BTCUSD

Taiwan's Financial Supervisory Commission (FSC) is taking a cautious approach to cryptocurrency ETFs due to the volatility of the crypto market. The FSC plans to research foreign cryptocurrency futures products and ETFs before easing regulations. The SEC's review of a Bitcoin spot ETF and Bitcoin's value surge have sparked interest in Taiwan for similar financial products. Internationally, exchanges like the Chicago Mercantile Exchange, Intercontinental Exchange, and others have listed various cryptocurrency futures and ETFs. Taiwan may consider 'cryptocurrency concept ETFs' focusing on related companies rather than direct cryptocurrency price linkage.
