作为我国第一家也曾是最大的一家数字货币交易所——比特币中国（BTCC）近日因一则被收购公告吸引了市场关注。BTCC在微博和官方公众号宣布，已经被一家香港区块链投资基金正式收购。然而，在BTCC宣布被收购的同一天，香港监管层宣布下架证券类虚拟货币，在分析人士看来，BTCC近几年命途多舛。在每一次的监管严击下，均未翻身，被收购这一根“救赎”稻草也恐难挽救BTCC。
As our first and largest digital currency exchange & mdash; — Bitcoin China (BTCC) has attracted market attention in recent days because of a buyout announcement. BTCC announced in Weibo and the official public that it had been officially acquired by a Hong Kong block chain investment fund. However, on the same day as the BTCC announced its acquisition, Hong Kong regulators announced a virtual currency for the next type of securities. According to analysts, the BTCC has had a long history in recent years.
行业老大 反被收购
boss of industry > nbsp; counter-acquisition
1月29日，BTCC公布了被收购的消息，但并未透露具体的收购公司与收购细节。BTCC创始人李启元表示，本次资源的引入将助力BTCC从2018年起更加强势积极地发展业务。BTCC的公告称，BTCC今后将把业务重心完全转移到国际市场及旗下的三个主要产品——BTCC矿池“国池”、Mobi数字资产钱包和美元现货交易平台。
On 29 January, BTCC published information on the acquisition, but did not disclose the details of the acquisition of specific companies and acquisitions. The founder of BTCC, Qingwon Lee, stated that the introduction of this resource would help the BTCC to develop its business more actively from 2018 onwards. BTCC announced that BTCC would shift its business focus entirely to international markets and to the three main products under the flag & & mdash; & mdash; BTCC mine & ldquo; National Pool & & rdqua; Mobi digital asset wallets and US dollar spot trading platforms in the future.
公开资料显示，BTCC成立于2011年，公司主体为上海萨图西网络有限公司。法人代表为Bobby Lee（李启元），注册日期为2013年7月9日，注册资本为120万元。随着业务的发展以及越来越多的国内投资者开始进入“币圈”，作为国内最早创立的比特币交易平台， BTCC在2012年时，比特币交易额就曾占到全球比特币交易额的35%，成为国内最大、全球排名第二的交易所。至2017年上半年，国内比特币交易额在全球交易额占比达到了80%，BTCC在全球比特币交易平台排名中仍位列前茅。
According to public sources, BTCC was established in 2011 as Shanghai Satusi Network Ltd. The corporate representative is Bobby & nbsp; Lee (Li Qing Won), registered on 9 July 2013, with a registered capital of $1.2 million. As business developed and more and more domestic investors began to enter “ the currency circle & & rdquo; as the country's first-found Bitcoin trading platform, and BTCC, in 2012, was the second largest and second highest-highest exchange in the country. By the first half of 2017, BTCC was still at the top of the global Bitcoin trading platform.
另外，除数字资产交易平台以外，BTCC还拥有国内最大的比特币矿池“国池”。据BTCC公告透露，2017年“国池”挖出价值近9亿美元的比特币。“挖矿”的高额利润使得国内产生了大量的矿机制造商和“矿工”，此前有媒体报道称，2017年上半年国内矿机生产几乎垄断了全球市场，全球各地投资者纷纷前来购买。
In addition to digital asset trading platforms, BTCC also owns the country’s largest bitcoin pond & ldquo; national pond & rdquo; according to BTCC bulletins, 2017 & ldquo; national pond & rdquo; digs out nearly $900 million in bitcoins. & ldquo; mining & rdquo; high profits have resulted in a large number of miner manufacturers and & ldquo; miners & rdquo; prior media reports indicate that domestic miner production almost monopolized the global market in the first half of 2017 and that investors around the world have come to buy it.
也正是大量堪称狂热投资者的出现，让一些良莠不齐的ICO（首次代币发行）项目看到了利润，开始大量滋生。据央行的定义，代币发行融资是指融资主体通过代币的违规发售、流通，向投资者筹集比特币、以太币等所谓“虚拟货币”，本质上是，涉嫌非法发售代币票券、非法发行证券以及非法集资、金融诈骗、传销等违法犯罪活动。由此，2017年，央行注意到并开始打击数字货币的交易。
It is also the emergence of a large number of fanatical investors, who have seen profits and started to grow in the midst of a number of excellent projects such as the ICO (first generation of coins). By the definition of the central bank, the financing of currency issuance refers to the illegal sale, circulation, collection of bitcoins from investors, the so-called & ldquo; virtual currency & rdquo; essentially, the illegal sale of coupons, the illegal distribution of securities, and the illegal collection of funds, financial fraud, distribution, etc. In 2017, the central bank noted and began to combat transactions involving digital currencies.
