Thailand Eases Crypto Regulations Amid Global Push for Digital Assets

Thailand’s Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) is modernizing its approach to digital assets, introducing reforms that balance investor protection with market growth. The regulator has restricted G-Token trading to licensed exchanges, a MOVE aimed at curbing speculation while maintaining market integrity.

Tourists will soon spend cryptocurrencies seamlessly, with payments instantly converted to Thai baht via credit card systems. This initiative positions Thailand as a forward-thinking destination for crypto-enabled travel.

The government’s $150 million retail digital token program marks a significant leap in democratizing finance. By fractionalizing government bond access, Thailand opens new participation avenues for retail investors under evolving crypto rules.
