Central banks must clamp down on bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies to stop them “piggybacking” on mainstream institutions and becoming a “threat to financial stability”, the head of the Bank for International Settlements has warned.
国际清算银行(Bank for International Settlements)总裁奥古斯丁?卡斯滕斯(Agustín Carstens)警告称,各国央行必须打击比特币和其他加密数字货币,阻止它们“依附”主流机构,成为“金融稳定的威胁”。
Agustín Carstens, general manager of the BIS — known as the bank for central banks because it is where they hold accounts — condemned bitcoin as “a combination of a bubble, a Ponzi scheme and an environmental disaster”.
国际清算银行有“央行的央行”之称,因为各国央行在这里设立账户。卡斯滕斯指责比特币是“泡沫、庞氏骗局(Ponzi)和环境灾难的组合”。
His comments came as growing signs of a backlash against cryptocurrencies by mainstream financial institutions contributed to another steep fall in the price of bitcoin, which means it has lost almost two-thirds of its market value in a month.
此际,越来越多的迹象表明,主流金融机构对加密货币的抵触造成比特币价格又一次大幅下挫,使比特币市值在一个月内就蒸发近三分之二。
“To date, many judge that, given cryptocurrencies’ small size and limited interconnectedness, concerns about them do not rise to a systemic level,” Mr Carsten said in a speech at Goethe University in Germany yesterday.
