China’s central bank issued a warning on Friday about the risks of illegal fund-raising by companies marketing virtual currencies and blockchain technology.
In a post on its website, the People’s Bank of China (PBOC) said those so-called “financial innovation” activities are akin to the Ponzi scheme, adding that people should have a rational attitude towards blockchain tech rather than put their blind trust in it.
