Savannah Fortis18 hours agoTaiwan aims for crypto law by November: ReportLawmakers in Taiwan are aiming to create a first draft of a special law about offshore exchanges by the end of November 2023.1399 Total views28 Total sharesListen to article 0:00NewsJoin us on social networksLawmakers in Taiwan are reportedly aiming to push out a first draft of a special law by the end of November 2023, according to a report from The Block. 


Yung-Chang Chiang, an official in the Legislative Yuan of Taiwan, said in an interview that he intends for the first draft to be available for reading by parliament by the end of November or sooner and that such an act is “necessary” to regulate crypto-related businesses.


This comes as lawmakers in Taiwan have growing concerns over activity in offshore markets and seek to avoid “regulatory arbitrage.” Chiang says crypto assets differ from traditional financial products and need to be governed via a special law.


On Oct. 6, he held a public hearing in the Taiwanese parliament including digital asset service providers, academics and others in the industry that discussed the draft proposal.

This follows guidelines released on Sept. 26 by Taiwan’s Financial Supervisory Commission that moved to improve cryptocurrency investor protections.


The guidelines included rules blanketing the industry, including separating assets in exchanges’ treasury from those of the customer and mechanisms for reviewing the listing and delisting of digital assets.


Additionally, the rules state that foreign virtual asset service providers cannot provide services in Taiwan without the necessary approvals from local regulatory authorities.


On the same day, major cryptocurrency exchanges operating in Taiwan formed an association to advance industry interests.
