In Response to the Rapid Institutional Development of Global Digital Assets
To respond to the rapid institutional development trend of global digital assets and to enhance our country’s dual momentum in policy formulation and industrial innovation, the “Digital Asset Development Research Center” (DADRC) was jointly initiated by the Taiwan Blockchain Enthusiasts Association, the Institute for Information Industry’s Digital Transformation Institute Financial Technology Center, and the Taiwan Asia-Pacific RegTech Association. It officially commenced operations on May 5 this year, signifying a new starting point for upgrading Taiwan’s digital financial ecosystem.
Global Digital Asset Development Trends and Taiwan’s Current Situation
In recent years, major jurisdictions around the world have actively constructed regulatory frameworks for stablecoins and virtual assets. The U.S. Congress is promoting the “Geni Act” bill, Japan has opened up offshore business for international operators such as Circle and SBI, and Hong Kong has launched a stablecoin sandbox, indicating that digital asset regulation has entered an institutionalized era. On the corporate side, Mastercard has partnered with several operators to expand stablecoin payments, foreshadowing significant changes in future payment and cross-border financial scenarios.
In Taiwan, the Financial Supervisory Commission (FSC) announced the draft of the “Virtual Asset Service Act” in February, expected to be submitted to the Executive Yuan for review by the end of June, marking the official entry of Taiwan’s regulatory system into its institutionalization year. As regulations gradually become clearer, Taiwan’s fintech industry is ushering in unprecedented development opportunities.
The Mission and Positioning of the Digital Asset Development Research Center
The “Digital Asset Development Research Center” will focus on policy research for digital assets, regulatory support, and industry practice integration, aiming to become an important think tank for authorities and an innovation promotion platform for the financial industry. The center will facilitate communication between the industry and regulatory agencies, promoting seamless alignment between policy and practice, and enhancing Taiwan’s competitiveness in participating in global virtual asset regulatory governance and industrial layout.
On the day of its establishment, a summit forum was held, inviting domestic and international experts, scholars, and industry leaders to conduct in-depth discussions on six major topics including the development of stablecoins, regulatory policies, custody practices, and cross-border applications. The forum also invited internationally renowned companies such as Zodia Custody and Mastercard to share their global digital asset application experiences, helping Taiwan grasp new trends in digital assets and opportunities for regulatory innovation.
