Thailand consults the community on listing regulations for tokens issued by exchanges

The Securities and Exchange Commission of Thailand (SEC #thailand ) has just opened a public consultation on a new set of criteria for listing digital assets, particularly allowing exchanges to list tokens they issue themselves or those of related parties. The comment period will last until July 21, 2025.

According to the draft, tokens must be "immediately usable tokens" and related to actual blockchain applications. At the same time, exchanges are required to publicly disclose the identities of the parties involved in the issuing organization, as well as to display clear warnings in the reporting system to prevent insider trading.

The SEC of Thailand emphasizes that the goal is to balance technological innovation with investor protection, while also "preventing market manipulation and conflicts of interest."

For tokens that have already been listed, the issuer will have 90 days to complete the announcement of information after the new regulations take effect.

This is a new step in the strategy to make Thailand a financial and cryptocurrency hub in the region. Previously, the country exempted profits from crypto for 5 years, expected to bring more than 30 million USD in economic value. The government is also considering allowing Bitcoin spot ETFs and testing crypto payment for tourism in Phuket. #anhbacong
