Will Taiwan Mobile enter the cryptocurrency industry?
The Financial Supervisory Commission announced on July 5 "Virtual currency platform operators that have completed a compliance statement with money laundering prevention laws." The 26th company on the list, "Fusheng Digital Co., Ltd.," is headed by the general manager of Taiwan Telecom Taiwan Mobile. Lin Zhichen serves as the person in charge. Lin Zhichen is also the chairman and partner of the AppWorks Accelerator.

Not only that, the directors and supervisors of Fusheng Digital Co., Ltd. are also important figures in Taiwan Mobile. Director Han Kunju is the deputy general manager of Taiwan Mobile’s new technology business development and once participated in the creation of Pi wallet at PChome. The supervisor, Cai Qiyan, is the group’s chief information officer.
According to the trademark information of Fusheng Digital Co., Ltd., there are already OP crypto asset passbook, OPcrypto and OPcryptoex. Although the names are directly related to the "encryption industry", it is not sure whether they are directly related to the exchange.
Lin Zhichen, general manager of Taiwan Mobile, has an open attitude towards the Web3 industry. Not only has he supported many related innovations through the AppWorks initial accelerator, but he also said in an interview with "WEB3+": "Fiat currencies will have a certain potential in the next 20 to 30 years." It will be replaced to a considerable extent." He explained that the new generation of currency no longer requires the government to be responsible, which is one of the changes brought to human society by the Web3 wave.
Originally, Taiwan Mobile recruited PChome general Han Kunju and appointed him as the general manager of Fusheng Digital. This was considered by the outside world to further expand the "mo currency" ecosystem. However, judging from the latest list approved by the Financial Supervisory Commission, it seems that it is not so simple.
Taiwan Mobile's move is bound to cause some waves in Taiwan's encryption industry. However, how to deal with the government, how to let the telecommunications industry with a large industry have the flexibility of the Web3 industry, and even the "speed" of all actions, I believe it will be criticized by the outside world. View enlarged.
