Professor Wang-Ruu Tseng, Director of the Center, and Associate Professor Chao-Hung Chen, Deputy Director, recently co-authored the chapter “Cryptocurrencies in National Laws – Taiwan” in the book Cryptocurrencies in National Laws, published by the international academic publisher Brill.
This chapter comprehensively examines the legal status of virtual assets under Taiwan’s current legal framework, addressing whether they should be regarded as “objects” or “rights” under civil law, and whether they can be traded as property or are merely technical digital codes.
The article further points out that, in the absence of legislation fully keeping pace with technological developments, judicial practice and regulatory authorities must adapt and respond amid uncertainty. The authors, combining both private and public law perspectives, analyze the proprietary nature of virtual assets and discuss the legal risks and regulatory challenges arising from market transactions. The chapter not only presents Taiwan’s distinctive experience in supervising virtual assets and determining their status under private law, but also situates the discussion within a comparative international law context, offering cross-border insights into the regulation of crypto-assets.
