Thailand Explores Crypto-Linked Credit Cards and Unified Digital Asset Legislation
Thailand is advancing plans to integrate cryptocurrency payments into its tourism economy, with proposals to allow crypto-linked credit card transactions. The Ministry of Finance aims to enable seamless spending for tourists, where merchants receive local currency while buyers may use digital assets transparently.
Concurrently, regulators are considering merging the country’s separate digital asset and conventional securities frameworks. This move could streamline Thailand’s burgeoning crypto ecosystem, building on its established reputation as a regional hub for blockchain innovation.
