The timeline, announced by Financial Supervisory Commission (FSC) Chair Peng Jin-lon, is contingent on the passage of landmark digital asset legislation, signaling a measured and regulatory-first approach to integrating cryptocurrencies into the formal economy.

The Financial Supervisory Commission (FSC) is considering new legislation to regulate the cryptocurrency industry, requiring virtual asset service providers (VASPs) to obtain permits within 15 months of the law’s enactment. All VASPs will be classified as financial institutions, and personal trading will be prohibited post-legislation. The FSC plans to oversee stablecoins jointly with the central bank, emphasizing asset separation and transparency to protect client interests. A public hearing will be held this month to gather feedback on the draft legislation, expected to be revealed next month.
