**Taiwan Tightens AML Rules for Virtual Asset Providers**
Taiwan is making a breakthrough again! 🎉 Starting January 1, 2025, all virtual asset service providers (VASPs) are required to register with the Taiwanese government before September 2025. If they don't comply, be prepared to be fined 5 million TWD or be imprisoned for 2 years! 😱
- **What's New?**
- The new AML rules replace the old ones.
- All crypto companies, even if they are already compliant, must re-register with the FSC.
- **Why Re-register?**
- To avoid penalties and ensure that all VASPs comply with the latest rules.
- **What's Next?**
- The FSC will propose a new crypto law in June 2025, with a final draft by the end of 2024.
- **Good News!**
- The FSC also allows professional investors to play in foreign virtual asset ETFs. But be careful, the risk is high!
