Sources: 5. Developments: 2. Thailand is undergoing legislative and regulatory reforms to modernize its capital markets and support the digital economy. In late August 2026, the Thai Cabinet approved four amendments to laws including the Securities and Exchange Act and the Derivatives Act. These reforms aim to expand the oversight powers of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) over digital assets, such as cryptocurrencies, to improve investor protection and align with international standards. Following these broad legislative moves, the SEC has moved toward specific regulatory adjustments. In mid-September 2026, the commission proposed expanding the definition of institutional investors to facilitate fundraising through Private Equity Trusts (PE Trusts). This proposal seeks to include government research agencies and university holding companies as eligible investors to increase capital access for startups and innovation-driven sectors. ## Timeline ### 2026-09-14: Thailand SEC proposes expanding institutional investor definition for PE Trusts Thailand's SEC is proposing to expand the definition of institutional investors to include government research agencies and university holding companies to boost Private Equity Trust fundraising. 2 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/thailand-sec-proposes-expanding-institutional-investor-definition-for-pe-trusts ### 2026-08-26: Thailand Cabinet approves four capital market law amendments Thailand's Cabinet approved four legislative amendments to modernize capital markets, expanding SEC oversight of digital assets and cryptocurrencies to enhance investor protection. 3 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/thailand-cabinet-approves-four-capital-market-law-amendments --- Cite as: Thailand capital market regulatory reforms.
