Taiwan Mobile Enters Crypto Market as VASP Member

As a researcher with a background in finance and technology, I am excited about the recent development of Taiwan Mobile’s entry into the cryptocurrency market as a Virtual Asset Service Provider (VASP). Taiwan Mobile, with its vast user base of 9.86 million, brings significant resources and expertise to the industry. This move is expected to boost the sector and contribute to the promotion of FinTech in Taiwan.


Taiwan Mobile Company Limited, a significant player in Taiwan’s telecommunications industry, has formally joined the cryptocurrency sector by registering as a Virtual Asset Service Provider (VASP).

On July 5, Taiwan Mobile, which functions under Fu Sheng Digital Co Ltd, became the 26th business to receive a VASP membership certificate from Taiwan’s Financial Supervisory Commission (FSC). This certification verifies that Taiwan Mobile complies with anti-money laundering laws, a necessary condition for obtaining VASP membership, in accordance with FSC regulations.
