SEC to expand digital asset frameworkListen to this articleThe Thai regulator is planning to unveil new rules this year that support digital asset investment. The SEC also wants to expand the use of digital tokens for investment, moving beyond existing investment tokens to include bond tokens and tokenised fund units. The SEC board already approved crypto ETFs in principle and is now finalising detailed investment and operational rules, she said. Close cooperation is required between asset management companies and licensed digital asset exchanges, enabling jointly developed products that can eventually be listed and traded on the SET, said Ms Jomkwan. In 2025, digital asset operators suspended 47,692 mule accounts, reflecting intensified enforcement efforts.
