Today, PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC) released its 'Global Cryptocurrency Regulation Report 2025,' examining rapidly evolving digital asset regulatory landscapes and analyzing policy changes in over 50 jurisdictions. The report explores shifts in the U.S. approach to crypto regulation, implementation of the EU’s Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulations (MiCA), and emerging global frameworks.
Wu Wei-Tai, Managing Partner for Financial Services at PwC Taiwan, noted that recent industry trends and market reactions suggest America remains a key influence on digital asset futures. The borderless nature of cryptocurrencies has prompted governments worldwide to develop related regulations aimed at protecting investors while maintaining market stability and fostering financial innovation.
According to Wu Wei-Tai, the Financial Supervisory Commission (FSC) in Taiwan began announcing measures such as allowing professional investors’ re-delegation investments into virtual asset ETFs starting in 2023. It also launched a trial for virtual asset custody services and had drafted an outline of a Virtual Asset Service Act based on foreign regulations by March 2025, marking significant progress in regulation.
Wu Shang-Chun, CPA at PwC Taiwan’s Financial Services Department, stated that the global regulatory environment established in 2025 is helping cryptocurrency markets transition from uncertainty toward clearer systems. This fosters closer integration between fintech and traditional finance, driving maturity of applications like stablecoins and asset tokenization; financial accounting practices will be a key focus area.
Hu You-Zhen, CPA at PwC Taiwan’s Financial Services Department, pointed out that the characteristics of virtual currencies within the financial sector facilitate cross-border payments and improve financial efficiency. International standard-setting bodies are addressing risks arising from crypto transactions; currently, tax regulations for such activities rely on existing laws without specific legislation, leaving many issues unresolved.