转战海外 市场流失
2017年1月11日，央行上海总部、上海市金融办等单位组成联合检查组对BTCC开展现场检查，重点检查该企业是否超范围经营，是否未经许可或无牌照开展信贷、支付、汇兑等相关业务；是否有涉及市场操纵行为；反洗钱制度落实情况；资金安全隐患等。
On 11 January 2017, the Central Bank's Shanghai headquarters and the Shanghai City Financial Office, among others, formed a Joint Inspection Unit to conduct an on-site inspection of the BTCC, focusing on whether the enterprise was operating beyond scope, whether it was carrying out credit, payment, exchange, etc. without permission or licence; whether it involved market manipulation; the implementation of the anti-money-laundering regime; and the risk of financial security.
2017年2月9日，央行提出明确要求：比特币交易平台不得违规从事融资融币等金融业务，不得参与洗钱活动。当日晚间，BTCC、火币网、币行三家平台相继发布公告，宣布为升级反洗钱系统全面暂停比特币、莱特币的提现业务。历时4个月后，2017年6月，国内三大比特币交易平台恢复了提现业务。
On 9 February 2017, the Central Bank made a clear request that the Bitcoin trading platform should not engage in financial operations, such as the financing of monetized currency, or be involved in money-laundering. On that evening, the BTCC, the Currency Network, and the three money-line platforms issued circulars declaring a complete suspension of the money-laundering system.
但监管到此并未结束，随着提现业务的恢复，在比特币的“龙头”效应下，国内各类数字货币迎来大涨，ICO项目如雨后春笋般涌现，3个月间，比特币价格从1万元左右直接涨至近3万元。为了遏制ICO乱象，2017年9月，中国央行等七部委发布《防范代币发行融资风险的公告》称，代币发行融资本质上是未经批准非法公开融资的行为，应当立即停止。任何所谓的代币融资交易平台不得从事法定货币与代币、“虚拟货币”相互之间的兑换业务，不得买卖或作为中央对手方买卖代币或“虚拟货币”，不得为代币或“虚拟货币”提供定价、信息中介等服务。
However, regulation has not yet come to an end, with the resumption of operations in Bitcoin “ the leader & rdquo; the effect of which was that domestic digital currencies were rising sharply, with the ICO project rising from around 10,000 yuan to nearly 30,000 yuan in three months, as it appeared after the rains. In order to contain the ICO scandal, in September 2017, seven ministries and departments, such as the Central Bank of China, issued a Notice to Protect against the Risk of Financing Indignity Issued, which states that the financing of indignity issues is essentially an unauthorized act of public financing and should cease immediately. No so-called money finance platform should engage in legal currency and indquao, & ldquao; virtual currency & rdquo; exchange operations between them, which cannot be bought or sold as a substitute for a central counterpart or & ldquao; virtual currency & & ldquo; virtual currency & & ldquo; provision of services such as pricing, information intermediation.
同时，对于存在违法违规问题的代币融资交易平台，金融管理部门将提请电信主管部门依法关闭其网站平台及移动App，提请网信部门对移动App在应用商店做下架处置，并提请工商管理部门依法吊销其营业执照。随后，2017年9月14日-15日，国内最大的三家比特币交易所BTCC、火币网和币行相继宣布关停场内交易，并于10月31日之前完成清退。
At the same time, in the case of a money-for-trade platform with irregularities, the financial administration will request the telecommunications authorities to shut down its website platform and move the App in accordance with the law, ask the Internet service to take action against the mobile App in the application shop, and ask the business administration to cancel its business licence in accordance with the law. Subsequently, on 14-15 September 2017, the three largest Bitcoin exchanges in the country, BTCC, the Trenchnet and the Currency, announced their closing down of intra-office transactions and their withdrawal by 31 October.
