CoolBitX, the Taiwan-based blockchain security company and creator of the first Bluetooth mobile hardware wallet for digital assets, the CoolWallet S, is engaging in a strategic technology partnership with the Asia Blockchain and Crypto Association (ABACA), the appointed Self-Regulatory Organization (SRO) of the Cagayan Economic Zone Authority (CEZA).
The goal is to create a more secure environment for tokenized securities in the region. A Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) was recognized by the Taiwan Crypto Blockchain Self-Regulatory Organization (TCBSRO) on January 30th.

ABACA’s membership consists of all of the CEZA licensed FinTech Companies and Offshore Virtual Currency Exchanges including Formosa Financial from Taiwan, as well as all of the CEZA authorized 3rd Party Service Providers.
CoolBitX will work closely with ABACA and its members to tailor fit its products and services according to CEZA’s Rules and Regulations, especially around the recently published Digital Asset and Token Offering (DATO) Rules, which cover Security Token Offerings (STOs) among other digital assets. Under this new framework, CEZA remains the principal regulating authority with ABACA acting as the enforcer.

I fully support the CoolBitX-ABACA partnership and hope more Taiwanese blockchain startups will follow suit and invest in the Southeast Asia market.”[/perfectpullquote]
