Taiwan förbjuder olicensierade utländska börser att fungera
- Taiwan har infört flera policyer för att skydda kryptoanvändare från riskerna förknippade med kryptoinvesteringar.
- Taiwan’s Financial Supervisory Commission (FSC) banned foreign crypto exchanges from operating in the nation without a license.
- Binance har enligt uppgift ansökt om en licens i Taiwan enligt Money Laundering Control Act och FSC.
Taiwan’s Financial Supervisory Commission (FSC) has avtäckt en ny uppsättning strikta policyer som förbjuder oregistrerad utländsk krypto utbyten 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 ansluter sig nu till den växande listan över länder som implementerar striktare policyer för kryptoindustrin. Taiwan hävdar att de planerar att skydda kryptooperatörer och investerare genom att modellera sin politik efter de som antagits av EU, Japan och Sydkorea.
