DevelopingTwo-tier regime: (1) in-force mandatory AML registration for VASPs under the Money Laundering Control Act (amended July 2024) and the FSC's VASP AML Registration Regulations (effective 30 Nov 2024), administered by the Financial Supervisory Commission (FSC); and (2) a comprehensive Virtual Asset Service Act (VASP Act) approved by the Executive Yuan on 2 Apr 2026 and pending Legislative Yuan passage, which will move the sector from registration to full licensing.

Today Taiwan operates a mandatory AML registration system: any platform providing virtual-asset services to Taiwanese users must complete FSC AML registration (deadline phased through Sept 2025) or be barred from operating, with criminal penalties for non-compliance. A full licensing framework — the Virtual Asset Service Act — has been approved by the Executive Yuan (2 Apr 2026) and sent to the Legislative Yuan; once enacted it will require an FSC operating license, minimum capital, segregated custody, market-integrity controls and mandatory industry-association membership. Several providers (e.g. Binance Asia, XREX Taiwan, Taiwan Mobile) have obtained AML registration / approval under the current regime.
