Taiwan's Cryptocurrency Regulatory Environment

- 2023: The FSC officially included Virtual Asset Service Providers (VASPs) under its regulation.
- Anti-Money Laundering Act: Cryptocurrency exchanges are required to comply with AML regulations.
- Identity Verification: All exchange users must complete KYC (Know Your Customer) procedures.
- Binance has completed the Anti-Money Laundering Compliance Declaration in Taiwan.
There are currently over 20 cryptocurrency exchanges operating in Taiwan, including local platforms like MAX, BitoPro, and ACE, as well as international platforms like Binance.
