"The country's Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) confirmed this week that it is preparing comprehensive regulatory guidelines that would allow crypto ETFs to be formally established, crypto futures to trade on the Thailand Futures Exchange (TFEX), and digital assets to be recognized as an official asset class under existing derivatives law. SEC Deputy Secretary-General Jomkwan Kongsakul said the new framework is designed to expand access to digital assets while addressing security and custody risks that have historically deterred institutional investors."
""A key advantage of crypto ETFs is ease of access," Kongsakul said, according to local reports. "They eliminate concerns over hacking and wallet security, which has been a major barrier for many investors." Thailand's SEC board has already approved crypto ETFs in principle, with regulators now finalizing operational rules covering custody, liquidity, and cooperation between asset managers and licensed digital asset exchanges."
Thailand is finalizing regulatory guidelines to enable crypto exchange-traded funds, crypto futures trading on TFEX, and recognition of digital assets under derivatives law. The Securities and Exchange Commission aims to expand investor access while mitigating custody and security risks that have deterred institutions. Thailand approved a spot Bitcoin ETF in June 2024 for institutional investors and signaled plans to broaden offerings to other cryptocurrencies and diversified crypto baskets by October 2025. Proposed rules address custody, liquidity, and cooperation between asset managers and licensed digital asset exchanges and would allow investors to allocate roughly 4–5% of diversified portfolios to digital assets.
