<p style="text-align: justify">Taiwan officially introduced a cryptocurrency law for the first reading in the parliament. According to official records, the proposed bill to regulate cryptocurrencies passed the first readings in Taiwan’s Legislative Yuan.</p>

<p style="text-align: justify">Yung-Chang Chiang, the legislator who jointly proposed the special law, stated, “After the first readings of the bill, discussions about the regulatory framework for the cryptocurrency industry have moved to the next stage.
