Bitcoin News Today: "Cross-Strait Legal Minds Tackle Digital Currency's Legal Maze"

The Fujian Procuratorate, in collaboration with legal professionals from the Taiwan region, hosted the 2025 Cross-Strait Procuratorial System Seminar in Putian on September 5, 2025. The event focused on the challenges and responses to digital currency crimes in the modern legal landscape. With the increasing prevalence of cybercrime and the rise of virtual assets, the seminar aimed to foster dialogue among legal practitioners on how to address these issues through integrated legal frameworks [2].

Key discussion points included the legal treatment of new property crimes, particularly those involving virtual currencies, and the collection and handling of digital evidence. Participants explored the intersection of virtual assets and traditional legal systems, emphasizing the need for updated protocols to manage digital evidence effectively. These discussions are expected to shape future regulatory approaches to cryptocurrencies in the region [2].

Zhao Jinjun, Director of the Fujian Procuratorate, highlighted the importance of the seminar in strengthening cross-Strait legal cooperation. He noted that the platform offers a unique opportunity for legal professionals to address pressing issues in digital law enforcement. The seminar also underscored the Fujian Procuratorate’s commitment to adapting to the digital age by refining evidence standards and enforcing property-related measures involving digital assets [2].

The event followed a history of similar discussions in Fujian, with past forums contributing to the development of legal protocols for digital evidence. In 2018, Fujian hosted a symposium that initiated ongoing legal and procedural dialogues on cryptocurrency regulation, demonstrating the region’s proactive stance on integrating digital innovations into law enforcement [2].

Participants also examined the broader implications of regulatory advancements for the cryptocurrency market. While increased scrutiny may raise compliance costs for market participants, the development of precise legal frameworks could enhance market stability. The seminar emphasized the need for regulatory clarity to support both enforcement efforts and technological progress [2].

In parallel with the seminar, the global cryptocurrency market continued to show mixed performance. Bitcoin (BTC) traded at $110,790.03 as of September 6, 2025, with a market cap exceeding $2.21 trillion and a dominance rate of 57.93%. However, the 24-hour trading volume had declined by 11.96%, and BTC recorded a 1.60% drop over the previous 24 hours. Despite this, the cryptocurrency maintained a positive trajectory over the past 90 days with a 4.88% increase [2].

The seminar marked an important step in the ongoing efforts to align legal practices with the rapidly evolving digital economy. By bringing together legal experts from both sides of the Taiwan Strait, the event underscored the importance of cross-regional cooperation in addressing the challenges of digital currency crimes [2].
