Thailand SEC Plans to Expand Bitcoin ETF into Other Digital Assets, Launch Expected Early Next Year

Bloomberg reports that Thailand plans to expand its domestic cryptocurrency ETF program beyond Bitcoin, targeting the launch of additional digital-asset ETFs in early next year to broaden the local market offering for regulated crypto products.

Securities and Exchange Commission of Thailand (SEC) Secretary‑General Pornanong Budsaratragoon confirmed the SEC of Thailand and relevant agencies are drafting detailed rules for the new ETFs, which are intended to be issued by local mutual funds and institutional managers and build on the policy direction announced earlier this year.

Officials state the forthcoming regime will prioritize investor protection and clear compliance frameworks, positioning the country’s evolving Thailand crypto ETF market to support institutional participation while subject to standard regulatory approvals and timelines.
