The Thailand Policy Summit

The Summit, set to kick off later in the day, promises a day filled with captivating content and engaging discussions, underscoring the significance of the Thai market for Ripple’s operations.

The list of speakers features key figures. Among them are Entwistle; Angela Ang, Senior Policy Advisor at TRM Labs; Rahul Advani, the Policy Director for APAC at Ripple; and Jane Pukasemvarangkoon, the Customer and Partner Success Director at Ripple.

The event will also feature speakers from the public sector, including Archari Suppiroj, the Director of Payment Systems, and Boonrith Pongrasamiroj, the Senior Analyst of Payment Systems. Both individuals represent the Bank of Thailand.

The Summit’s agenda will delve into discussions about global regulatory developments concerning blockchain and digital assets, focusing on the Thai market.

The venue for the Summit is the prestigious W Hotel Bangkok, providing a fitting backdrop for this momentous gathering. The dress code for attendees is business casual.

Ripple Pursues Expansion

Notably, the Thailand Policy Summit is part of the extensive efforts carried out by Ripple to seal its position and bolster recognition in the global market. Ripple also wants to host its momentous Ripple Swell event in Dubai this November.

It bears mentioning that Ripple recently secured an in-principle license from the Monetary Authority of Singapore as part of its global expansion goal. The San Francisco-based firm also highlighted plans to expand into Europe as the MiCA regulation seeks to bring regulatory clarity to the market.
