Thailand’s SEC Proposes Streamlined Investor Protection for ICOs
Thailand's Securities and Exchange Commission is revising its approach to digital asset investments, focusing on balancing investor protection with market efficiency. The proposed amendments WOULD exempt qualified investors from repetitive knowledge tests while introducing biennial suitability assessments for all token buyers.
ICO portals will shoulder greater responsibility under the new framework. They must now implement rigorous suitability tests to verify investors' risk comprehension and tolerance levels. The shift from quarterly to biennial reviews reflects a maturation of Thailand's regulatory philosophy—prioritizing substantive oversight over procedural hurdles.
