Bitcoin is 20,500 USD/piece, with a floating loss ratio of 38.97% and a floating loss amount of 654.38+0,929 USD; According to the current price of $2,008 per Ethereum, the floating profit ratio of Meitu in Ethereum is 23.26%, and the floating profit amount is $65,438 +0 1.75 million. Based on comprehensive calculation, Meitu's floating loss on cryptocurrency is 7.54 million US dollars (about 48.77 million yuan). Before this round of bitcoin crash, Meitu's floating profit on cryptocurrency was as high as 65.438+86 billion yuan.

Major financial institutions have drawn a clear line with virtual currency.

After being interviewed by the central bank, on the evening of June 2 1, China Industrial and Commercial Bank, Agricultural Bank, China Construction Bank, Postal Savings Bank and Industrial Bank issued a statement saying that it was forbidden to use corporate services to conduct virtual currency transactions such as bitcoin. Once found, measures such as suspending relevant account transactions and terminating financial services will be taken immediately.

Industrial and Commercial Bank, Agricultural Bank, China Construction Bank, Postal Savings Bank and Industrial Bank all said:

Resolutely do not carry out or participate in any business activities related to virtual currency, and resolutely do not provide any financial products and services such as account opening, registration, trading, liquidation and settlement for virtual currency.

No institution or individual may use the account opened in our bank to conduct activities such as fund recharge, cash withdrawal, buying and selling related transaction recharge codes, and transferring funds related to virtual currency transactions.

We will continue to strengthen the daily monitoring and investigation of virtual currency transactions. Once the above-mentioned behaviors involving virtual currency transactions are discovered, we will immediately take measures such as suspending related account transactions and terminating financial services. Clues that violate laws and regulations will be reported to the relevant departments immediately.

Alipay: Merchants engaged in virtual currency transactions will be retired.

After being interviewed by the central bank, Alipay also issued a statement saying that it is determined not to carry out or participate in any business activities related to virtual currency. If any virtual currency transaction is found, Alipay will immediately stop related payment services. Once businesses are found to be engaged in virtual currency transactions, they will be blacklisted and follow-up cooperation will be prohibited.

Subsequently, the crackdown on related party transactions will be further intensified from four aspects:

1. Continue to closely monitor and investigate transactions involving virtual currency, establish a patrol system for key websites and accounts, and immediately ban them once found;

2. Strengthen the risk monitoring of payment transactions, prohibit virtual currency transfer transactions, deploy risk algorithm models, strengthen the monitoring of abnormal transactions, and limit the rights of suspicious payers and recipients;

4. Strengthen the risk warning of virtual currency, and strengthen user publicity and warning education through risk pop-ups and message push.

Collective power outage! The largest gathering place of miners in the world.

You not only unplugged the network cable, but also directly cut off the power! There is no doubt about the determination of local governments to crack down on bitcoin mining.

Since the the State Council Financial Committee requested to crack down on bitcoin mining and trading, all parts of the country have been taking urgent actions to "encircle" mining.

Recently, following the ban on mining in Inner Mongolia, Xinjiang, Qinghai, Yunnan and other places, Sichuan, the world's largest gathering place for bitcoin miners, has also made a heavy punch-collectively cutting off power to the mine!

Sichuan is the largest gathering place of bitcoin miners in China and even in the world. Prior to this, about 8 million loads were used for cryptocurrency mining. Before the blackout, people from all walks of life once thought that a cleaner hydropower generation mode could bypass Sichuan, and Sichuan, which is dominated by clean energy and hydropower, was also considered as the last bastion of bitcoin mining in China. Obviously, this underestimates the determination of local governments to crack down on bitcoin mining.

On June 18, Sichuan Provincial Development and Reform Commission and Energy Bureau jointly issued the Notice on Clearing and Closing Virtual Currency Mining Projects. The notice requires that the investigation and shutdown of key targets should be completed, and the investigation, cleaning and shutdown of 26 virtual currency "mining" projects that have been investigated and reported by Sichuan Electric Power Company of State Grid should be completed before June 20.

At the same time, the notice requires power generation enterprises to carry out self-examination and self-correction, require comprehensive clean-up and investigation, and submit self-examination, clean-up and rectification, and clean-up and shutdown before June 25. In addition, the municipal (state) government is also required to carry out dragnet investigation and immediately shut down the discovered mining projects.

On the evening of June 19, a small video was circulated in a circle of friends, in which the miners were cutting off the power supply of the bitcoin mining machine, and the green lights jumping in rows went out one by one. Many people at the scene said: Bye bye.

Some insiders said that with the retreat of Sichuan mining industry, the most tragic moment of miners was ushered in for the first time in the history of blockchain. How far-reaching this historical significance is will be known later. From a certain point of view, this large-scale official retreat of the mining industry is a blow to cryptocurrency and may lead to the end of an era.

