FinTechOn 2025 and AFA Summit, which will grandly kick off on September 1, will welcome heavyweight guests, sharing first-hand observations from the United States! GBBC CEO Sandra Ro is one of the behind-the-scenes drivers of the GENIUS Act, having been appointed as the Senate representative of New York State's Digital Currency Working Group, and joined the Global Markets Advisory Committee (GMAC) and Digital Assets Market Subcommittee (DAMS) of the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) in 2023, co-hosting the 'Taxonomy & Tokenization Infrastructure' work plan. The GBBC, led by Sandra Ro, is one of the most influential nonprofit organizations in the global blockchain and emerging technology space. Founded in 2017 in Davos, Switzerland, GBBC now has over 500 institutional members and 284 ambassadors, including tech, financial, and blockchain giants such as Accenture, Microsoft, Algorand Foundation, Digital Asset, EY, Amazon, Chainlink, Ripple, J.P. Morgan, and Filecoin Foundation, participating in global blockchain policy discussions and standard setting, playing a key role in shaping the GENIUS Act and various international regulatory frameworks. FinTechOn 2025 and AFA Summit, set to take place on September 1, is a highly indicative and international financial policy discussion platform. The first fireside chat ('GENIUS Act and the Global Stablecoin Race: Cooperation or Fragmentation?') will feature Hudson Institute senior researcher and former Taiwan legislator Hsu Yu-jen as the moderator, engaging in an exciting dialogue with Sandra Ro to analyze how the U.S. GENIUS Act reshapes digital asset policy and reveals its profound impact on the global market; simultaneously exploring whether the divergences in stablecoin regulation between the U.S., Europe, and Asia will spur innovation or exacerbate market fragmentation. Sandra Ro will also extend the discussion to cross-border payments and supply chain finance, sharing potential risks and possibilities of international cooperation, and offering forward-looking suggestions for banks and enterprises issuing stablecoins. From infrastructure, on-chain payments to the future integration of AI and blockchain, this dialogue will provide rare insights, revealing opportunities and challenges in global digital finance from a regulatory and policy perspective. Taiwan is currently at an important crossroads in the development of stablecoins. The draft of the Virtual Asset Service Act includes regulatory provisions for stablecoins for the first time, planning to implement a licensing system for issuing stablecoins domestically. Legislator Ko Chih-chen recently stated at the Asia Web3 Annual Conference WebX that the bill is still in the public consultation stage between the executive and legislative branches, with the possibility of completing the third reading by the end of 2026 to early 2027. Although there is currently no official issuance of a New Taiwan Dollar stablecoin, the central bank has clearly stated that if stablecoins can ensure safety and stability under the regulatory framework in the future, the possibility of issuing Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC) cannot be ruled out. At this moment, Taiwan's stablecoin regulatory layout is positioned at the key hub of financial innovation and digital asset development. Meanwhile, as an important part of the global supply chain, Taiwan's strategic position in import and export trade, supply chain cash flow, and cross-border payments is becoming increasingly prominent. Through the international policy exchange platform of FinTechOn and AFA Summit, policymakers, academic authorities, and industry leaders from the United States, Europe, Japan, Singapore, Hong Kong, and Abu Dhabi will gather to support Taiwan in not only advancing steadily in the global digital asset competition but also seizing the opportunity to become a leading core force shaping trends.
