The Wuxi Intermediate People’s Court dismissed a lawsuit involving ‘virtual US dollars,’ where an investor lost nearly 84,350 yuan after a platform collapse occurred on September 6th.

Wuxi Court Dismisses Virtual Dollar Lawsuit

The Wuxi Intermediate People’s Court confronted an investment case involving “virtual US dollars” where a party exchanged 84,350 yuan for a platform currency. Upon platform failure, only 0.1 yuan could be retrieved. The court emphasized the independent decision made by the investor without adhering to registration requirements.

Estaed by the case outcome, investments made on overseas platforms remain unprotected by Chinese law. Such activities carry inherent risks with the responsibility falling on the investor, underscoring the legal stance that participants in foreign platforms must bear their own losses.

“Virtual currency trading and investment activities carry legal and asset risks; Chinese law does not recognize cryptocurrency investments as protected activities, especially on overseas or unregistered platforms.” – Shenzhen Intermediate Court
