Taiwan’s Financial Supervisory Commission (FSC) has dévoilé un nouvel ensemble de politiques strictes interdisant les cryptomonnaies étrangères non enregistrées des échanges from operating there. The regulator said the measures were part of the country’s commitment to improve investor protection and encourage responsible conduct in the cryptocurrency sector.

The FCS’s new guidelines are primarily directed at Taiwan-based virtual asset service providers (VASPs). The regulations define mechanisms for listing and delisting cryptocurrency assets, as well as standard processes such as separating the exchange’s treasury assets from client assets.

The FSC also warned foreign crypto exchanges not to operate in Taiwan without the necessary license. The regulator stated that “overseas 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.”

The regulator also encouraged VASPs to support self-regulation in the cryptocurrency sector, as appropriate VASP organizations are expected to develop self-regulatory standards based on the guidelines’ content.

The FSC added that “platforms should implement customer protection regulations based on the principles of fairness and reasonableness, equality, reciprocity, and good faith.”

In addition, Taiwanese lawmakers recently proposed a revision to the law to establish a specific bureau within the FSC for crypto-related matters. If approved, this plan would bring the crypto industry to the FCS’s jurisdiction alongside insurance, banking, auditing, and securities.

Taiwan rejoint désormais la liste croissante de pays mettant en œuvre des politiques plus strictes pour l’industrie de la cryptographie. Taïwan affirme qu'il prévoit de protéger les opérateurs de cryptographie et les investisseurs en calquant ses politiques sur celles adoptées par l'Union européenne, le Japon et la Corée du Sud.
