Google Chrome go stop trust Chunghwa Telecom and Netlock TLS Certificates from August 2025, dey tell people to move their websites and make security strong.
Google Chrome don talk say dem go stop to trust new TLS certificates wey Taiwan own Chunghwa Telecom and Hungary own Netlock dey issue, starting from August 1, 2025. This one go affect Chrome browsers for Windows, macOS, ChromeOS, Android, and Linux (version 139+). Dem say na because both certificate authorities don fail many times for their operations and how dem dey manage things, dem no meet Chrome Root Program requirements for how reliable and clear dem suppose be—even though no technical or security standards for crypto get any problem. Websites wey use these certificates after July 31, 2025, go show full-page security warnings, and Chrome go block access by default. This change no go affect iOS users or other browsers from Microsoft and Apple. For response, Taiwan Ministry of Digital Affairs don adopt double-certificate strategy for government websites, dem go move to other trusted local CAs from March 2025 to make sure say service continue. Dem dey urge website operators to move to trusted CAs like DigiCert, Let’s Encrypt, or TWCA before their current certificates expire. This move just show say Google dey very strict with CA policy standards, and e fit affect sectors wey rely on certificate trust, like government, finance, and di wider tech or blockchain ecosystem. Crypto traders suppose notice say web security standards dey tighten and website accessibility fit get wahala, especially for services wey dey hosted in Taiwan.

Wetin Google Chrome do wey dem no trust Chunghwa Telecom and Netlock TLS certificates again go affect website wey person wan enter and security compliance, e no directly affect any crypto or blockchain asset. Even though dis move go show say web security go dey strict pass before—wey fit affect how blockchain projects, exchanges, or DeFi platforms go dey run and how person go fit enter dem if dem dey depend on dis certificates, especially for Taiwan—e no straightly drive people to buy or sell crypto assets. For short term, things fit dey unstable if major blockchain or exchange platforms get technical problems; but because dem don dey advise say make dem quickly change go trusted CAs and dem don dey do am, e no clear say market prices go get long-lasting impact. For long term, dis just show say web security infrastructure dey important for crypto sector, but e no clearly show say token go go up or down.
