The Thai Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) is currently investigating the potential approval of a Bitcoin exchange-traded fund (ETF) for listing on domestic exchanges. This move could significantly boost Thailand's position as a growing hub for digital asset investment.
According to Secretary-General Pornanong Budsaratragoon, the SEC is considering allowing both individual and institutional investors access to these Bitcoin ETFs. Currently, Thai investors lack direct access to Bitcoin ETFs within the country. However, a significant step forward was taken in June 2024 when One Asset Management introduced a fund of funds that provides exposure to overseas Bitcoin ETFs.
The potential approval of a domestic Bitcoin ETF would mark a pivotal moment for Thailand's crypto market. It would facilitate broader adoption by providing a regulated and accessible investment vehicle for both retail and institutional investors. This move is expected to further stimulate interest and investment in the digital asset space within the region.
