Why Taiwan's Financial Future Needs You

Taiwan's FSC announced new cryptocurrency regulations in early 2025. Major banks are testing central bank digital currencies. Fintech startups are growing 40% year-over-year. But there's a problem – not enough people understand how blockchain actually works in practice.

We've worked with professionals from Cathay Financial, Fubon, and emerging fintech companies. They all say the same thing: technical knowledge is great, but understanding how blockchain fits into existing financial infrastructure? That's where the real value is.

Current Market Reality

Companies are hiring blockchain specialists, but they want people who can bridge technology and finance – not just code smart contracts, but understand compliance, risk management, and customer needs in Taiwan's unique market.

What You'll Actually Learn

We focus on applications that matter in Taiwan's financial sector

How blockchain enhances mobile payments, cross-border transfers, and reduces settlement times. You'll analyze real cases from Taiwan Pay and international systems like Lightning Network.

Regulatory Compliance

Navigate Taiwan's evolving crypto regulations, AML requirements, and financial reporting standards. Learn how major banks are adapting their compliance frameworks.

Risk Assessment

3

Real-World Applications

Analyze actual implementations from Taiwan's financial sector. Understand what worked, what didn't, and why. Case studies from both successes and failures.

Practical Projects

Work on scenarios you might face in your career. Design a blockchain integration plan for a traditional bank, or assess a fintech startup's technical architecture.

An Honest Perspective

I've seen too many blockchain courses that either oversimplify the technology or ignore the business context entirely. This program exists because we need professionals who can think critically about where blockchain makes sense and where it doesn't.

Taiwan's financial sector is conservative for good reasons – we handle people's life savings. But we also can't ignore technological change. The professionals we train understand both perspectives and can navigate that balance effectively.

Our next cohort starts in August 2025. We deliberately keep groups small because real learning happens through discussion, questions, and working through complex scenarios together.
