Peter Kerstens, known as the 'Godfather of MiCA', will be visiting Taiwan from September 1 to 2 to attend FinTechOn 2025 and the AFA Summit, adding international-level recommendations for Taiwan's forward-looking virtual asset legislation. (Background: FinTech × Blockchain Ecological Co-construction: Taiwan's three major forums focus in September to create a digital finance and supply chain hub) (Additional context: Financial Supervisory Commission: Virtual asset exchanges are prohibited from 'cash transactions'! Only bank transfers and other traceable cash flows are allowed) This article is a press release written and provided by FinTechOn 2025 and the AFA Summit. Peter Kerstens, a technical innovation and cybersecurity policy advisor for the European Commission, known as the 'Godfather of MiCA', will be attending FinTechOn 2025 and the AFA Summit in Taiwan from September 1 to 2. (The Market in Crypto-Assets Regulation Act) (MiCA) is a globally leading and comprehensive regulatory framework for virtual assets, profoundly impacting the future of finance and digital asset applications. Peter Kerstens' rare visit to Taiwan and public speech is expected to be a focal point for innovative regulation, fintech, and traditional financial industries this year. The United States has just passed a milestone (GENIUS Act), promoting the compliance regulation and mainstream application of stablecoins, while global financial markets are rapidly increasing their attention to blockchain technology, which is at a 'ChatGPT moment' that could lead to disruptive breakthroughs. Meanwhile, governments around the world are accelerating digital asset legislation and regulation, striving to balance innovation and risk, making the current moment a critical juncture for global digital finance development. Peter Kerstens' visit to Taiwan under such circumstances presents a rare opportunity to hear directly from an international policymaker, providing strategic international insights for the global supply chain and fintech ecosystem to seize opportunities in the new wave of technological transformation. Recently, Peter Kerstens stated at the Fintech Summit & Awards that the fintech industry is not just about technological innovation, but a collaborative result of policy, market, and risk management. He emphasized: Industry unity and cooperation are very important, and close communication with regulatory agencies and policymakers must be maintained. Many people talk about the challenges of fintech, but I believe these challenges are actually opportunities. Of course, opportunities and innovations always come with risks, so the industry must be brave enough to take risks and move forward with a responsible attitude. He also called on fintech practitioners to actively engage in dialogue with regulators to promote mutual understanding and jointly push the industry towards a sound and innovative direction. Cai Yuling, the honorary chairman of the Taiwan Fintech Association and the first chairman of the Asia FinTech Alliance (AFA), stated: Peter Kerstens previously participated online, but this year he will attend in person, fully demonstrating the importance that international leaders place on Taiwan. Taiwan not only has a robust financial system and top-notch tech talent but is also a key link in the global supply chain. The combination of fintech and supply chains will be the most promising application scenario, and Taiwan should not only not be absent but should also secure a place. FinTechOn is an annual forum guided by the National Development Council and hosted by the Taiwan Fintech Association (TFTA). The Chairman of the Financial Supervisory Commission, Peng Jinlong, Minister of Digital Development, Huang Yannan, Deputy Minister of the National Development Council, Zhan Fangguan, and Deputy Minister of Economic Affairs, Jiang Wenruo, will all attend and speak to share Taiwan's latest policy direction and international cooperation expectations. As the most authoritative financial technology policy discussion platform in Taiwan, FinTechOn has set this year's theme as 'FinTech × New Landscape of Global Supply Chains' and will first combine AFA to invite representatives from fintech associations in 15 countries and regions to hold the inaugural AFA Summit in Taipei, bringing experiences and observations from different countries to learn best practices in the face of rapid technological changes and fragmented, fast-moving supply chains. FintechOn 2025 and the AFA Summit are not only important financial policy discussion platforms for Taiwan but also key events in the development of the fintech ecosystem in the Asia-Pacific region, promoting the integration of supply chains and fintech towards a smarter, more resilient, and robust future.
