AI Supply Chain Drives Cross-Border Capital Flow Demand, Taiwan's Virtual Asset Subsidiary Regulations Expected to Take Effect as Early as Q1 Next Year

TechFlow reports that on September 3, Peng Jinlong, Chairman of Taiwan's Financial Supervisory Commission, stated that the Virtual Asset Services Act was passed on third reading on June 30 this year. The commission is currently drafting nine subsidiary regulations covering stablecoin-related rules, which are scheduled to be published and implemented as early as Q1 next year. As technologies such as AI and blockchain advance, financial markets in Taiwan and globally are evolving toward a three-track parallel model integrating traditional finance, digital finance, and blockchain finance. Demand for cross-border payments, trade financing, and fund allocation within semiconductor supply chains is surging, with stablecoins, blockchain, and fintech increasingly viewed as the new infrastructure underpinning cross-border capital flows.
