《華爾街日報》開玩笑稱，中國投資者曾經是加密貨幣交易的主導力量，而人民幣是用於交易比特幣的最受歡迎的法定貨幣。 現在，中國的加密貨幣投資者正試圖規避政府對加密貨幣交易的嚴格規定。
事實上，中國與加密貨幣的關係是過去幾年業界最有趣、最難理解的故事之一。 2017年之前，中國大陸是全球最活躍的加密貨幣市場之一，在比特幣挖礦方面遙遙領先。
但到了2021年，中國人民銀行宣布所有加密活動非法，中國已成為全球對加密貨幣監管最嚴格的地區之一。
儘管如此，中國大陸的加密貨幣交易活動仍然廣泛。 根據區塊鏈分析公司 Chainaanalysis 的數據，2022 年 7 月至 2023 年 6 月期間，中國交易者從加密貨幣活動中獲得了 860 億美元的淨收入。
許多中國用戶仍然擁有交易禁令之前在海外加密貨幣交易所創建的帳戶。 知情人士透露，他們經常透過虛擬私人網路（VPN）存取這些帳戶，以掩蓋自己的位置。 中國的一些加密貨幣交易者甚至可以在不使用VPN的情況下存取他們的帳戶。
雖然Bybit、KuCoin、Gate.io等部分交易所目前不允許中國大陸用戶開設帳戶，也有交易所表示已關閉中國大陸帳戶。 但火幣交易所（HTX）推出了數位公民計劃，允許用戶在開戶時申請其他國籍。
此外，中國的加密貨幣交易者也使用微信和Telegram等社群媒體應用程式來尋找交易對手。 透過專門的群組，買家和賣家可以直接聯繫，而無需依賴交易所進行配對。 這種點對點的交易方式在中國仍然很流行。
不僅如此，為了規避監管，一些加密貨幣交易者訴諸傳統的交易方式。 例如，在公共場所召開會議，直接交換加密貨幣錢包位址。 這些交易可以直接進行，涉及現金支付或銀行轉帳。
It is understood that inland areas of China such as Chengdu and Yunnan are particularly popular for cryptocurrency trading. These areas were once popular locations for cryptocurrency mining operations, with powerful computer equipment used to create Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies.
Cryptocurrency traders conduct transactions with property owners or other customers in public places such as laundromats, cafes, snack bars, or restaurants. Some traders find these businesses through the peer-to-peer services of cryptocurrency exchanges, while others rely on word of mouth.
The Chinese government’s tightening of capital controls and police investigations into alleged money laundering and financial crimes pose certain threats to cryptocurrency traders. The success of Chinese cryptocurrency traders in circumventing regulations also illustrates the decentralized nature of the cryptocurrency market, which makes regulation challenging.
The emergence of this complex situation highlights the imbalance between encryption supervision and market innovation. China’s control measures have fueled pent-up investor demand for crypto assets. Cryptocurrency traders are aware that their actions may be risky and they need to exercise caution and even continually seek out new trading channels and utilize technology and social media platforms to circumvent regulatory restrictions.
Summarize
If the cryptocurrency industry wants to develop sustainably, it cannot do without global cooperation and consensus. It is important for Chinese cryptocurrency traders to be aware of the changes and risks in the regulatory environment and take appropriate measures to ensure compliance. At the same time, governments and regulatory agencies also need to have a deeper understanding of the characteristics of the cryptocurrency market and seek innovative regulatory methods to balance regulatory needs and market innovation.
