Taiwan’s financial watchdog has drafted ten guiding principles for virtual asset service providers — set to be released by the end of this month.
The regulator plans to stipulate in the principles that offshore crypto exchanges would not be allowed to operate in Taiwan without proper compliance registration.
These principles are expected to include strengthening information disclosure, requiring businesses to establish review standards for virtual asset listing and delisting, and ensuring the separation and custody of companies’ and customers’ assets, according to the official.
One key restriction would be to strictly prohibit the illegal solicitation of business by foreign crypto firms.
