Thailand Launches Tokenized Government Bonds (’G-Token’) to Democratize Investment Access
Thailand’s Ministry of Finance is set to issue $150 million in digitized government bonds, branded as ’G-Token,’ targeting retail investors with a low entry threshold. Finance Minister Pichai Chunhavajira framed the initiative as a wealth-building tool for citizens, offering yields exceeding traditional savings accounts (currently ~1.5% at Thai banks).
The bonds will align with national budget priorities while leveraging blockchain technology for accessibility. Notably, the offering remains restricted to Thai nationals, with distribution planned through licensed platforms—though the announcement omitted specific exchange partners.
