The blockchain-powered fintech platform XREX has achieved a significant milestone by obtaining the ISO/IEC 27001 certification, a globally recognized standard for information security management systems (ISMS). This certification underscores XREX’s unwavering commitment to safeguarding user data, ensuring compliance, and building a trustworthy environment in the rapidly evolving digital asset ecosystem.
Awarded by the British Standards Institution (BSI), the ISO/IEC 27001 certification validates that XREX's security infrastructure meets rigorous international benchmarks. The platform passed all 114 evaluation criteria with zero non-conformities—a testament to its robust risk assessment, proactive threat mitigation, and systematic security governance.

What Is ISO/IEC 27001 and Why It Matters
ISO/IEC 27001 is an internationally recognized framework developed jointly by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) and the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC). It outlines best practices for establishing, implementing, maintaining, and continually improving an Information Security Management System (ISMS).
For cryptocurrency platforms, achieving this certification is more than a technical formality—it's a strategic commitment to:
- Identify and manage information security risks
- Protect sensitive customer data
- Ensure business continuity during cyber threats
- Demonstrate regulatory compliance and operational transparency
While no jurisdiction currently mandates ISO/IEC 27001 for virtual asset service providers (VASPs), XREX’s proactive pursuit of certification places it among elite platforms like Binance and Crypto.com, reinforcing its reputation as a secure and compliant exchange.
Leadership Insight: Building Trust Through Security
Wayne Huang, Co-founder and CEO of XREX, emphasized the broader importance of cybersecurity in today’s digital economy:
“Effective prevention and mitigation of cyber risks are critical—not just for crypto businesses, but for all modern enterprises. As blockchain technology advances, only platforms that uphold the highest security standards will earn the trust of regulators, financial institutions, and everyday users. I’m proud that XREX stands among them.”
Sun Huang, Chief Security Officer and General Manager at XREX, led the certification initiative. With decades of collective experience in cybersecurity, the team implemented precise defense mechanisms and continuous monitoring protocols aligned with ISO/IEC 27001:2013 requirements.
“Security isn’t a one-time project—it’s an ongoing mission,” said Sun Huang. “By adopting this international standard, we’re not only protecting our users but also contributing to a safer global blockchain ecosystem.”

Regulatory Compliance Beyond Certification
XREX’s dedication to compliance extends well beyond information security. The platform has secured key regulatory approvals across multiple jurisdictions:
- Lithuania: Officially licensed as a Crypto Asset Service Provider in May 2025
- United States: Registered with the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) as a Money Services Business (MSB)
- Canada: Holds MSB license for cross-border fund transfers
- Singapore: Currently applying for a Major Payment Institution license from the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS), which would enable expanded crypto payment services
Additionally, XREX has complied with Taiwan’s Financial Supervisory Commission (FSC) anti-money laundering (AML) regulations. The company submitted its AML compliance declaration in March 2022 and completed formal registration by March 31, 2025—demonstrating alignment with regional regulatory expectations.
Upcoming Platform Enhancements for Taiwanese Users
In line with its dynamic compliance strategy, XREX will implement three key product and policy updates on July 31, 2025, tailored specifically for the Taiwanese market.
1. Enhanced Withdrawal & Internal Transfer Controls
To strengthen AML and counter-terrorism financing (CFT) measures, new users who complete identity verification on or after July 31, 2025, must apply separately to activate:
- Cryptocurrency withdrawal功能
- Internal platform transfers (BitCheck)
All other trading features will remain accessible upon KYC completion or investment profile assessment.
Existing users (verified before July 31) will retain their current access privileges unless changes are required by future regulatory directives.
2. Zero-Fee TWD Trading Promotion
Starting July 11, 2025, XREX will launch a limited-time promotion offering zero transaction fees on all New Taiwan Dollar (TWD) spot trades and currency conversions. This initiative runs through January 1, 2026, allowing users to trade Bitcoin, Ethereum, and dozens of other cryptocurrencies with minimal entry barriers—starting at less than NT$500 per trade.
This move aligns with growing global trends where major tech firms like Amazon, Walmart, Apple, and Google explore stablecoin integration, while institutional adoption accelerates through vehicles like spot Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs.
3. Adjusted Deposit Limits with Far Eastern Bank
Effective June 28, 2025, new users linking Far Eastern International Commercial Bank as their TWD custodial account must meet updated criteria to upgrade to general membership status:
- Identity verification completed more than 31 days ago
- Monthly cumulative deposits of NT$500,000 or more
Once both conditions are met, the upgrade takes effect automatically on the first day of the following month at 2:00 PM (subject to bank processing times).
Users not meeting these thresholds face:
- Single transaction limit: NT$100,000
- Daily deposit cap: NT$100,000
Transactions exceeding these limits will be rejected, and any associated banking fees remain the user’s responsibility.
