According to Taiwan's Financial Supervisory Commission, announced today at the 2026 Taiwan Week forum, the country's virtual asset monitoring framework will enter full implementation in Q1 2027. The FSC confirmed 9 sub-regulations for the Virtual Asset Service Provider (VASP) law, governing financial management, operations, cybersecurity, and stablecoin services.
The FSC employs a four-stage phased approach: Stage 1 requires anti-money laundering reporting and inspections; Stage 2 supports industry association establishment and self-regulation; Stage 3 implements a registration system with criminal penalties for non-compliant operators; Stage 4 (Q1 2027) makes the law and sub-regulations fully effective, establishing comprehensive business oversight and licensing requirements for VASP operators.