而在完成清退、停止提现、彻底关闭国内平台后，火币网和币行等交易平台纷纷转战海外。目前，火币网在海外开设了火币pro，币行拥有OKCoin国际站与合作公司OKEx，且均提供C2C场外交易服务，吸引了众多国内的投资者，而BTCC却没有了声音。
With the completion of the clean-up, the suspension of cash withdrawals, and the total closure of domestic platforms, trading platforms such as the Democratic Republic of the Congo’s Democratic Republic of the Congo’s Democratic Republic of the Congo and China’s Democratic Republic of the Congo, the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea has launched a foreign currency network, which currently has a foreign currency pro, with an international station and a cooperative company, OKCoin, OKEx, and both provide C2C off-site trading services, attracting a large number of domestic investors, while the BTCC has no voice.
北京商报记者了解到，BTCC虽然也有国际站，提供美元对比特币的交易，但仅支持VISA等国际支付手段，这也使得国内投资者无法继续在BTCC进行投资交易。从比特币交易量来看，据CoinMarketCap网站显示，2月5日，OKEx比特币交易额达到41.5亿元，占全球比特币交易量的9%，排名第2；火币pro比特币交易额近11亿元，占全球比特币交易量的2.39%，排名第8；而BTCC交易额只有5.4亿美元，占比1%，排名第16。
According to the Beijing Business Journal, BTCC, which also has an international station that provides United States dollar-denominated transactions, only supports international payment instruments such as VISA, which also prevents domestic investors from continuing to invest in BTCC. According to the Bitcoin transaction volume, on 5 February, OKExbitco traded $4.15 billion, or 9 per cent of global Bitcoin transactions, ranking 2nd; the coin probitco deal was close to $1.1 billion, or 2.39 per cent of global Bitcoin transactions, ranking 8th; and the BTCC deal was only $540 million, or 1 per cent, ranking 16.
数据显示，2017年，BTCC创造超过250亿美元的比特币交易量，位居世界前列，而面对国内市场的流失，BTCC也迫切需要改善目前的情况。BTCC交易平台副总裁蔡敏杰表示，此次收购为BTCC提供了资源，BTCC将利用其运营历史悠久的比特币交易平台的经验，在未来向用户提供更便捷安全的数字资产服务。
The data show that in 2017, BTCC created more than $25 billion in bitcoins, the world’s highest volume of transactions, and that BTCC urgently needed to improve the current situation in the face of the loss of domestic markets. The BTCC Trade Platform’s Vice-President, Choi Minjie, said that the takeover had provided BTCC with resources and that BTCC would use its experience in operating its long-standing Bitcoin trading platform to provide user-friendly digital asset services in the future.
在业内人士看来，“更为便捷”是BTCC未来提供比特币交易的重点，此次收购之后，BTCC可能会回到国内投资者的视野。“国内市场是不会放弃的，但不能公开进行，无论是平台还是用户都会想方设法采取各种手段进行交易。”上述业内人士说道。
In the opinion of industry, “ easier & rdquo; the focus of BTCC’s future Bitcoin transactions, after which BTCC may return to the perspective of domestic investors. & & & ldquo; domestic markets will not be abandoned, but not open, and both platforms and users will find ways to trade. & & & rdquo; the industry said.
监管加码 前景迷茫
Regulate extra code & nbsp; outlook is confused
BTCC被收购为平台的“救赎”带来了希望，但在监管日益趋严的情况下，总让人感觉BTCC来晚了一些。在BTCC宣布被收购的同一天，香港证监会中介机构部执行董事梁凤仪公开表示，香港证监会已要求多家虚拟货币交易所将属于证券的虚拟货币下架，若发现有公司继续向公众发放证券属性的加密货币，不排除有进一步行动。
The BTCC was acquired as platform & ldquo; Redemption & rdquo; and gave hope, but in a context of increasing regulation, it was felt that the BTCC was a little late. On the same day as the BTCC announced the acquisition, the Executive Director of the Hong Kong SEC Intermediary, Liang Feng Yi, publicly stated that the Hong Kong CVM had requested several virtual currency exchanges to fall into the virtual currency of securities, and that no further action would be ruled out if companies were found to continue to issue encrypted currency to the public with the attributes of securities.
近日以来，监管虽未明确发文规定，但国内数字货币监管趋严风声不断。此前就有多家包括央行主办媒体透露监管要对注册地在境内的场外交易平台、境内大额“点对点”的做市交易，包括注册地在境内但通过其在境外的网站平台，以及采取所谓“出海”形式继续为国内客户提供虚拟货币集中交易服务的平台进行逐步清理。
In recent times, regulation of digital money, although not explicitly documented, has become increasingly demanding in the country. Prior to this, several, including central bank-sponsored media outlets, revealed that regulation was required to cover off-site trading platforms registered in the country, large domestic & & ldquo; point-to-point & rdquo; market transactions, including registered but off-shore web platforms; and so-called & ldquao; sea trip & & rdquo; and forms of continued gradual clean-up of virtual centralized money trading services for domestic customers.
