“The People’s Bank of China has issued a new ban on third-party payment processors from doing business with Bitcoin exchanges. Bitcoin prices on the yuan-traded BTC China exchange are down 34% on the news, and prices on the USD-traded Mt. Gox exchange were flirting with $700 all night. Mt. Gox prices were off 19% on the day. The latest ban is a a separate regulation from the People’s Bank of China’s Dec. 5 ruling barring formal financial institutions from processing Bitcoin. Rui Ma, a China-based angel investor, commented that if the crackdown continues, Chinese may only be able to purchase Bitcoins via miners or other traders.”
