The Financial Supervisory Commission (FSC) of Taiwan is taking steps to enhance the safeguarding of cryptocurrency investors by introducing new regulations\r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n <\/g>\r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n <\/clipPath>\r\n <\/defs><\/svg><\/span><\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On September 26, the FSC outlined the key aspects of its cryptocurrency market regulation efforts, unveiling a set of industry guidelines for virtual asset service providers (VASP) operating within the nation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Within these guidelines, the FSC outlined several industry-standard rules, such as segregating exchange treasury assets from customer assets and implementing mechanisms for listing and removing virtual assets<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Additionally, the FSC mandated that foreign VASPs obtain the necessary approvals from the regulator before offering their services in Taiwan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

\u201cOverseas virtual asset platform operators are not allowed to provide business within the territory of the country […] unless they have been registered in accordance with the law.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

The FSC emphasized inviting VASPs to participate in self-regulation within the cryptocurrency industry actively.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It anticipates that relevant VASP associations will establish self-regulatory standards based on the principles outlined in the guidelines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Simultaneously, major cryptocurrency exchanges in Taiwan jointly established the Taiwan VASP Association on September 26.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This initiative involves local exchanges such as Maicoin, BitstreetX, Hoya Bit, Bitgin, Rybit, Xrex, and Shangbito.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Their primary objectives are to foster industry growth and facilitate cooperation with regulators.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition to local exchanges, prominent global cryptocurrency trading platforms, including Binance, have served clients in Taiwan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In August, Binance reportedly applied for registration under the Money Laundering Control Act and the FSC.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These developments follow reports from local publications on September 7, indicating that the FSC had drafted ten guiding principles for managing virtual currencies in the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These principles are intended to impose restrictions on unregistered cryptocurrency exchanges. Notably, the FSC assumed the role of the primary cryptocurrency regulator in Taiwan in 2023.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
