“China’s central bank warned on Thursday that financial institutions should not trade the digital currency bitcoin, saying that while it does not yet pose a threat to China’s financial system, it carries risks. The central bank also said in a statement on its website that it would act to prevent money laundering risks from bitcoin, a prominent digital currency that is not backed by a government or central bank. The PBOC will require trading platforms that deal in virtual currencies such as bitcoin to register with telecommunications authorities, it said. The central bank did allow that ordinary individuals were free to use bitcoin, so long as they take on the risk themselves.”
