FSC Introduces Comprehensive Taiwan’s Crypto Guidelines

Under these newly unveiled Taiwan’s crypto guidelines, domestic cryptocurrency platforms are now required to implement several key measures to ensure the safety and transparency of their operations. These measures include the separation and secure custody of both company and customer assets, the establishment of rigorous review standards for virtual asset listings and delistings, and the reinforcement of information disclosure.

Moreover, platforms issuing virtual assets must now disclose comprehensive whitepapers on their websites, providing investors with crucial transparency. Additionally, to safeguard client assets, platforms are mandated to segregate legal currency and virtual assets received from clients from their own assets.

Local Exchanges Collaborate Toward Cryptocurrency Industry Association

Taiwan’s crypto guidelines also emphasize the implementation of customer protection regulations founded on principles such as fairness, reasonableness, equality, reciprocity, and integrity. To guarantee ongoing security and reliability, platforms will establish robust management systems for their day-to-day operations, information security, and the safeguarding of hot and cold wallet private keys.

In a related development, it has been reported that nine cryptocurrency exchanges in Taiwan have jointly formed a working group aimed at paving the way for the establishment of a cryptocurrency industry association, underscoring the sector’s commitment to self-regulation and collaboration.
