Thailand is shifting focus to a more mature institutional-focused crypto market, according to the chief executive of Binance Thailand.
The digital assets market in Thailand is undergoing a transition from retail to institutional as the country aims to become Southeast Asia’s fintech hub, says the CEO of Binance Thailand.
A recent regulatory move by Thailand’s Securities and Exchange Commission is a “vital step in the maturation of Thailand’s cryptocurrency landscape,” Binance Thailand chief executive Nirun Fuwattananukul wrote in an opinion piece for the Bangkok Post on Oct. 25.
On Oct. 9, the Thai securities regulator proposed rules that would allow institutional-grade mutual and private funds to invest in crypto products such as United States-based spot crypto exchange-traded funds (ETFs).
