Thailand's Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has announced a public consultation to revise the listing rules for digital assets on licensed exchanges. The consultation will run until July 21, 2025.
Public Consultation on Rule Changes
The Thailand SEC has launched a public consultation process to gather feedback from market participants on future regulation of digital assets. This initiative aims to ensure that updated rules reflect the current industry dynamics.
Expansion of Digital Asset Listing Criteria
Under the proposed framework, exchanges may be allowed to list ‘ready-to-use’ digital tokens issued by themselves or related parties. This change aims to support the adoption of blockchain technologies and provide more practical tokens.
Comprehensive Regulatory Approach to Cryptocurrency in Thailand
The Thailand SEC has also proposed measures to prevent market manipulation and manage conflicts of interest in the digital asset sector. The new disclosure requirements will apply to tokens listed prior to the updates.
These regulatory changes highlight Thailand's ambition to establish itself as a hub for the cryptocurrency industry while supporting the development of digital assets and ensuring investor protection.
