The Republic of OnChain: Taiwan’s Digital Asset Ambition
Join Delphine Forma, Head of Policy at Solidus Labs, as she sits down with Dr. Ju-Chun Ko, Member of Taiwan's Legislative Yuan — technologist, podcaster and entrepreneur turned lawmaker, and one of the key architects of Taiwan's Virtual Asset Service Act and AI basic Act.
They explore how Taiwan is building a comprehensive digital asset regulatory framework — moving beyond AML-focused registration to a full licensing regime, embedding market integrity requirements, and positioning one of the world's most important technology economies as a serious contender in the global digital asset race. A rare conversation with someone who has shaped the legislation, not just responded to it.
They discuss:
- Taiwan’s Virtual Asset Service Provider Act and the transition from AML registration to licensing
- What the new framework could mean for local and international digital asset businesses
- Fraud, money laundering and financial crime in Taiwan’s crypto market
- The opportunities for stablecoins, tokenisation and tokenised securities
- Taiwan’s AI Basic Act and its approach to balancing innovation and fundamental rights
- How Taiwan could position itself as a digital asset and technology hub in Asia
