Thailand to Launch $150M Digital Investment Token (G-Token) for Public Investors
Thailand’s Finance Ministry is set to distribute 5 billion baht ($150 million) in government-backed digital investment tokens, branded as "G-Token," within the next two months. Finance Minister Pichai Chunhavajira confirmed cabinet approval of the initiative, positioning it as a yield-bearing alternative to traditional bank deposits.
The tokenized offering operates under the government’s budget borrowing framework but avoids debt instrument classification. Regulatory compliance with the Bank of Thailand’s requirements is expected, with potential secondary market benefits for bond trading liquidity.
