Asia’s seventh largest economy Taiwan has pursued friendly regulation for crypto and blockchain companies, as the government recognized the potential of blockchain technology in bolstering the economic growth of the country.

This year, Malta, described as the “Blockchain Island,” established a new trend of implementing favorable policies for crypto startups to enlarge the cryptocurrency market. Within a few months, Binance and Bittrex, two of the biggest multi-billion dollar digital asset exchanges in the world relocated to Malta.

The forward-thinking approach in regulation of Malta led major cities in South Korea, Japan, and Europe to adopt similar regulatory frameworks to lure in cryptocurrency companies.

Taiwan is the Next Major Market

The government of Taiwan has not drafted or passed any official legislation covering cryptocurrency and blockchain legislation. But, led by congressman Jason Hsu, government officials and major cryptocurrency companies created Taiwan Crypto Blockchain Self-Regulatory Organization (TCBSRO), to set quality industry standards and practices.

Similar to Busan and Jeju Island in South Korea, Taiwanese government officials have taken an early approach to self-regulate the local cryptocurrency and blockchain sector to streamline the process of regulating the market for the government.

For many years, Taiwan was criticized by the international technology sector for its lack of regulations in the fintech and technology markets. Unlike Japan, which acknowledged its weakness in the area of fintech and technology, the government of Taiwan has struggled to embrace emerging and disruptive technologies.

But, the approval of the Financial Technology Innovations and Experiment Act, that allows blockchain and crypto startups to operate for years without regulatory risks, marked the first major step towards practical regulation in fintech in the country’s history, which may speed up the process of passing a potential crypto and blockchain regulatory framework in the near future.

Hsu, the crypto-supporting congressman of Taiwan, has held discussions with the largest companies in the global cryptocurrency sector including Binance, to ensure that the local cryptocurrency sector can continue to grow at a rapid rate with the approval and support from the government.

Crypto Will be Beneficial For Taiwan

Japan and South Korea, the second and fourth largest economies in Asia, have seen exponential growth in their respective cryptocurrency and blockchain industries, primarily due to the implementation of friendly regulatory frameworks.

As NewsBTC previously reported, the Financial Services Agency (FSA) has recently expanded its crypto team to ensure it can meet the growing demand for cryptocurrencies by local businesses.

Moreover, as Leo Lewis, a Tokyo Correspondent for FT and a financial analyst based in Japan reported, Nobuchika Mori, Japan’s longest-serving finance minister and a regulator at the FSA, has continued to call for open-minded regulation in the cryptocurrency and financial sector.

“Mr Mori knew, intimately, that Japan’s financial sector had fallen behind in IT, fintech, blockchain and its general embrace of the digital. Faced with an exciting, emerging genre that had already captured the imagination of the Japanese public, it must have been tempting to overlay on to crypto a load of pre-existing national ambitions centred on tech start-ups, fintech and encouraging more retail cash to flow around the system,” Lewis explained.

Analyst expect the efforts of Japan, South Korea, and major economies in Asia in standardizing regulatory frameworks will lead Taiwan, India, and other countries with unclear cryptocurrency policies to solidify their stance on the emerging technology.
