(Background: FinTech × Blockchain ecosystem co-building: Taiwan's three major forums focus in September to create a digital finance and supply chain hub) (Background Supplement: Are stablecoins just 'digital EasyCards'? A cognitive war that stifles Taiwan's crypto future) This article is a press release written and provided by the Taiwan Blockchain Enthusiasts Association and does not represent the position of the company. Since its inception in 2016, the Blockchain Enthusiasts Annual Conference has reached its tenth edition. This annual event organized by the 'Taiwan Blockchain Enthusiasts Association' has evolved from a small gathering of technology enthusiasts, entrepreneurs, and researchers passionate about blockchain technology into the longest-running blockchain annual summit in Taiwan, which has invited the most speakers. It not only witnesses the rise of Taiwan's Web3.0 ecosystem but also serves as a weather vane for observing domestic digital finance policies, technological trends, and innovative practices. This year, to celebrate the tenth anniversary, the theme is set as 'deX'. This name has a dual meaning: on one hand, it represents the important milestone of 'the tenth edition (decade + X cross-border)', and on the other hand, it symbolizes the spirit of decentralized exchanges (Decentralized Exchange), which is the most representative in the blockchain ecosystem, emphasizing decentralization, autonomous collaboration, and ecological co-construction. This theme also signifies that Taiwan's decentralized practice spirit has passed ten years and is ready to step into a deeper stage of digital finance and trust governance. Taiwan's oldest blockchain annual conference | From startup community to institutional innovation platform Over the past ten years, the Blockchain Enthusiasts Annual Conference has always been an important gathering point for blockchain talent in Taiwan. Many of today's active Web3.0 entrepreneurs, engineers, investors, and consultants at home and abroad have exchanged insights, formed partnerships, and shared achievements here. Gao Qi-Jun, one of the planners of this event, stated: 'Because I have served in the public sector and research institutions, previous conferences have received guidance from government agencies such as the Executive Yuan Science and Technology Conference Office, the National Development Council, the Blockchain Alliance, the Ministry of Digital Development, and the Financial Supervisory Commission, as well as continuous support from the Industrial Technology Research Institute, the Institute for Information Industry, and public associations. This year, we have formed a strategic alliance with the Taiwan FinTech Association and Taipei Blockchain Week for the first time, representing the value propositions of regulation x innovation x community, and will jointly hold events in early September, connecting the core forces of Taiwan's Web3.0 ecosystem across six days and dozens of activities, covering regulatory sandboxes, financial innovation, digital asset governance, trust frameworks, and community governance, constructing and playing the role of a dialogue bridge between 'top-down compliant operations' and 'bottom-up innovative experiments.' Four Key Sessions | In-depth Financial Practices and Digital Transformation Core Session One | New Battlefield of Digital Assets: The Crossroads of Financial Development | Digital Asset Development Research Center 2025 marks a critical juncture in the formation of a global regulatory framework for virtual assets. From the formal legislation in the United States (GENIUS Act) to the implementation of the EU MiCA bill, regulatory systems in countries like Japan, Singapore, and South Korea are also gradually becoming clearer. Taiwan's financial system is also facing a moment of choice between 'exclusive operation' or 'combined operation' of digital assets. Current financial services are at a crucial transformation juncture. The three core scenarios of traditional payments, deposits, and loans are gradually evolving into a more flexible and globally potential 'Hold, Earn, Trade' service model under the drive of digital asset technology. In the payment field, consumption methods that used to rely on credit cards and electronic payments are gradually expanding to on-chain payments and cross-border settlements using stablecoins as a medium, providing a more efficient and low-cost trading experience. In terms of deposit mechanisms, banks originally relied on interest margin income between New Taiwan Dollar and foreign currencies to generate profits through the difference in deposit and loan interest rates. Today, they are gradually introducing digital asset custody and staking services, allowing asset holders to earn additional income while ensuring security. Regarding lending services, traditional financing for small and medium enterprises, syndicate loans, and project financing are connecting with digital asset collateral management technology, allowing tokenized assets to serve as real-time, transparent, and programmable lending collateral, significantly improving capital utilization efficiency and risk management flexibility. This transformation from traditional finance to a fusion of virtual and real is reshaping the entire financial infrastructure and bringing new imagination to the future of asset management and market operations. This is not only a trend sharing but also a rethinking and redesign of the core business model for financial practitioners. Session Two | Guardians of Digital Mines: Virtual Asset Anti-Money Laundering and Anti-Fraud Conference Fraud and money laundering groups take advantage of Taiwan's judicial mutual assistance difficulties and the time-consuming nature of currency flow tracking, heavily utilizing virtual assets as tools for crime. According to statistics from the Criminal Investigation Bureau, nearly one-fifth of the financial losses from fraud in Taiwan are related to virtual asset fraud. In 2025, upgrading the energy to combat virtual asset crime through technology, systems, and law enforcement collaboration will become critical and urgent. This year's anti-fraud and anti-money laundering forum features heavyweight guests including: Binance APAC Compliance Officer Wilson Cheung: sharing on-site experiences of Binance obtaining the most licenses in the world, from internal control measures for fraud and anti-money laundering on the trading platform, KYT (Know-Your-Transaction) rules, to successful cases of cooperation with law enforcement agencies in various countries to combat crime, sharing international anti-fraud and anti-money laundering measures for industry practitioners' reference. Leading global on-chain monitoring and transfer rule solution providers: such as the world's largest currency flow tracking company Chainalysis and Merkle Science, and transfer rule system providers VerifyVasp, GTR, etc., will share international practical experiences in Taiwan. Representatives from Taiwan's law enforcement and legal experts: will jointly explore how to prosecute on-chain crimes under the local legal system and establish an integrated operational model with technological tools, sharing through practical cases. This is a deep dialogue between international and local, technology and rule of law, and is also an important practical field for Taiwan to move toward a blockchain-compliant nation.
