- Taiwan Proposes Paid-In Capital Floor for Licensed Stablecoin Issuers — this brief
Taiwan’s Financial Supervisory Commission said on November 3, 2026 that it had prepared a licensing framework for stablecoin issuers. Under the draft, a nonbank company seeking authorization to issue stablecoins would need NT$300 million in paid-in capital, according to Live 
Bitcoin News.
The proposal also calls for each stablecoin to maintain a one-to-one peg and full reserves valued at fair value. Issuers would additionally take on anti-money-laundering responsibilities. These provisions collectively address the financial backing, redemption and compliance mechanisms that would apply to licensed participants.
Live Bitcoin News is the outlet whose supplied summary directly describes the regulatory package, while the figure cross-check identifies the $300 million amount as cited by both Live Bitcoin News and Crypto Daily. Crypto Daily’s supplied coverage takes a different market-focused angle, reporting that spot 
Ethereum ETFs lost nearly $300 million over two sessions. Its excerpt does not describe Taiwan’s rules, leaving the proposed capital requirement as a detail explicitly stated in the Live Bitcoin News summary.
The draft is still subject to public scrutiny. A 40-day consultation period is scheduled to begin once the necessary notice is issued, giving market participants and other interested parties an opportunity to respond before the framework advances. The FSC’s broader objective reflected in the draft is to place licensed nonbank stablecoin issuance within a defined capital, reserve and AML structure.

The chart plots ETH's price: grey is the move before this brief published, the vertical dashed line marks the moment it published, the horizontal dashed line is the price then, and the coloured area is the move since — from TLT's market data (daily resolution). It shows what happened after the news, not that the news caused it; many factors move prices. Not financial advice.
At today's peer-to-peer rate, 1 ETH ≈ ₦3.36M (about $2,430.33), up 7.5% over 24 hours. The naira itself trades about 2.7% above the official rate on the P2P market, so a Nigerian buyer's effective cost differs from the headline dollar price.
