(Central News Agency reporter Su Ssu-yun, Taipei, May 6) To promote Real World Asset (RWA) tokenization products, the Financial Supervisory Commission (FSC) report indicates that it will refer to international RWA token development trends, as well as expert scholars' and industry opinions, planning to first target bonds and gold for implementation. Related peripheral units have also established an "RWA Token Platform Project Team," and the FSC has requested them to build the system for early launch under feasible and secure conditions.
The Legislative Yuan's Finance Committee will invite FSC Chairman Peng Jin-lung tomorrow to deliver a special report on "The Promotion and Outlook of Financial Technology Development Business" and be questioned.
Regarding the promotion of Real World Asset (RWA) tokenization, the FSC report states that to build a complete RWA token ecosystem, it has completed proof-of-concept (POC) for domestic bonds, foreign bonds, and funds as tokenization targets. Taiwan Bank has also collaborated with 8 banks to complete a joint verification project for interbank on-chain gold token clearing and physical gold withdrawal.
To smoothly promote RWA tokenization products, the FSC, referring to international RWA token development trends, expert scholars, and industry opinions, plans to first target bonds and gold for implementation.
Peripheral units such as the Taiwan Depository & Clearing Corporation (TDCC) have also established an "RWA Token Platform Project Team" to study platform operating models, blockchain technology adoption directions, legal frameworks, and market infrastructure. The FSC has requested relevant units to build the system for early implementation under feasible and secure conditions.
The FSC also explained that it is currently drafting the "Virtual Asset Service Act." After the Executive Yuan approved and sent it to the Legislative Yuan on April 2 this year, the Executive Yuan will designate the effective date after the legislative process is completed, and the FSC will cooperate to complete the formulation of relevant subsidiary laws.
The FSC pointed out that the "Virtual Asset Service Act" draft already includes a special chapter on "Stablecoin Issuance and Management," which stipulates that stablecoin issuance within Taiwan requires permission, and must maintain full reserve assets, issue and redeem stablecoins at par value, prohibit interest payments, etc., and requires the establishment of internal control and audit and information security management systems, reporting and disclosure of relevant information. After the special law is completed, the FSC will formulate and issue subsidiary laws to open applications for stablecoin issuance.
As for the future promotion priorities of financial technology, the FSC pointed out five major promotion directions, including enhancing financial cybersecurity resilience, establishing regular communication mechanisms between financial institutions and VASP operators, developing programmable AI, guiding appropriate application of agentic AI in response to its development, and improving application management regulations based on the AI risk classification framework.
The FSC pointed out that the FinTech Industry Alliance is promoting a "Programmable AI Governance Project" to study domestic and international AI governance regulations, and based on the AI governance framework proposed in the FSC's "Guidelines for Financial Industry's Use of AI," it will identify AI application scenarios for financial institutions and set quantifiable risk assessment indicators.
In addition, considering the characteristics of agentic AI, such as goal-oriented, task planning, multi-step execution, ability to call tools, and cross-system data access, the FSC will study amending relevant regulations or guidelines to guide financial institutions in safely using the technology and establishing a secure governance framework.
