Taiwan's Financial Supervisory Commission (FSC) intends to impose restrictions on the operations of foreign cryptocurrency exchanges that have not registered with the regulator.
The agency has reportedly developed 10 guidelines for the activities of virtual asset service providers (VASPs).
The FSC plans to publish the document by the end of the month. The regulation is expected to be adjusted based on local experience and international practices.

The FSC has also mentioned internal control mechanisms and anti-money laundering requirements in the document.
