As the global virtual asset market enters a critical period of transformation, how can Taiwan accurately position itself in the global digital finance wave? The annual event co-organized by the Bitcoin and Virtual Asset Development Association—the "2026-2027 Virtual Asset Future Trends Forum and Taiwan Blockchain Industry Ecosystem Map Launch"—will be held on May 7, 2026, at the International Conference Hall of the National Chengchi University Public Enterprise Center. This event will bring together over a hundred industry leaders, regulatory representatives, and investment institutions to witness a new development indicator for Taiwan's blockchain industry.
The highlight of this forum was the presentation of the "2026-2027 Taiwan Blockchain Industry Ecosystem Map" by Hsu Pei-ling, Chairperson of the Bitcoin and Virtual Asset Development Association. This map builds upon AppWorks' previous survey records and findings, providing a comprehensive overview of the industry and listing over 100 leading companies across Taiwan, covering exchanges, payments, custody, cybersecurity, and application development. This not only presents a complete picture of Taiwan's Web3 industry strength but also serves as an important guide for domestic and international investors and partners to understand the Taiwan market.
Four core forums: In-depth dialogues ranging from regulatory compliance to Bitcoin ETFs
The forum invited several distinguished guests, including Legislator Ge Rujun (Dr. Bao) and Hsu Shu-po, Chairman of CTBC Financial Holding Taiwan Life Insurance, as well as leaders from industry, government, and academia, to conduct several insightful discussions on the future development of virtual assets.
1. The New Future of Digital Payments: Leading local players such as MaiCoin Pay, BitoPay, HOYA BIT, and ZONE Wallet discuss the practical outlook for stablecoins and payment scenarios in Taiwan.
2. Global Trends Perspective: We have invited representatives from international exchanges such as BingX and Binance to analyze the next wave of growth in the global market.
3. Integration of Virtual and Real Finance: Regarding the popular "Bitcoin ETF," representatives from companies including KPMG COO Lin Ta-chung, Taishin Financial Holdings Director Lin Chia-chen, BitGo Senior Director, and Taiwan Mobile Web3 Business Vice President Han Kun-chu discussed strategies for integrating traditional finance with Web3.
4. Bitcoin Ecosystem: A senior blockchain expert explores the latest developments and applications of Bitcoin globally.
Hsu Pei-ling, Chairperson of the Bitcoin and Virtual Asset Development Association, the organizer of the event, stated: "2026 is a pivotal year for Taiwan's virtual asset industry to move towards professionalization and legalization. Through the publication of the ecosystem map and the exchange of ideas in cross-industry forums, we hope to establish a transparent and dynamic platform to help the government and the private sector reach a consensus, allowing Taiwan to become an important hub for global blockchain innovation while adhering to compliance."
This forum is also supported by AppWorks, the Taiwan Virtual Currency Business Association, the Artificial Intelligence Technology Foundation, the Taiwan Blockchain Enthusiasts Association, the Taiwan Virtual Asset Anti-Money Laundering Association, the Taiwan Digital Assets and Open Technology Association, the Taiwan Blockchain University Alliance, and FUTUREMODE Taipei Future Festival, among other organizations.
