FinTech On 2025 Launching 9/1: GBBC CEO Connects to Share the "GENIUS Act" and Stablecoin Regulatory Trends

On September 1st, FinTechOn 2025 and the AFA Summit will grandly unfold in Taipei, welcoming heavyweight guests from the United States — Sandra Ro, CEO of the Global Blockchain Business Council (GBBC). As one of the masterminds behind the GENIUS Act, she will provide firsthand insights, analyzing how the latest digital asset policies in the United States affect the global financial landscape, and offering forward-looking perspectives on stablecoins, cross-border payments, and blockchain infrastructure.

Sandra Ro: From Wall Street to the Core of Blockchain Policy

Sandra Ro is not only the leader of GBBC but also active in multiple policy-making platforms. She previously served as the Senate representative for New York's Digital Currency Work Group and has been a member of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) Global Markets Advisory Committee (GMAC) and the Digital Asset Markets Subcommittee (DAMS) since 2023, co-chairing the "Classification and Tokenization Infrastructure" project and playing a key role in discussions around international regulatory frameworks.

GBBC: A Blockchain Think Tank Connecting Global Giants

GBBC, established in 2017 in Davos, Switzerland, is one of the world's most influential nonprofit organizations focused on Blockchain and emerging technologies. The organization currently has over 500 institutional members and 284 ambassadors, spanning the technology, finance, and blockchain industries, including Accenture, Microsoft, Amazon, JPMorgan Chase, Ripple, Chainlink, Algorand Foundation, EY, and Filecoin Foundation. The participation of these giants has made GBBC an important bridge for promoting global Blockchain policies and standards.

First Focus Dialogue: GENIUS Act and Global Stablecoin Competition

The first fireside chat of the conference will be hosted by Hudson Institute Senior Fellow and former Taiwanese legislator Hsu Yu-Jen, with the theme "GENIUS Act and Global Stablecoin Competition: Cooperation or Fragmentation?" The discussion will delve into how the U.S. GENIUS Act shapes digital asset policy and examine the differences in stablecoin regulation across the U.S., Europe, and Asia, whether it promotes innovation or causes market fragmentation.

From cross-border payments to AI + Blockchain: The future financial landscape

Sandra Ro will also share case studies on cross-border payments and supply chain finance, and analyze the opportunities and risks of international collaboration. She plans to propose recommendations on how banks and enterprises can issue stablecoins, and look forward to the potential of the integration of AI and Blockchain, providing a long-term policy and technical vision for the digital financial ecosystem.

Taiwan's stablecoin regulation: Standing at a crossroads

Recently, Taiwan has included regulations on stablecoins for the first time in the draft of the "Virtual Asset Service Act," planning to implement an issuance licensing system. Legislator Ko Jui-chun stated at the Asian Web3 conference WebX that the draft is currently undergoing public consultation between the executive and legislative branches, and it may be completed by the third reading as early as the end of 2026 to early 2027.

Although there has not yet been an official issuance of a New Taiwan Dollar stablecoin, the central bank has indicated that it does not rule out issuing a central bank digital currency (CBDC) in the future, provided that it can be done under a safe and stable regulatory framework.

Taiwan's international strategic position: not just regulation, but the core of the supply chain.

In addition to regulatory advancement, Taiwan is increasingly highlighting its strategic value in global supply chain finance, cross-border payments, and digital trade. With the FinTechOn and AFA summits attracting policymakers and industry leaders from the United States, Europe, Japan, Singapore, Hong Kong, and Abu Dhabi, Taiwan not only has the opportunity to make its voice heard in international policy discussions but may also take the lead in the digital asset competition, becoming a key force in the region and even globally.
