Thailand’s SEC Advances Crypto ETFs and Institutional Trading Framework
Thailand's Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has unveiled a comprehensive regulatory push to expand digital asset markets, focusing on crypto ETFs, futures, and tokenized products. The MOVE positions Bangkok as a competitive regional hub for institutional crypto activity.
The new framework provides clear guidelines for asset managers developing crypto ETFs, with exchanges coordinating listing standards. Investors gain exposure without direct custody requirements—a strategic balance between accessibility and risk mitigation.
Market makers receive tailored liquidity provisions under the plan, while tokenization rules align with existing securities frameworks. Regulatory tightening on promotional activities accompanies these institutional-focused expansions.
