PANews, February 28 — According to Bloomberg, Polish online broker XTB said that the political deadlock surrounding the European Union’s Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation (MiCA) is hindering its crypto business expansion. XTB plans to launch crypto trading in Poland but has postponed it due to the country’s failure to align its regulations with MiCA. Polish President Karol Nawrocki has vetoed the relevant legislation twice, and financial regulators warn that if domestic institutions do not obtain licenses from other EU countries by July 1, they may lose the qualification to offer crypto asset services. XTB is considering applying for a crypto license in Cyprus as an alternative, but says this move would weaken its ability to attract customers and market in Poland.

The Legislative Yuan is reviewing a draft Virtual Asset Service Law that requires offshore virtual currency service providers (VASPs) to establish operations in Taiwan and strengthen regulatory oversight to close regulatory gaps and protect investors. Currently, only 8 legal VASPs operate in Taiwan, while approximately 30 unregistered offshore operators remain active, notably global giants like Binance that do not operate legally in Taiwan. The draft mandates offshore VASPs to establish branch offices or subsidiary institutions to comply with regulations, and proposes specific measures for operator oversight, fraud and theft prevention, and risk disclosure. The plan includes formulating virtual asset custody guidelines within six months.