苏宁金融研究院区块链实验室首席研究员洪蜀宁认为，国内监管目标是控制数字货币在国内的交易量，一方面是防范金融欺诈风险，另外使得国内矿工没有出货渠道，促使矿工出海，也能降低数字货币在国内的影响。在他看来，国内监管可能会采取屏蔽海外交易所网站、查处集中式的C2C交易、对出海平台的实际控制人进行监管等措施。
In his view, domestic regulation may take such measures as blocking overseas exchange websites, locating centralized C2C transactions, and monitoring the physical control of offshore platforms.
洪蜀宁也表示，“总体而言，这些措施对国内的交易量会有一定影响，但不能杜绝。国内平台出海主要是规避监管，内地用户仍会是其主要的服务对象，但所占比例会有所下降。但内地用户的身份信息会扭曲，难以统计，更加难以监管。而且在目前的法律框架下，个人私下买卖数字货币仍然是合法的，只要不是大规模的、影响金融稳定，还是可以进行的”。
Hung Junning also states that & & ldquo; in general, these measures will have some impact on the volume of domestic transactions, but they cannot be stopped. Domestic platforms go out of the country mainly to circumvent regulation, and inland users will remain their primary clients, but their share will decrease.
在稀财汇创始人、500金研究院院长肖磊看来，目前，国内监管层面实际上是在细化一些可以执行的方案，但这种方案还是基于去年9月4日的监管文件，一些措施可能会针对场外市场和海外交易所，但很难说会起到多大效果，因为监管的目的是屏蔽大众非常便捷的参与炒币的渠道，而不是说真的要完全禁止，因为这很难完全禁止。
In the view of Xiao Xiao Xiao, founder of the 500 Gold Research Institute, the domestic regulatory level is currently in the process of fine-tuning a number of implementable programmes, but they are still based on the regulatory documents of 4 September last year, and some measures may be directed at off-site markets and overseas exchanges, but it is difficult to say how effective they will be, because the purpose of regulation is to block the public's very easy access to the pneumatic channels, rather than to ban them altogether, because it is difficult to prohibit them altogether.
值得一提的是，目前国内投资者进行数字货币交易的三大平台之一的币安，已经打破了暴风雨前的宁静。2月1日，币安宣布不再为中国内地地区用户提供服务。在币安官网“致中国用户”的公告中，仅有一句话：“根据中国相关政策法规，币安不再为中国内地地区用户提供服务。”
It is worth mentioning that the currency security of one of the three main platforms where domestic investors currently conduct digital currency transactions has broken the peace before the storm. On February 1, the currency declared that it no longer served users in China and China. In the bulletin for Chinese users & ldquao, there is only one sentence: & ldquao; and, in accordance with China’s policy regulations and regulations, the currency no longer serves users in China and China. & rdquao;
“交易所最担心的可能是因为一些监管而影响到长远发展，这类交易所利润很大，也不想因为过于招揽中国客户而引起监管层的注意。实际上监管方面并没有对已经设立在海外的交易所采取具体行动。后续如果数字货币行业陷入熊市，监管可能会放松，因为市场本身就在降温，达到了监管的目的。”肖磊说道。
& ldquo; Exchanges are probably most concerned about long-term development as a result of regulations that are profitable and do not want to attract attention at the regulatory level because they are too popular with Chinese customers. In practice, regulation does not take concrete action on exchanges that have been set up abroad.
总而言之，国内会对向内地用户提供数字货币交易服务的“出海”平台加强监管，已经无可争议。而此次BTCC被收购后能否重新将交易平台发展起来，也充满了未知数。北京商报记者发邮件到BTCC官方，希望了解更多关于收购与此后BTCC发展的计划，但截至发稿，并未收到回复。（北京商报记者 岳品瑜 张弛）
In conclusion, it is not disputed whether the BTCC will be able to re-develop the trading platform after the takeover. The BTCC reporter sent an e-mail to the BTCC official asking for more information about the acquisition and subsequent BTCC development, but has not received a response as of the date of the submission.
