Thailand’s Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) plans to block access to unapproved cryptocurrency sites for its residents. This follows the directive sent out by the Technology Crime Prevention and Suppression Committee, which clearly shows the government’s commitment to enhancing law enforcement and combating cybercrime.
The SEC<a href="https://www.sec.or.th/TH/Pages/News_Detail.aspx?SECID=10732&amp;fbclid=IwZXh0bgNhZW0BMQABHfcwra1QtmXgckCBiPpfgG5OKOrRxpWY8tSF13jeQDi2qDks1El5_GsYKQ_aem_ASNhM3cWgGaZHUMVDkCdGUnbDIL2U3wt3oc9MbFlXn_BLI5zhNoT1-6f0q6k7mGKLVc" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" data-wpel-link="external"> revealed </a>that it has been ordered to disclose information on locally unauthorized digital asset service providers to the Ministry of Digital Economy and Society. Once identified, these platforms are expected to face access restrictions after court approval.
While the SEC did not provide specific details on the criteria for disqualifying a platform as legitimate, it has provided a website to assist investors in verifying the legitimacy of business operators.
Thailand’s latest approach aligns with similar efforts by countries like<a href="https://www.cryptotimes.io/2023/12/15/india-to-enable-regulated-real-world-asset-tokenization/" data-wpel-link="internal" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow"> India</a> and the <a href="https://www.cryptotimes.io/2024/03/26/philippines-sec-plans-to-ban-binance-over-regulatory-concern/" data-wpel-link="internal" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Philippines </a>to strengthen their regulatory frameworks and create a secure environment for digital assets, following global standards.
Despite permitting broad investor access to crypto assets, Thailand’s strict custody rules highlight its focus on protecting investors and ensuring financial stability.
Binance Holdings Ltd and Gulf Energy Development Pcl are set to <a href="https://www.cryptotimes.io/2024/02/18/gulf-binance-targets-top-spot-in-thailand-crypto-market/" data-wpel-link="internal" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">launch a new cryptocurrency exchange</a> in Thailand, aligning with the country’s new regulations. As global regulators tackle the complex crypto environment, Thailand’s forward-thinking approach underscores the necessity for strong regulations that encourage innovation, prevent fraud, and protect investors.
