Thailand’s Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) is inviting public feedback on proposed amendments to its digital asset listing regulations as part of broader efforts to tighten oversight while promoting a secure and transparent crypto ecosystem.
The SEC launched a public consultation this week, allowing citizens, businesses, and stakeholders to weigh in on the updated listing criteria for licensed crypto exchanges. Opinions can be submitted through the SEC’s official website, Thailand’s central legal system platform, or email. The feedback window will remain open until July 21.
🇹🇭 JUST IN: Thailand’s SEC opens public consultation on new crypto listing rules — aims to allow exchanges to list self-issued tokens with stricter disclosures.

These proposals follow a board meeting held earlier this month, during which the SEC approved plans to revamp digital asset listing rules. If enacted, the revisions would permit exchanges to list utility tokens or cryptocurrencies issued by themselves or their affiliated entities, provided they serve a functional purpose within blockchain networks.
In a push to increase accountability, the new framework would also mandate greater disclosure from exchanges. Operators would be required to reveal the identities of individuals connected to the issuers of listed digital tokens. This information would be flagged using alert symbols within the SEC’s electronic reporting system, designed to enhance oversight and reduce risks of insider trading.
Tokens that are already trading prior to the implementation of the new rules would not be exempt. Exchanges must ensure that token issuers disclose all related parties within 90 days of the announcement’s effective date.
The regulatory overhaul aligns with Thailand’s broader vision to establish itself as a global digital asset hub, balancing innovation with investor protection. It follows closely on the heels of several major policy shifts, including the government’s decision to waive capital gains tax on crypto profits earned via licensed platforms. The tax exemption took effect on January 1 and will run through December 31, 2029.
The SEC’s call for feedback also arrives amid heightened enforcement activity.
Beginning June 28, the commission—working under the Ministry of Digital Economy and Society—will block access to five unauthorized crypto exchanges: Bybit, 1000X, CoinEx, OKX, and XT.COM. The platforms have been accused of offering trading services to Thai residents without obtaining the necessary licenses.
