Taiwan verbiedt buitenlandse valuta zonder vergunning
- Taiwan heeft verschillende beleidsmaatregelen ingevoerd om crypto-gebruikers te beschermen tegen de risico’s die gepaard gaan met crypto-investeringen.
- Taiwan’s Financial Supervisory Commission (FSC) banned foreign crypto exchanges from operating in the nation without a license.
- Binance heeft naar verluidt een licentie aangevraagd in Taiwan onder de Money Laundering Control Act en de FSC.
Taiwan’s Financial Supervisory Commission (FSC) has onthuld een nieuwe reeks strikte beleidsmaatregelen die niet-geregistreerde buitenlandse cryptovaluta verbieden uitwisselingen 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 sluit zich nu aan bij de groeiende lijst van landen die een strenger beleid voor de crypto-industrie implementeren. Taiwan beweert dat het van plan is crypto-exploitanten en investeerders te beschermen door zijn beleid te modelleren naar dat van de Europese Unie, Japan en Zuid-Korea.
