Thailand SEC digital asset regulation updates

Overview

The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) of Thailand has implemented and proposed several regulatory updates concerning digital assets and market transparency.

In August 2026, the SEC updated rules for major shareholders in securities and digital asset businesses. The new regulations aim to increase transparency by classifying “significant fund providers” who assist major shareholders as major shareholders themselves. This classification requires formal SEC approval and is intended to mitigate risks such as money laundering and protect capital market stability.

Following these updates, the SEC released draft regulations for spot Bitcoin and Ether exchange-traded funds (ETFs) to be listed on the Stock Exchange of Thailand. The proposed framework requires these ETFs to be passive and maintain an average net exposure of at least 80% to the tracked cryptocurrency. Additionally, the regulator is revising digital asset custody rules, initially emphasizing the use of onshore custodians.
