Financial Associated Press | Blockchain Daily, June 30 (Reporter Dong Yujia) Currently, the number of domestic digital collection platforms has surged to more than 500.Behind the rapid increase in the number, there are frequent "dramatic" incidents in the field of Tibetan Buddhism.
There have been two incidents this week.First, "Yuzang", which was incubated in the blockchain business of Hang Seng Electronics, decided to suspend the sale of digital collections, and whether to reopen it in the future depends on relevant policies.Subsequently, "Guangyi Shuzang", which was established only a month ago, was exposed to run away. Although the platform denied running away, the official website cannot be opened at present.
In the face of the "crazy" momentum of the digital collection market, under the leadership of the China Cultural Industry Association, nearly 30 institutions jointly launched the "Digital Collection Industry Self-discipline Development Initiative" today.Opposing secondary transactions and hype, and improving access standards have become the core consensus for high-quality development of the industry.
The "Yuzang" who voluntarily retire
"Yu Zang", incubated by Hang Seng's blockchain business, is also the first digital collection platform that voluntarily clears users.
On June 27, the official announcement of “Yu Zang” stated that since the country has not yet issued clear laws, regulations and policy documents in the field of digital collections, after careful evaluation, the platform has decided to suspend the sale of digital collections from the 27th.
In fact, the announcement was made only two months after the launch of “Yuzang”.According to the content released by the "Yuzang" official account, the operation of the platform during this period was not smooth sailing.
During the release of the first issue of Shanhaijing series collections on the platform on May 17, due to the technical failure caused by "too many clicks for purchase", the official stated that all users who participated in the first collection of collections will be compensated by airdrops.
On May 18, the platform server suffered a technical attack, and some users used plug-in software to cause the server to be paralyzed. "Yuzang" subsequently blocked and banned some users.
After the server was maliciously attacked, the release time was adjusted, and the pre-payment verification was added, “Yuzang” chose to suspend the sale of collections on June 27.
According to the announcement, the platform will carry out the original price repurchase business of digital collections, and users can choose whether to continue to hold the digital collections of the platform.A reporter from Blockchain Daily called Hang Seng Electronics to ask the staff about the progress of the repurchase, but he said that everything is subject to the announcement.
"Yuzang" is technically supported by the "Hang Seng HSL" Hang Seng Chain, and Hang Seng has passed the National Internet Information Office's blockchain information service record in 2019.
"Having a blockchain filing with the Cyberspace Administration of China does not mean that you can carry out related business. Even if you can carry out related business, it still needs to be carried out in a legal and compliant way." Liu Yang, a partner lawyer of Beijing Deheng Law Firm, told me reporter.
He further explained that as a listed company, based on compliance with the relevant regulations of listed companies and the interests of shareholders, "Hang Seng Electronics will put compliance in the first place to avoid abnormal stock price fluctuations caused by legal risks of the collection platform."
"Guangyi Shuzang" is suspected of running away, and the website can no longer be opened
Affected by the news of the suspected platform running away, an emerging platform called "Guangyi Shuzang" has become the focus of the Shuzang circle this week.
In fact, "Guangyi Shuzang" has only been established for more than a month.The main sections of the platform include consignment, blind box area and synthesis area. Consignment also means that the platform supports secondary market transactions.
On June 28, a video revealed by a player showed that a large number of digital collections were held in the Guangyi Shuizang account of Liang Moumou, the person in charge of Guangyi Shuizang, and he claimed that he was suspected of manipulating the price of the second-level consignment market of Shuizang.
The video was superimposed on the rumor that the platform ran away, and the prices of the collections of "Guangyi Shuzang" showed a plummeting trend, and many collections fell by more than 80% on the day.
According to the data of the NFT real disk, the price of the "Guangyi Shuzang" Genesis Medal was as high as 30,000 yuan on June 20, and as of press time, the price was less than 1,000 yuan.
On June 29, the platform issued a rumor-refuting announcement, saying "don't believe unverified rumors of running away", and said that all users' normal withdrawals will be guaranteed.
The reporter asked the platform players about the withdrawal issue today, and many users in the "Guangyi Rights Protection Association Group" said that "there is no problem with the withdrawal."Some people said that the account can be received in a few hours, and some people told me that yesterday (June 29) morning, they chose to withdraw cash, and (June 30) arrived at 2:00 pm.
According to Tianyancha, the operating entity of "Guangyi Shuzang" is Foshan Hongtianchuang E-Commerce Co., Ltd., which was established on January 6, 2020 with a registered capital of 1 million yuan.Reporters called the company about the operation of the platform, but the phone went unanswered.
Although the platform stated in the refutation announcement that it "will operate normally", the "Guangyi Shuzang" website is currently inaccessible, showing that "the domain name does not exist".On the morning of June 30, reporters can still log in to the official website.
In addition, it is also a mystery to be solved whether the digital collection of the platform is on the chain.A user who did not want to be named told reporters that the collections on the platform are "on the chain".When asked which chain it was on, he replied that it was "Baidu Super Chain" and said that someone had checked it on the official website before.
However, Baidu responded to reporters that it had not reached any cooperation with the company on digital collections, and "the company may use it by itself."At the same time, Baidu emphasized that the company will resolutely resist illegal digital collection speculation and secondary transactions, and will actively promote the healthy development of the industry.
"Now the market is flooded with a large number of illegal digital platforms, and these digital platforms are very likely to be involved in criminal risks of illegal fundraising or illegal operations." Liu Yang pointed out in an interview with reporters.
He analyzed that some digital Tibetan platforms have many illegal acts such as their own production, their own sale, their own consignment, and price manipulation.
"In essence, it is an ICO in disguise, using digital collections as financial products to provide services with significant exchange characteristics such as centralized bidding, electronic matching, continuous listing transactions, and standardized contract trading services. Ordinary players also face the risk of asset loss."
It is worth mentioning that under the leadership of the China Cultural Industry Association, nearly 30 institutions jointly launched the "Digital Collection Industry Self-discipline Development Initiative" in Beijing today, opposing secondary transactions and hype, and improving access standards to become the core consensus of high-quality development of the industry. .It is reported that the participating parties include professional institutions and associations in the cultural and tourism industry, cultural central enterprises, IP institutions, and Internet technology companies such as Ant, Tencent, Baidu, and JD.
Earlier in April, the China Internet Finance Association, the China Banking Association, and the China Securities Association also issued a warning about the financial risks related to NFTs, pointing out that it is necessary to resolutely curb the tendency of NFTs to be financialized and securitized.
