【on.cc東網專訊】 本港近日爆出投資者懷疑投資比特幣(Bitcoin)受騙,金管局發言人表示,近日傳媒廣泛報道的事件或涉及被騙或被誘使參與層壓式計劃,金管局注意到有關人士亦擬報警。金管局希望提醒市民,在參與任何投資計劃時,不論是比特幣、其他商品或是任何金融或非金融資產的投資,均要對不良的手法提高警覺。

金管局發言人稱,比特幣並不是貨幣,而是於虛擬世界創造的「商品」,可於私人或網上平台交易,或用以物易物的形式進行買賣。由於比特幣的價值沒有實物或發行人支持,加上價格波幅非常大,並沒有足夠條件成為支付媒介或電子貨幣;比特幣或其他類似的虛擬商品不受金管局監管,基於比特幣的高度投機性,金管局一向呼籲市民不論以哪種途徑購買或進行交易時,均要加倍小心有關風險。

在銀行監管方面,金管局分別於去年1月9日及4月30日就虛擬商品的相關風險發出通告,提醒銀行注意有關風險。
