卡斯滕斯昨日在德国歌德大学(Goethe University)的一次演讲中表示：“到目前为止，很多人判断，鉴于加密货币规模小且相互关联性有限，对它们的担忧没有上升到系统水平。”

“But if authorities do not act pre-emptively, cryptocurrencies could become more interconnected with the main financial system and become a threat to financial stability.”

“然而，如果政府不先发制人，加密货币与主要金融系统的关联性可能会增强，并成为金融稳定的威胁。”

Cryptocurrencies exploded in number and value in 2017, hitting a combined market capitalisation of $830bn in early January before a sell-off took nearly 70 per cent off that value.

去年，加密货币在数量和价值方面出现爆炸性增长，今年1月初，总计市值达到8300亿美元，之后的一场抛售导致近70%的市值蒸发。

But most banks refuse to touch cryptocurrencies, which raise anti-money laundering concerns because of their anonymity.

但多数银行拒绝触及加密货币，因为其匿名性引发反洗钱担忧。

UK lenders have even declined to provide mortgages to people who have funded their deposit by selling cryptocurrencies, which means their money cannot be traced. Many US and UK banks have also blocked customers from buying cryptocurrencies using their credit cards.

英国贷款机构甚至拒绝向通过出售加密货币来存款的人提供抵押贷款，因为这意味着他们的钱不能被追查。许多美国和英国的银行也阻止客户使用信用卡购买加密货币。
