韓國強化比特幣交易規則

South Korea is imposing additional measures regulating the trading of virtual currencies.

The government announced Thursday that it will require owners of cryptocurrency accounts to use their real names. It will also offer new legislation that will allow regulators to shut down virtual coin exchanges if necessary.

South Korea is home to one of the world's largest cryptocurrency exchanges, with about one million people owning bitcoin, the world's biggest and best-known cryptocurrency. Bitcoin's worth has exploded this year, trading as high as $19,500 just this month alone.

The sudden, meteoric rise of digital-based currency led Seoul to warn investors that it is not legal tender, and thus could result in high losses from excessive volatility.韓國即將實施新措施，監管虛擬貨幣的交易。

韓國政府星期四宣佈，要求加密貨幣賬號持有人使用真實姓名。政府還將提出設立新立法，允許監管人員必要時停止虛擬幣的交換。

韓國是世界上最大的加密幣交換地之一，約一百萬人擁有比特幣，這是一種世界上規模最大，最有名加密幣。比特幣幣值今年暴增，僅這個月交易價值就高達19500美元。

這種數字貨幣的陡然躥升，促使首爾政府向投資者發出警告，比特幣不是法定貨幣，過分動盪有可能導致高虧損。
