Taiwan has announced its plans to regulate its crypto industry through the Financial Supervision and Administration Committee (FSC) or the newly established Ministry of Digital Affairs (MODA).

Taiwan’s Crypto Legislation

Taiwan plans to regulate cryptocurrencies through special legislation, and its Financial Supervisory Commission (FSC) will monitor the burgeoning industry. Huang Tien-mu, the Chairman of the FSC, confirmed this during a parliament hearing analyzing global banking stability.

Participants in Taiwan’s crypto industry welcomed the news. Wayne Huang, the co-founder and CEO of XREX, believes the industry will grow under proper regulation. 

Finally! Taiwanese regulators will fully regulate the crypto industry. Excellent coverage by @CoinDesk @thesamreynolds 🙏🏽https://t.co/5PvgCCgQDS

— Wayne Huang (@waynehuang) March 20, 2023

The new rules will require crypto trading platforms to be licensed by the appropriate regulators. Meanwhile, consultations have been launched to propose how best to regulate virtual asset trading platforms. An initial framework for the law is expected by June, with an initial draft for later this year.

Taiwan’s central bank and the FSC are two of the primary financial regulators in Taiwan. The central bank sets the country’s monetary policy and oversees foreign exchange regulations. On the other hand, the FSC has a broad remit over everything from banking regulation, securities, and Futures to anti-money laundering (AML).

Some lawmakers in Taiwan wanted the newly-established Ministry of Digital Affairs (MODA) to be the chief crypto regulator since it is a new digital asset technology. Yet, others said the MODA is relatively new and inexperienced compared to the FSC. 

Currently, the FSC has no interest in regulating non-fungible tokens (NFTs) and local Taiwan media quoted Huang Tien-mu, saying that since NFTs are still emerging as an asset class, it is too early to regulate them.

FTX Crash Shaping Taiwan’s Crypto Landscape

Despite China’s ban on crypto-related activities, Hong Kong wants to become a crypto hub. Taiwan, which has previously taken a hands-off approach to crypto regulation, is following Hong Kong’s lead.

The FTX crash of last year could have made regulators speed up the creation of applicable laws. Following the bankruptcy of the Sam Bankman-Fried-led exchange, clients in Taiwan were some of the most impacted, with a report estimating that they lost approximately $20 billion.

The FTX collapse also saw crypto assets tank. Bitcoin dropped below $20,000 in mid-November, registering new 2022 lows.

Crypto firms in Taiwan remain optimistic that the government will learn from Hong Kong’s regulatory experience and take steps to create a favorable regulatory environment to spur innovation in crypto and blockchain.

Despite Hong Kong’s crypto ambitions, the city could still find competition with other hubs like Singapore and Dubai.

Dalmas, a seasoned crypto reporter, brings a unique perspective to the industry. His specialization in NFTs, blockchain, DeFi, and blockchain news for NewsBTC, combined with a background in mechanical engineering and over a decade of experience in journalism, has allowed him to craft over 10,000 news and feature articles over the past eight years. His diverse range of topics, including technology, Forex, and finance, reflects his comprehensive understanding of the crypto landscape.

His technical expertise and analytical skills have been recognized and featured by leading news outlets such as Investing.com, CoinTelegraph, Entrepreneur, Forbes, and other authority sites. Notably, he broke key news, including the Ripple and MoneyGram partnership, cementing his position as a thought leader in crypto.
The news exploded. Over 100,000 people devoured this meticulously crafted report, from seasoned investors to curious newcomers. His analysis wasn't just dry facts and figures; it crackled with insight, dissecting the implications of the partnership and its potential impact on the future of finance.

His deep understanding of the financial markets, technological advancements, and blockchain developments has made him a respected voice in the industry.

Dalmas is also the founder of BTC-Pulse, a crypto news site, further demonstrating his commitment to the field. He firmly believes that DeFi and NFTs are here to stay and will continue to drive financial inclusion.

Coming from Nairobi, Kenya, it is easy to see the source of his inspiration: Across Africa, millions lack access to traditional banks. Remote villages, limited documentation, and high minimum balances create insurmountable barriers.

DeFi, not just Maker or Aave, for example, but think of Bitcoin and USDT, cuts out the middleman. Forget banks with their limitations.
Even so, DeFi isn't a magic solution. The continent still struggles with reliable internet access, and educational campaigns highlighting the benefits of this wonderful solution are insufficient. Moreover, even for those interested, understanding DeFi can look like learning a new language.

Dalmas is here to help make the tech easy to understand and digestible, even for beginners.
The story of DeFi in Africa is still being written. Challenges abound, but the promise of a more inclusive financial future is a powerful motivator. With innovation and collaboration, Dalmas firmly believes that DeFi could become the key to unlocking Africa's full economic potential.
This possibility and its immense value motivate Dalmas to continue breaking key DeFi innovations and more across the globe. His engineering background further enhances his ability to deliver well-thought-out pieces that blend technical insight with clear, impactful reporting.

Beyond his professional achievements, Dalmas is deeply passionate about technology and politics. Policies drive adoption, and being at the forefront and keeping up with how they evolve is crucial for the sphere to mature.

When Dalmas is not closely monitoring the latest crypto events, he can be found in nature, exploring the picturesque countryside, and traveling with his family and friends. His love for adventure and discovery perfectly complements his investigative and reporting skills.
