The independent government agency regulating Taiwan’s financial markets will reportedly propose a special law that will allow banks to issue stablecoins. The United Daily News reports that Taiwan’s Financial Supervisory Commission (FSC) plans to submit the draft legislation on virtual asset service providers (VASPs) in June. The bill includes a provision that will give banks the authority to issue stablecoins—crypto assets designed to maintain a stable value by being pegged to a commodity or currency, or regulated by an algorithm. Bank director Zhuang Yuyuan says the stablecoins circulating in the market, including the dollar-pegged USDC and Tether ( USDT ), are not approved by the authorities. The situation is anticipated to change once the law takes effect as the FSC will have to greenlight all stablecoins issued in Taiwan, along with their issuer and reserve allocations. FSC Chairman Peng Jinlong says banks will jointly manage the stablecoins with the central bank. The FSC is also set to run a trial of crypto custody services with local banks in the first quarter of 2025. Last year, the regulator mandated all crypto-based companies to register by September or face harsh penalties. The agency now allows professional traders to invest in foreign crypto exchange-traded funds (ETFs).

CoinShares Seeks Approval For Spot Litecoin And XRP ETF In Latest Market Move
In a notable change in the crypto regulatory environment, asset managers are regaining confidence in their pursuit of ETFs. Significantly, CoinShares submitted applications for a spot XRP ETF and a Litecoin (LTC) fund, indicating an increasing enthusiasm for altcoin investment offerings. CoinShares Targets Litecoin And XRP ETF CoinShares’ submission arises as the US ETF market is progressively concentrating on cryptocurrency investments, after the approval and resulting success of funds investing in Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH) in 2024. The firm has submitted an S-1 registration statement to the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) to launch the XRP ETF, aimed at providing investors with direct exposure to the market’s second largest altcoin.

On the same day, Grayscale Investments also filed applications with the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) for both a Solana ETF and a Litecoin ETF, alingning with other firms, including Canary Capital and CoinShares, all seeking regulatory approval for similar products. Skepticism Surrounds Proposed Litecoin ETF Despite the enthusiasm surrounding the XRP ETF filing, the altcoin has shown a mixed response in the market. XRP recently emerged from a nearly three-year consolidation period below the $0.50 mark, boosted by excitement surrounding pro-crypto regulatory shifts under President Donald Trump. Currently, XRP is experiencing remarkable momentum, boasting a staggering 500% year-to-date gain, trading at approximately $3.10. However, the announcement of CoinShares’ XRP ETF did not significantly impact the token’s price, which remains down 0.4% within a 24-hour period.

Analyst Ali Martinez expressed concerns regarding the viability of a Litecoin ETF, pointing out that the coin has remained stuck in the same price range since 2017, a span of eight years. The analyst continued to probe the reasoning for initiating a Litecoin ETF when ironic options, like a “USDT ETF,” he claims, might provide more instant advantages such as staking rewards.
