Taiwan Blockchain Summit 2025: Global Talent, Compliance & Stablecoin Innovation — Powered by Slasify.
Taiwan Blockchain Summit 2025 marked a milestone moment in Asia’s Web3 evolution — celebrating its 10th anniversary as a global convergence point for innovators, investors, and policymakers shaping the blockchain ecosystem. What set this year's Summit apart was its dual focus: advancing distributed ledger technology while simultaneously addressing the operational realities of building sustainable, compliant blockchain businesses.
For blockchain founders, HR leaders, and compliance teams navigating cross-border payments and global hiring, the Summit delivered a clear message: the future belongs to organizations that can harmonize cutting-edge distributed ledger technology with robust talent and compliance frameworks.
As the exclusive HR partner and panel sponsor, Slasify brought a crucial message to the stage: the future of blockchain isn’t just decentralized — it’s compliant, connected, and powered by global talent.
Over the past decade, Taiwan has quietly become Asia’s blockchain lighthouse, hosting influential gatherings like Taiwan Blockchain Summit and Taipei Blockchain Week. Its open regulatory environment, vibrant developer community, and growing fintech sector have positioned it as a crossroads of innovation, regulation, and adoption.
The Summit demonstrated that Taiwan has positioned itself at the center of this evolution, providing the regulatory clarity, technical infrastructure, and talent pool that global Web3 projects need to scale sustainably. As cryptocurrency trends continue accelerating toward mainstream adoption, the operational capabilities to hire globally, compensate compliantly, and integrate innovations like stablecoin payroll will separate industry leaders from also-rans.
Hosted by the Taiwan Association for Blockchain Ecosystem Innovation, the 2025 Summit gathered thought leaders from Circle, Zodia Custody, ZONE Wallet, and leading global institutions. Over three days, discussions spanned cryptocurrency trends, cross-border payments, and the evolution of blockchain infrastructure — signaling Taiwan’s rise as a hub for digital asset innovation and global talent mobility.
For blockchain founders, HR leaders, and compliance teams, the path forward is clear: partner with infrastructure providers who understand both the borderless vision of Web3 and the jurisdictional realities of employment law. Build teams that span continents while respecting local regulations. Embrace operational innovations like payroll crypto within frameworks that satisfy auditors and regulators.
For Slasify, participation went beyond sponsorship — it was about reinforcing how HR, payroll compliance, and global hiring infrastructure are foundational to blockchain’s next phase of growth.
As moderator of the panel “Bridging the Gap: From Talent Shortage to the Next Generation of the Blockchain & Finance Industry”, Slasify led a forward-looking dialogue on how the blockchain workforce must evolve.
The consensus: borderless teams will drive Web3 innovation, but only compliance-first strategies can sustain it. Companies must adapt their hiring, onboarding, and payroll processes to navigate different labor laws, tax frameworks, and crypto payment models across markets.
Slasify’s message was clear — global hiring shouldn’t mean global risk. With its Employer of Record (EOR) service and payroll compliance expertise, the company helps blockchain startups and enterprises scale internationally while staying fully aligned with local regulations.
Stablecoins are becoming vital tools for blockchain firms managing remote teams and multi-currency payrolls.
One of the hottest topics at the Summit was stablecoin adoption — and its potential to reshape cross-border payments and payroll crypto operations. Traditional international wire transfers typically take 3–5 business days and cost 3–5% in fees. On the other hand, stablecoin payments can settle within seconds with near-zero transaction fees.
As stablecoins bridge crypto innovation with financial compliance, they’re becoming vital tools for blockchain firms managing remote teams and multi-currency payrolls. Their volatility-proof and transparent nature makes them ideal for global operations — but adoption comes with regulatory challenges.
That’s where Slasify’s compliance advisory steps in. By helping companies implement stablecoin-ready payroll frameworks, Slasify ensures businesses stay on the right side of labor laws and financial regulations while embracing the efficiency of blockchain-based payments.
In an industry built on decentralization and digital trust, Slasify connects the dots between people, compliance, and technology.

FAQs: Taiwan Blockchain Summit & Stablecoins
The 10th anniversary of the Taiwan Blockchain Summit marks a decade of growth and maturity for Asia’s blockchain ecosystem. It reflects how Taiwan has evolved from an emerging fintech hub into a strategic nexus for innovation, regulation, and global collaboration. The 2025 edition celebrated this milestone by focusing on real-world adoption — connecting technology with people, compliance, and financial inclusion through stablecoins and cross-border applications.
Slasify served as both a panel sponsor and the exclusive HR partner of the Summit. In these roles, Slasify spotlighted the importance of compliance-first hiring and payroll in the blockchain space, leading discussions on how global Web3 teams can scale responsibly. As an HR infrastructure provider for decentralized and fintech organizations, Slasify helped bridge the gap between talent, compliance, and blockchain innovation.
The panel “Bridging the Gap: From Talent Shortage to the Next Generation of the Blockchain & Finance Industry” featured experts from blockchain enterprises, fintech startups, and compliance consultancies. Moderated by Slasify, the panel discussed how global talent mobility, remote work infrastructure, and regulatory alignment are reshaping the industry.
Key takeaway: Blockchain’s success depends on borderless collaboration — but it must be grounded in compliance, payroll transparency, and equitable labor practices.
The blockchain sector thrives on distributed teams and open-source collaboration, making talent inherently global. Developers, product strategists, and compliance experts often work remotely across jurisdictions. This global dynamic enables innovation but also requires specialized HR and payroll solutions to ensure fair, compliant employment structures worldwide. As stablecoins become mainstream, they’re redefining how global companies manage cross-border payments with transparency and speed.
Employers can use an Employer of Record (EOR) service, such as Slasify, to legally hire international talent without creating local subsidiaries. The EOR becomes the official employer on record, managing employment contracts, payroll, tax withholdings, and benefits — all while the client company retains full control of day-to-day work. This model enables fast, compliant market entry and seamless global team scaling.
Yes — in certain jurisdictions, stablecoin payroll is possible when aligned with local labor and tax laws. Many blockchain firms use stablecoins for cross-border payments due to their price stability and transaction efficiency. However, employers must ensure proper recordkeeping, conversion tracking, and employee consent, as stablecoin payments may still need to be reported in fiat value for compliance purposes.
When paying in stablecoins, companies must comply with local wage regulations, tax reporting, and anti-money-laundering (AML) standards. In most markets, salaries must still be denominated in fiat currency, even if paid in a crypto equivalent. Employers must also maintain transparent documentation for exchange rates, payment dates, and statutory contributions, ensuring full payroll compliance.
The main risks for blockchain employers include:
Taiwan offers a balanced regulatory environment, strong fintech infrastructure, and a skilled digital workforce, making it ideal for blockchain companies scaling responsibly. The government actively promotes digital asset innovation while encouraging compliance with labor, data protection, and financial laws — positioning Taiwan as a trusted hub for Web3 talent and operations.
