The Securities and Exchange Commission of Thailand has launched a public consultation regarding the revision of the exchange’s digital asset list, calling for regulations to be coordinated with industry development while maintaining investors’ protection.
Sec announcement On Friday, the consultation period will run until July 21, 2025, as the company seeks feedback on principles to improve the digital asset selection process with “digital asset exchanges.”
“The SEC Committee has decided at its June 2025 meeting to amend the criteria for selecting digital assets offered on the exchange in line with the context of the digital asset industry,” the SEC said in a statement.
The proposed changes allow the exchange to list “ready to use digital tokens or cryptocurrencies” that are issued by Exchange itself or the related parties for blockchain transactions.
The move aims to provide digital assets “consistent with innovation and use development” while promoting Thailand’s digital asset ecosystem, according to regulatory announcements.
Monitoring warning signs
In the proposed framework, the exchange must disclose the names of people associated with the digital token issuer and display warning symbols in the reporting system to assist with SEC monitors and prevent insider trading.
Regulators called for the maintenance of “regulatory mechanisms to prevent and manage conflicts of interest, to prevent market manipulation of digital assets, to prevent unfair practices.”
For tokens already listed before the announcement becomes effective, the issuer has 90 days to provide party disclosures related to the exchange.
The consultation illustrates another step in Thailand’s strategy to acquire international crypto companies and establish itself as a regional financial centre.
