Africa-Press – Sierra-Leone. <\/strong><\/span>China warned on Wednesday of financial risks associated with non-fungible tokens (NFTs), as three industry bodies jointly issued guidelines to prevent the digital asset market from overheating.<\/p>\n

NFTs are ownership certificates of a unique digital item such as a video, recording, or cyber artwork. Such digital collectibles are gaining traction in China and have been embraced by tech companies including Ant Group and Tencent Holdings.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn recent years, China\u2019s NFT market is getting increasingly hot,\u201d China\u2019s banking, securities and internet finance associations said in a joint statement.<\/p>\n

Although NFTs could contribute to China\u2019s digital economy, they could also lead to speculative trading, money laundering, and illegal financing, said the trio, who also issued a joint ban on cryptocurrency trading last year.<\/p>\n

NFTs must not be used in the issuance of financial assets such as securities, insurance, loans or precious metals, said the statement, published on the website of the China Banking Association.<\/p>\n

The associations also barred members from providing trading venues, or financing, for NFTs.<\/p>\n

In addition, cryptocurrencies must not be used to price, or settle NFTs, and real name authentication is required for NFT issuers, buyers and sellers, for anti-laundering purposes, according to the statement.<\/p>\n

Chinese technology giants including Jack Ma\u2019s Ant and video-games developer Tencent (0700.HK) have opened online marketplaces, while a growing number of companies are exploring NFTs.<\/p>\n

Last month, Xtep International released its first digital collection of running shoes, and last year, the official Xinhua news agency issued a digital media photo collection via NFTs.<\/p>\n
