Thailand SEC Launches Consultation on Digital Asset Listing Rules – Coincu

Thai SEC to Enhance Transparency with New Rules by 2025
The Securities and Exchange Commission of Thailand announced a public consultation on new digital asset listing rules starting from June 20, 2025, lasting until July 21, 2025. The proposed rules aim to enhance market transparency.

Regulations and Market Dynamics Amid SEC Proposals

The SEC proposes that Thai exchanges can list digital tokens they or affiliates issue, requiring stricter disclosure to prevent insider trading. This consultation, lasting until July 21, 2025, reflects ongoing regulatory adjustments. Emphasizing transparency, the SEC requires exchanges to mark warning symbols on affiliate-issued tokens. Potential impacts include enhanced investor protection and clearer market supervision, which aligns with the SEC’s initiative for improved industry oversight. Exchanges must comply with these stringent measures or risk penalties. “The public consultation will last until July 21, 2025, and outlines the rationale for stricter information disclosure and the marking of warning symbols for affiliate-issued tokens.”

Industry stakeholders have shown limited public response so far. While the SEC’s website outlines the consultation details, major market players have yet to publicly react, possibly awaiting final rule implementation.

The current Thai SEC regulation stems from the 2018 Emergency Decree, highlighting ongoing efforts to refine digital asset oversight amid emerging technologies.
