Economy & Regulation

The Financial Supervisory Commission of Taiwan has indicated its intentions to maintain only a limited oversight of cryptocurrencies.
The regulator said it’s going to focus mainly on the enforcement of anti-money laundering policies, while remaining open towards innovations like those coming from the crypto sector.
The regulator is only involved in preventing money laundering through virtual assets, the official reiterated before the media.
Sherri Chuang compared the situation with that of the lease finance companies, where the involvement of the regulator is also limited to money laundering prevention.
Earlier in April, Taiwan’s Central Bank signaled it would favor regulating cryptocurrencies under the country’s existing anti-money laundering laws.
