韩国强化比特币交易规则

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.

韩国政府星期四宣布，要求加密货币账号持有人使用真实姓名。政府还将提出设立新立法，允许监管人员必要时停止虚拟币的交换。

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.

韩国是世界上最大的加密币交换地之一，约一百万人拥有比特币，这是一种世界上规模最大，最有名加密币。比特币币值今年暴增，仅这个月交易价值就高达19500美元。

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.

这种数字货币的陡然蹿升，促使首尔政府向投资者发出警告，比特币不是法定货币，过分动荡有可能导致高亏损。
