Taiwan’s Financial Supervisory Commission said on November 3, 2026 that it had drafted rules for licensed stablecoin issuance, according to Live 
Bitcoin News. The proposal would require nonbank issuers to maintain NT$300 million in paid-in capital, establishing a tangible minimum for companies seeking authorization under the framework.
Beyond capital, the draft calls for stablecoins to maintain a one-to-one peg and reserves valued at fair value. It also assigns anti-money-laundering responsibilities to issuers. Live Bitcoin News says the package includes a 40-day public comment period, providing a formal opportunity for industry participants and the public to respond before the rules advance.
A machine figure cross-check associates the $300 million amount with both Live Bitcoin News and Crypto Daily, corroborating the reported capital figure across the two feeds. However, only Live Bitcoin News supplies the underlying Taiwan regulatory details in the material provided; Crypto Daily’s reported coverage focuses on 
Ethereum’s market performance and does not restate the proposal. The regulatory account therefore comes from Live Bitcoin News, with the figure independently cross-checked across both outlets.
The stablecoin proposal is distinct from the near-term crypto price backdrop. Total crypto market capitalization stands at $2.7 trillion, and the broader market is broadly higher. Bitcoin is up 1.86% over 24 hours, while the Fear & Greed index reads 34, placing sentiment in the “Fear” range despite the positive market direction.
Ethereum trades at $2,325.58, up 2.43% over 24 hours but down 1.90% over seven days, with a market capitalization of $284.21 billion. Crypto Daily separately reports that ETH fell below its 200-day moving average and that spot ETH ETFs lost nearly $300 million across two sessions, with $1,940 identified as a support level traders are watching. The key regulatory items to monitor are the final capital and reserve terms after the 40-day consultation, along with the operational treatment of one-to-one pegs and anti-money-laundering duties.
Since this brief published about 26 hours ago, Ethereum (ETH) has moved from ₹2,20,544.64$2,325.58 to ₹2,20,755.17$2,327.80 — +0.10%.
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 Token Times'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 ≈ ₹246,781.72 (about $2,327.80), up 2.8% over 24 hours. The rupee itself trades about 11.8% above the official rate on the P2P market, so a Indian buyer's effective cost differs from the headline dollar price.
