再度整治：中国中央银行拟将比特币交易所纳入反洗钱法监管范围 - 比特币 - IT资讯

据《华尔街日报》最新消息，中国中国中央银行拟下发规则草案，将比特币交易所纳入反洗钱法的监管范围。草案指出，中国中央银行将负责处理比特币交易所的违规情形，比特币交易平台需要完善自身建设，运营中需要收集客户信息以确认其身份，并需要设置系统以报告可疑交易。

对于此事，中国人大代表、中国人民银行营业管理部主任周学东在近日接受媒体采访时表示，2013年中国中央银行曾经对交易平台提出过反洗钱的相关要求，但落实得并不理想，比如说在客户实名制方面没有尽到“了解你的客户（KYC）”的义务。2013年，中国中央银行等五部委发布《关于防范比特币风险的通知》，规定交易平台应对用户身份进行识别，并要求用户使用实名注册，登记姓名、身份证号码等信息。

据周学东透露，反洗钱的重点，将包括开户身份识别、资金来源、资金流向、异常交易等方面。在监管币和资金的去向时，可以借鉴区块链技术，把交易机构的交易数据同步拿到监管部门，作为监管的基础，从这些数据中也可以发现部分洗钱信息和异常交易。

回顾起来，中国中央银行对比特币交易的监管正一步步加紧。据雷锋网(公众号：雷锋网)此前报道，2017年1月初，人民银行北京、上海等分支行联合地方金融监管部门，对北京、上海等地比特币主要交易平台持续开展现场检查。随后，中国中央银行还进一步进驻比特币交易所实施一定检查约束。检查发现，部分交易平台存在违规开展融资融币业务、反洗钱内控制度不健全等风险问题。

2月9日，部分交易平台发布公告，称将全面升级反洗钱系统，并对提币进行了限制。3月8日，多家交易平台相继发出《防范通过比特币进行非法行为的延期通知》，表示根据监管部门要求研发和升级系统，同时联合行业内单位制定自律制度。

周学东表示，目前监管部门的现场检查仍在进行中。可以明确的是，今年各方面的监管只会加强，不会放松。
