However, concerns and suggestions regarding custody led regulators to revise part of the original proposal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">During the first phase, Thai asset management companies would be allowed to create passive ETFs tracking either Bitcoin or Ether.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Each ETF would follow only one cryptocurrency, meaning investors would initially have access to separate Bitcoin and Ether products rather than multi-asset crypto funds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The regulator selected the two assets because of their relatively high liquidity and broad market acceptance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Crypto ETFs Must Maintain at Least 80% Exposure<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One of the most important requirements in the draft is the minimum crypto exposure threshold.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Each locally established ETF would have to maintain average net exposure of at least 80% of its net asset value to its underlying cryptocurrency over the course of each accounting year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This means a Bitcoin ETF would need to keep the majority of its assets linked directly to Bitcoin, while an Ether ETF would have to maintain similar exposure to Ether.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The funds would trade exclusively on the Stock Exchange of Thailand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For investors, this structure could provide access to Bitcoin or Ether through traditional brokerage and securities accounts without requiring them to directly purchase cryptocurrency, manage private keys, or maintain digital wallets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The ETF model may also reduce some of the operational risks associated with direct ownership, including lost credentials, wallet security issues, and hacking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Asset Managers Face Operational Requirements<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Thai asset management companies would remain responsible for creating and operating the crypto ETFs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Before launching a product, managers would need to demonstrate that they have sufficient systems, qualified personnel, and appropriate service providers to manage digital asset exposure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Any investment activity involving cryptocurrencies could only be delegated to a licensed digital asset fund manager.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The draft would also expand the options available to existing mutual funds and private funds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">These funds are already permitted to invest in certain overseas crypto ETFs within applicable investment limits. The proposed changes would allow them to invest in Thai-domiciled crypto ETFs under a similar investment control framework.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However, alternative products tied to foreign crypto ETFs would remain unavailable during the first phase.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For example, depositary receipts referencing overseas crypto ETFs would not initially be permitted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This means locally established and exchange-listed crypto ETFs would remain the primary regulated structure for Thai investors seeking this type of exposure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Domestic Custodians Remain the Preferred Option<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Custody was one of the most closely watched issues during the SEC&#8217;s earlier consultation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Under the revised framework, locally licensed digital asset custodians would remain the primary option for crypto ETFs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However, the SEC would retain the ability to approve qualified overseas custodians when it considers their use necessary or appropriate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This represents a more flexible approach than requiring all custody to remain entirely onshore.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Foreign custodians serving mutual funds or private funds would need to operate under the supervision of a recognized regulator with legal authority over their business.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Their home jurisdiction would also need to meet standards that the Thai SEC considers sufficient for regulation and investor asset protection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The framework would additionally allow qualified digital asset custodians and other properly prepared digital asset businesses to act as trustees for crypto ETFs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">These providers would need adequate capital, experienced personnel, and operational systems and would be expected to maintain those standards throughout their involvement with the funds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Thailand Is Building More Domestic Crypto Custody Capacity<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Thailand has already been working to strengthen its local digital asset custody infrastructure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In May, the SEC proposed changes to net capital and custody requirements designed to encourage more customer assets and trading activity to remain with domestic providers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The broader objective is to reduce dependence on foreign service providers while building stronger local infrastructure for regulated cryptocurrency investment products.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Keeping custody primarily within Thailand could also make regulatory oversight easier, although allowing qualified overseas providers gives fund managers additional flexibility if domestic capacity is insufficient.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The balance between local custody and international providers is likely to remain important as Thailand&#8217;s institutional crypto market expands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">ETF Rules Follow Expansion of Crypto Derivatives<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Thailand&#8217;s ETF framework is part of a wider effort to bring more cryptocurrency products into regulated financial markets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In February, the government recognized cryptocurrencies as eligible underlying assets under the country&#8217;s Derivatives Trading Act.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That change opened the door for assets such as Bitcoin to serve as the basis for regulated futures and options products.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Regulators have also been reviewing licensing requirements for companies interested in providing crypto-linked derivatives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In April, authorities proposed allowing licensed digital asset companies to apply for derivatives licenses without having to establish completely separate legal entities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Such a change could lower operational costs and make it easier for existing regulated crypto businesses to expand into derivatives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Thailand has also discussed cooperation with the Thailand Futures Exchange on products such as Bitcoin futures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Thailand Previously Approved a Bitcoin Fund for Wealthy Investors<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Thailand is not starting from scratch when it comes to regulated Bitcoin investment products.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In June 2024, regulators approved the country&#8217;s first spot Bitcoin-related ETF fund aimed at institutional and ultra-high-net-worth investors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One Asset Management received approval for the ONE Bitcoin ETF Fund of Funds Unhedged and not for Retail Investors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That product was structured as a fund of funds rather than a directly listed domestic spot Bitcoin ETF and was not made available to ordinary retail investors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The new regulatory proposal goes further by establishing rules for crypto ETFs created directly in Thailand and listed on the Stock Exchange of Thailand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That could significantly broaden access if the final regulations eventually allow retail participation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Bitcoin and Ether Will Lead the First Phase<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The SEC plans to limit the first stage of the framework to Bitcoin and Ether.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The regulator considers both assets sufficiently liquid and widely accepted to support exchange-traded investment products.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">No additional cryptocurrencies are currently included.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Limiting the initial rollout to the two largest crypto assets may allow regulators to evaluate market demand, custody arrangements, liquidity, and investor behavior before deciding whether additional tokens should become eligible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The approach mirrors a broader trend among regulators globally, where Bitcoin and Ether have generally been the first cryptocurrencies approved for institutional investment products.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Investor Protection Remains a Key Requirement<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The proposed ETF framework also includes investor protection requirements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Fund managers would need to provide clear disclosures explaining the structure of each ETF, cryptocurrency-specific risks, and how the underlying assets are managed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Investor education would also be required to help buyers understand the risks associated with exposure to highly volatile digital assets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Crypto ETFs may simplify access, but they do not remove the price volatility associated with Bitcoin or Ether.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Asset managers would therefore need to make sure investors understand that an exchange-listed fund can still experience substantial gains and losses based on movements in the underlying cryptocurrency market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Operational readiness, custody safeguards, risk disclosures, and qualified personnel are all central parts of the proposed regulatory structure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What Happens Next for Thailand&#8217;s Crypto ETF Framework?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The public consultation on the crypto ETF proposal opened on Aug. 21, with the SEC formally announcing the draft framework on Aug. 24.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Market participants and members of the public can submit comments until Sept. 20.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After the consultation closes, regulators can review the feedback and make additional changes before moving toward final rules.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If adopted, the framework would give Thailand a clearer structure for locally established Bitcoin and Ether ETFs and could significantly expand regulated cryptocurrency investment options in the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The 80% minimum exposure requirement ensures that the funds remain closely tied to their underlying crypto assets, while the preference for domestic custodians reflects the SEC&#8217;s focus on local oversight and investor protection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For now, Bitcoin and Ether remain the only assets included in the first phase, but the framework could eventually serve as the foundation for a broader range of regulated digital asset investment products in Thailand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Thailand is moving closer to launching locally listed
