On June 20, 2025, Thailand's Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) announced the start of a public consultation on proposed new rules for digital asset listings. These proposals aim to enhance market transparency and align with global trends in cryptocurrency regulation.
Public Consultation on New Rules
As part of this initiative announced on June 20, the SEC invites all interested parties to participate in the discussion of draft regulations for digital assets. The consultation period remains open until July 21, 2025.
Changes in Transparency Regulations
The central change involves increasing transparency and instituting measures against insider trading. Exchanges must now provide comprehensive information about individuals closely associated with token issuers, enhancing market oversight and integrity.
Market and Economic Impact
The market has yet to provide significant responses to the SEC's initiative. However, the lack of immediate commentary does not diminish the importance of the discussion surrounding potential implications and Thailand's ambition to position itself as a leading financial and cryptocurrency hub in Asia.
The launched public consultation by the SEC may have a significant impact on the digital asset market in Thailand. The initiative reflects the country's commitment to creating a safe and transparent environment for cryptocurrency investments.
