CAC lists five circumstances affecting blockchain filing; service names must not contain virtual currency, exchange, ICO, etc.

BlockBeats news, November 9: According to a notice on the official website of the Cyberspace Administration of China and related Q&A for the newly launched "Internet New Technology New Application Information Service Filing System," the "Internet New Technology New Application Information Service Filing System" built by the Cyberspace Administration of China was officially launched that day. It can carry out integrated filing for new technologies and new applications such as generative artificial intelligence, algorithms, deep synthesis, and blockchain. The website is https://beian.cac.gov.cn; the original "Internet Information Service Algorithm Filing System" and "Blockchain Information Service Filing Management System" ceased use simultaneously.

On the same day, the "Summary of Frequently Asked Questions on Blockchain Information Service Filing" published within the system clarified that service names should accurately reflect actual uses, be concise and specific, must not exaggerate or fabricate the scope of uses, and must not contain words such as "virtual currency," "exchange," or "ICO." The Q&A also listed five circumstances that will affect blockchain information service filing applications: first, involving business content such as virtual currency issuance, trading, or ICO; second, blockchain information service servers deployed overseas; third, failure to complete ICP filing as required; fourth, submitted materials being unclear or filled-in information being inconsistent; fifth, the provided services not falling within the scope of blockchain information service filing. According to the Q&A, operating entities that externally provide BaaS-related services such as underlying blockchain, nodes, and proof of existence should also perform filing procedures.

Key points

According to BlockBeats, citing a notice on the official website of the Cyberspace Administration of China and Q&A for the filing system, the new filing system was launched on November 9.
The new system can carry out integrated filing for new technologies and new applications such as generative artificial intelligence, algorithms, deep synthesis, and blockchain.
The original Internet Information Service Algorithm Filing System and Blockchain Information Service Filing Management System ceased use simultaneously.
The Q&A states that blockchain service names must not contain words such as "virtual currency," "exchange," or "ICO."
The five circumstances listed in the Q&A that affect filing include: involving virtual currency issuance, trading, or ICO; servers deployed overseas; failure to complete ICP filing; unclear materials or inconsistent information; and services not falling within the filing scope.
The Q&A states that operating entities that externally provide BaaS-related services such as underlying blockchain, nodes, and proof of existence should also perform filing procedures.

AI-assisted interpretation

The following is analysis, separate from reported facts. Verify important claims independently.

Entities providing blockchain information services domestically need to pay attention to business content, server deployment, ICP filing, material consistency, and service scope when applying for filing. Service names also must not use the relevant words explicitly restricted in the Q&A; operating entities providing BaaS-related services are likewise included in the filing requirements.

Why it matters to readers

These requirements directly affect whether blockchain information services can complete filing, and will also affect the naming, server deployment, and material preparation of related services.

If you operate or use blockchain, node, proof-of-existence, or BaaS services, you should pay attention to whether the service provider has filed as required; this news is not equivalent to a judgment on virtual currency price trends.

Risks and unknowns

The evidence is a BlockBeats paraphrase and does not provide the full text of the notice and Q&A of the Cyberspace Administration of China.
Whether "affecting filing" necessarily leads to application failure is not made clear by the evidence.
Whether existing services need to migrate or supplement filing, and whether there is a transition period, is not stated in the evidence.
The specific implementation methods and handling cases of the relevant requirements cannot yet be confirmed from the evidence.
