During the questioning, Legislator Ko Ju-chun emphasized that virtual currency and financial technology have become important trends in the global financial market and urged the government to accelerate the promotion of relevant policies. He raised the question of whether Bitcoin or other digital assets should be considered for inclusion in foreign exchange reserves.
