 Taiwan’s financial regulator, the Financial Supervisory Commission, has released new guidelines aimed at streamlining the crypto exchange space in the country. Specifically, the watchdog has outlined guidelines for virtual asset services providers (VASPs) as it looks to bolster its crypto regulation. 
 The new guidelines were highlighted in a new report the FSC published Tuesday, September 26, 2023. Wu Blockchain shared news of the development via X, including a link to the Financial Supervisory Commission’s publication.

 Per the <a rel="dofollow" title="guidelines" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/guidelines.html">guidelines</a>, <a rel="dofollow" title="crypto" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/crypto.html">crypto</a> platforms must integrate and make public mechanisms for listing and delisting assets, segregation of customer funds from <a rel="dofollow" title="exchange" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/exchange.html">exchange</a> assets and having a security management system in place. Information disclosures are also emphasised, with details on internal audits and other procedures a requirement. 
 More than that, the FSC says any offshore crypto exchange seeking to offer products and services must register before offering services to Taiwan customers. 
 “Overseas virtual asset platform operators are not allowed to solicit business within the territory of Taiwan or from Taiwan citizens, unless they have been registered in accordance with the Company Law, submitted to the Financial Supervisory Commission and completed a declaration of compliance with money laundering prevention laws,” a translation of the <a rel="dofollow" title="guidelines" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/guidelines.html">guidelines</a> reads in part. 
 According to the FSC, VASPs will be allowed to form or join self-regulatory standards organisations once the new guidelines are officially released.&nbsp; 
 The goal is to promote self-discipline within the industry, with relevant VASP associations outlining the standards and norms based that <a rel="dofollow" title="crypto" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/crypto.html">crypto</a> platforms will need to embrace to enhance customer protection.
