Taiwan Authorities Say Island's First Regulated Stablecoin Will Debut Next Year

Regulators have not decided whether the token will be tied to the Taiwan dollar or the U.S. dollar, a choice that will determine how deeply it tests the island’s currency controls.

What to know:

  • Taiwan's first locally issued stablecoin could launch in late 2026, pending regulatory decisions on the currency backing.
  • The Financial Supervisory Commission is drafting regulations that could allow financial institutions to lead the initial issuance of stablecoins.
  • The decision on whether the stablecoin will be tied to the U.S. dollar or Taiwan dollar remains unresolved.

Taiwan could see its first locally issued stablecoin go live in the second half of 2026, though regulators have not yet decided on the currency the token will be tied to.

Local media in Taiwan report Financial Supervisory Commission Chair Peng Jin-long told lawmakers this week that the draft Virtual Assets Service Act has cleared initial cabinet reviews and could pass its third reading next session. Regulations specific to stablecoins would follow within six months, putting the earliest possible launch in late 2026.

The legislation does not restrict issuers to banks, although the FSC and Taiwan’s central bank have agreed that financial institutions will lead issuance in the initial stage, Peng said.

What remains unclear is the currency backing: A stablecoin is a digital token whose value is tied to that of a real-world asset such as a fiat currency. Peng said the stablecoin could be pegged to the U.S. dollar or the Taiwan dollar, depending on market demand, but no decision has been made.

A U.S. dollar-backed coin would bypass the thorniest issue in Taiwan’s financial system: the strict limits on exporting the Taiwan currency offshore.

Taiwan’s currency cannot legally circulate offshore, and the central bank has a long record of policing attempts to use it for transactions without a direct connection to the island.

Stablecoins by design facilitate cross-border settlement, a feature that could undermine decades of efforts to keep the currency onshore and prevent unofficial offshore pricing.

For now, regulators are drafting rules based on full reserve backing, strict segregation of assets and domestic custody requirements.

But the basic question of what currency Taiwan’s first stablecoin will represent remains unresolved, and the choice will determine whether the project becomes a low-risk payments tool or a challenge to the island’s currency framework.

Solana Treasury Stocks: Why Are These Companies Buying Up SOL?

Solana Treasury Stocks: Why Are These Companies Buying Up SOL?

The post Solana Treasury Stocks: Why Are These Companies Buying Up SOL? appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. In 2020, everyone watched Strategy (called Microstrategy back then) scoop up Bitcoin and turn corporate crypto treasuries into a mainstream story. Now, a new wave is forming. And it’s centered on Solana. Dozens of companies are holding SOL as a bet on price. Except they’re not just holding. They’re building what’s being called Solana treasuries or Digital Asset Treasuries (DATs). These aren’t passive vaults. They’re active strategies that stake, earn yield, and tie into the fast-growing Solana ecosystem. Forward Industries, a Nasdaq-listed firm, recently bought more than 6.8 million SOL, making it the world’s largest Solana treasury company. Others like Helius Medical, Upexi, and DeFi Development are following a similar playbook, turning SOL into a centerpiece of their balance sheets. The trend is clear: Solana treasury stocks are emerging as a new class of crypto-exposed equities. And for investors, the question isn’t just who’s buying but why this strategy is spreading so fast. Key highlights: Solana treasuries (DATs) are corporate reserves of SOL designed to earn yield through staking and DeFi. Companies like Forward Industries, Helius Medical, Upexi, and DeFi Development Corp now hold millions of SOL. Public firms collectively own 17.1M SOL (≈$4B), which makes Solana one of the most adopted treasuries. Unlike Bitcoin treasuries, Solana holdings generate 6–8% annual rewards. It makes reserves into productive assets Solana treasury stocks are emerging as a new way for investors to gain indirect exposure to SOL. Risks remain: volatility, regulation, and concentrated holdings. But corporate adoption is growing fast. What is a Solana treasury (DAT)? A Solana treasury, sometimes called a Digital Asset Treasury (DAT), is when a company holds SOL as part of its balance sheet. But unlike Bitcoin treasuries, these usually aren’t just static reserves sitting in cold storage.  The key difference is productivity. SOL can be staked directly…
