Wang Jin, an arbitrator of the Beijing Arbitration Commission, wrote an article "Adjudication Ideas for Bitcoin Disputes from the Legal Nature of Bitcoin" today. The article believes that my country's current regulatory attitude towards Bitcoin mainly includes the following three aspects:
2. Based on the legal principle of property rights, Bitcoin cannot be regarded as a "thing" in the property law without clear provisions in the law.
3. The state prohibits token financing trading platforms from engaging in activities such as the exchange business between legal tender, tokens, and virtual currencies.
Regarding the legal nature of Bitcoin under the current regulatory system in my country, two points are worth emphasizing:
1. Since there is no law in my country to regulate Bitcoin, it cannot be considered as virtual property under Article 127 of the General Provisions of the Civil Law;
2. Based on the legal principle of property rights, Bitcoin cannot be regarded as a "thing" in the property law without clear provisions in the law.
To sum up, the author believes that, except for the activities of Bitcoin as a legal currency and the activities stipulated in the above paragraph 3, the country does not prohibit the activities of Bitcoin as a virtual commodity.
