Taiwan is nearing entry into the world of stablecoins with a move considered one of the largest in its financial history, as Financial Supervisory Commission Chairman Ping Jin-Lun revealed that the country may launch its first local stablecoin in the second half of 2026.
The currency may be pegged either to the New Taiwan Dollar or the US Dollar, reflecting a serious commitment to supporting financial innovation and expanding the use of digital assets within a regulated framework.
This step is a strong indicator of the expansion of Asian economies in adopting digital solutions safely and transparently.
