Taiwan's central bank says issuance rules, not public chains, will decide NT dollar stablecoin

  • Taiwan's central bank requires 100% reserves for an NT dollar stablecoin
  • Paying interest to stablecoin holders is prohibited
  • Part of reserves above a set issuance threshold could be held at the central bank
  • The Virtual Asset Services Act passed on June 30, 2026; nine sub-regulations may start in Q1 2027
Why it matters: Taiwan is building one of Asia's first regimes for local-currency stablecoins, setting a benchmark for reserves and issuer eligibility.
