Taiwan holds 210.45 BTC in seized crypto assets.
Total value of seized virtual assets is NT$1.3 billion.
Lawmakers push for stricter digital asset regulation.
Taiwan’s Ministry of Justice has disclosed that it currently holds 210.45 Bitcoin (BTC) in confiscated digital assets. This announcement was made public by Legislator Ju-Chun Ko, shedding light on the government’s increasing involvement in crypto-related investigations and seizures.
The seized BTC, along with other virtual assets, totals a value of NT$1.3 billion (approximately $41 million USD). These assets were seized as part of legal actions against criminal activities involving digital currencies, such as money laundering, fraud, and illicit online operations.
Lawmakers Urge Clearer Regulation
The revelation has sparked a debate among lawmakers and regulators. While the government has been successful in tracking and seizing digital currencies tied to criminal cases, questions remain around how these assets are managed, stored, and eventually liquidated.
Legislator Ko emphasized the need for transparent procedures in handling confiscated crypto and pushed for the development of a more robust regulatory framework. The aim is to ensure proper valuation, storage, and potential use or auctioning of such assets by the state.
