Taiwan Allows Professional Investors to Access Bitcoin ETFs

The Financial Supervisory Commission (FSC) of Taiwan has announced the reauthorization allowing professional investors to invest in cryptocurrency ETFs, including spot Bitcoin ETFs. This development comes as Chinese legislative bodies cautiously propose a crypto transition in response to increasing market demands for spot Bitcoin ETFs.

New Regulations for Crypto ETFs

In its announcement, the FSC reported that it has begun consulting with the Securities Investment Business Association of the Republic of China to review the investment risks associated with foreign crypto ETFs. This decision aims to provide investors with a variety of product options and increase the reauthorization process for securities firms.

The Role of Professional Investors

The FSC suggests that professional investors should manage their investments in these high-risk ETFs through reauthorization. This move is seen as a significant step for the market, especially following Taiwan Mobile’s acquisition of a virtual asset service provider (VASP) license. A FSC official emphasized, “It is crucial for professional investors to manage these investments considering their level of knowledge and experience.”

Restrictions for Retail Investors

Initially, retail investors in Taiwan will not have access to cryptocurrency ETFs. Those allowed to invest will include institutional investors, high-net-worth entities, and individual investors with significant asset portfolios. Securities firms must obtain board approval before accessing spot Bitcoin ETFs. Additionally, clients’ knowledge and experience regarding virtual assets will be assessed to facilitate their initial investments. Before the first acquisition of a crypto ETF by non-institutional clients, a risk warning letter must be signed. Furthermore, securities firms are required to provide detailed product information about the ETFs and conduct regular training on virtual assets. The Taiwan FSC will closely monitor the implementation of these measures, continuously improving regulations to enhance the competitiveness of securities firms while protecting investors.

With new reauthorization from the FSC, professional investors in Taiwan gain the ability to invest in cryptocurrency ETFs. This decision, aimed at creating a more informed and protected investment environment, can increase Taiwan's competitiveness in the international cryptocurrency market.