As of 2 1 day at 20:00, the topic of # Sichuan Bitcoin Mine Collective Blackout # has been read by Sina Weibo for nearly 1 billion. On Weibo, many netizens were full of praise for the power outage. Some netizens commented that "in addition to wasting energy, it will not produce positive productivity and support shutdown." Some netizens said that if they are all cut, the graphics card can be priced at the original price.

Continue to increase the supervision of virtual currency.

In recent years, China's regulatory authorities have continuously strengthened supervision and rectification in the field of virtual currency.

In 20 13, the People's Bank of China and other five departments jointly issued the Notice on Preventing Bitcoin Risks, pointing out that Bitcoin should be a specific virtual commodity in nature, and it does not have the same legal status as currency, so it cannot and should not be used as currency in the market. The circular requires all financial institutions and payment institutions not to conduct business related to Bitcoin.

In 20 17, the central bank and other seven departments stopped all kinds of token issuance financing and carried out special rectification. Subsequently, China's virtual currency trading platform and ICO trading platform basically achieved risk-free exit, and the global share of Bitcoin in RMB trading once fell below 1%.

Since the beginning of this year, the speculation of virtual currency trading has rebounded. Since May, 2008, 65438+, China has intensively issued cryptocurrency supervision policies:

On May 18, the Inner Mongolia Development and Reform Commission set up a reporting platform for virtual currency "mining" enterprises; On the same day, China Internet Finance Association, China Banking Association and China Payment and Clearing Association issued the Announcement on Preventing Speculation Risks in Virtual Currency Trading. The announcement pointed out that virtual currency has no real value support and the price is easily manipulated. There are multiple risks in related speculative trading activities, such as false asset risk, business failure risk and investment speculation risk. Consumers should enhance their risk awareness, establish a correct investment concept, not participate in speculative activities of virtual currency transactions, and beware of personal property and rights damage.

On May 2 1, the the State Council Financial Committee called for cracking down on bitcoin mining and trading, and resolutely prevented individual risks from being transmitted to the social field. It is worth noting that this is the first time that the Finance Committee has proposed to crack down on bitcoin mining and trading.

On May 26th, the Inner Mongolia Development and Reform Commission issued eight measures to resolutely crack down on punishing virtual currency "mining" for comments. Reduce energy consumption budget targets for industrial parks, data centers and self-owned power plants that provide venues and power support for virtual currency "mining" enterprises; Those who deliberately conceal and fail to report, repel and shut down in time, and have poor examination and approval supervision shall be seriously investigated for responsibility in accordance with relevant laws and regulations and party internal regulations.

On June 5th, Weibo accounts of multiple currency circles with big V were blocked, including trader Xia Xia, Feizhai Bitcoin, Myna Tan Coin, Super Bitcoin, and blockchain William. These accounts have more than100000 fans. Related pages show that the account cannot be viewed because it is complained of violating laws and regulations and the relevant provisions of the Weibo Community Convention.

On June 9, Qinghai Provincial Department of Industry and Information Technology issued the Notice on Completely Closing Virtual Currency Mining Projects, proposing to clean up and rectify virtual currency mining activities.

On June 9, the Development and Reform Commission of Changji Prefecture in Xinjiang issued the Notice on Immediately Stopping Production and Rectifying Virtual Currency Mining Enterprises. The circular requires that all enterprises engaged in virtual "mining" must stop production and rectify before June 9 14, and report the situation of enterprises' suspension and rectification to the changji city Development and Reform Commission.

Also on June 9th, China Payment and Clearing Association issued "Tips on Strengthening Industry Informatization and Effectively Preventing Payment Risks" to remind the risks of virtual currency again. The above risk warning points out that the use of virtual currency and other forms of illegal and criminal activities is gradually increasing, and it has gradually become an important channel for cross-border money laundering because of its anonymity, convenience and globality. At the same time, there has also been a mode of gambling with virtual currency as the medium. On the same day, when you enter keywords such as "Huobi", "Bian" and "Ou Yi" on Weibo and Baidu, a prompt such as "Search result not displayed" pops up.

On June 12, a person from the office of Yunnan Energy Bureau confirmed that according to the requirements of the Notice of Yunnan Energy Bureau on Further Strengthening the Management of Electricity Consumption of Bitcoin Mining Enterprises, all power consumption departments were organized in time to carry out joint inspections. Before the end of June this year, the electricity consumption of Bitcoin mining enterprises was cleaned up and rectified, and illegal acts such as relying on power generation enterprises, privately connecting electricity, evading national transmission and distribution fees, funds and extra profits were seriously investigated. Once discovered,

On June 18, Sichuan Provincial Development and Reform Commission and Energy Bureau jointly issued the Notice on Clearing and Closing Virtual Currency Mining Projects. The notice requires that the investigation and shutdown of key targets should be completed, and the investigation, cleaning and shutdown of 26 virtual currency "mining" projects that have been investigated and reported by Sichuan Electric Power Company of State Grid should be completed before June 20.
