COINOTAG News reported on January 15th that Thailand is on the verge of a groundbreaking development in its cryptocurrency landscape, as market sources indicate potential approval for a local Bitcoin Exchange-Traded Fund (ETF). The Thai Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), led by Secretary-General Pornanong Budsaratragoon, is exploring options to facilitate both individual and institutional investments in a Bitcoin ETF, marking a significant step toward establishing Thailand as a pivotal digital asset hub. This initiative aligns with broader trends within Asia, emphasizing regulatory adaptation to foster innovation. Although Thailand’s One Asset Management initiated a fund-of-fund in June 2024 to offer indirect exposure to foreign Bitcoin ETFs, the national regulatory framework has yet to sanction direct investment products for Bitcoin. Investors will be keenly observing these developments, which could signal a shift in the regional adoption of cryptocurrency investments.
