#COM# #RWA# #投資策略# In 2025, Taiwan’s blockchain applications will make a breakthrough, especially in the improvement of digital asset exchanges and cryptocurrency regulations. Taiwanese digital asset exchanges such as Gate have emerged in the market, and Taiwan’s cryptocurrency regulations have also achieved important milestones on the road to institutionalization. With the continued advancement of Taiwan’s blockchain startups and the maturity of cryptocurrency investment strategies, Taiwan’s Bitcoin mining industry has also flourished. This article will delve into the latest developments in these areas and reveal their far-reaching impact on Taiwan’s digital economy.

Taiwan’s digital asset exchange market is undergoing a significant transformation. As the global cryptocurrency market moves from the margins to the mainstream, Taiwanese digital asset exchange operators face new development opportunities and challenges. As a global trading platform, Gate.com has demonstrated strong competitiveness in the Taiwanese market. Its user-friendly interface, ample liquidity, and support for diversified trading pairs have attracted a large number of Taiwanese investors. According to 2025 market data, the market share of major global digital asset exchanges has stabilized, with high-quality exchanges accounting for over 70% of the total global trading volume. Taiwanese investors’ demand for compliant and transparent trading platforms continues to grow, prompting exchange operators to strengthen risk control mechanisms and user protection measures. The development of Taiwan’s digital asset exchanges has not only enhanced the professionalism of the local investment environment but also laid a solid foundation for the blockchain application ecosystem in Taiwan.

Taiwan has made significant progress in the field of cryptocurrency regulation. The year 2025 has officially become a key year for the development of blockchain applications in Taiwan. The Financial Supervisory Commission (FSC) has become the competent authority for Virtual Asset Service Providers (VASPs) and has issued ten guiding principles for managing virtual asset platforms. Most importantly, Taiwan is about to enact its first dedicated “Virtual Asset Service Act,” marking the formal institutionalization of Taiwan’s cryptocurrency regulatory system. International regulatory standards such as the EU’s MiCA framework and the US’s “Genius Act” have become benchmarks for reference by various countries, and Taiwan’s cryptocurrency regulations are being continuously improved based on them. According to recommendations from the Financial Stability Board (FSB), jurisdictions should establish comprehensive regulatory frameworks, and Taiwan is actively implementing this goal, expecting to strengthen consumer protection and anti-money laundering measures through new regulations. Taiwan’s vision of becoming a blockchain financial center will be built on a transparent and robust legal framework.

Taiwan’s blockchain innovation applications have extended to multiple industries. In supply chain finance, CTBC Bank has collaborated with international companies such as IBM and SAP to help Taiwanese companies like Fusheng and ADATA promote blockchain applications in supply chain finance, solving the problem of funding breaks in cross-border supply chains. These practical cases of Taiwanese blockchain startups prove that blockchain technology has real value in solving actual business challenges. In the medical field, blockchain is used for medical record management and pharmaceutical traceability; in smart city development, blockchain is used for identity authentication and data governance. Notably, Taiwan’s blockchain applications are not limited to virtual asset transactions; more companies are exploring the possibilities of Real-World Asset (RWA) tokenization. The gold RWA pilot promoted by Bank of Taiwan reflects Taiwan’s proactive attitude toward asset digitization. According to data from the 2025 Blockchain Enthusiasts Annual Conference, enterprise application scenarios in Taiwan’s blockchain industry have exceeded 50, covering finance, supply chain, medical care, and other industries.

Taiwanese investors’ cryptocurrency investment strategies are becoming more mature and rational. Compliant exchanges have gained investor trust by actively adhering to financial regulatory systems, significantly improving trading liquidity and security. Institutional investor participation has increased significantly, driving the crypto market towards a stable development stage. Taiwan’s cryptocurrency investment strategies should focus on long-term compliant platforms and blockchain applications with real business models, rather than short-term speculation targets. At this stage, the number of bitcoins held by global listed companies has exceeded 1 million, indicating that enterprise-level asset allocation now includes digital assets. For Taiwanese investors, understanding Taiwan’s changing cryptocurrency regulations and international regulatory trends is crucial. The application of stablecoins in cross-border payments has gradually matured, and corporate clients have begun to actively explore the possibility of using stablecoins for international settlements. Risk management and a long-term investment perspective will be the core strategic elements for Taiwanese investors in the current market environment.
