Thailand's Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) is advancing the country's derivatives market by amending the Derivatives Act to include digital assets and carbon credits as permissible underlying products. This regulatory shift follows a February 2026 Cabinet Meeting approval of the Finance Ministry's proposal to align Thailand's derivatives market with global standards.

The MOVE strengthens cryptocurrencies' status as an investment asset class within Thailand's official capital markets framework. SEC Secretary-General Pornanong Budsaratragoon emphasized the amendment's role in expanding investment opportunities, improving risk management, and enhancing investor protection through proper supervision.

This development signals growing institutional recognition of digital assets in Southeast Asia's second-largest economy. The regulatory framework aims to facilitate diversification while maintaining safeguards for market participants.
