The Securities and Exchange Commission is now seeking public feedback on revised rules designed to expand investment choices while strengthening investor protections.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The proposal marks a significant step for Thailand&#8217;s regulated crypto market. However, the framework remains subject to consultation and has not yet created a live ETF market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"h-80-minimum-crypto-exposure\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">80% Minimum Crypto Exposure<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Under the proposed rules, crypto ETFs would use passive management and seek to track the price performance of a single underlying cryptocurrency. Each fund must maintain average net exposure of at least 80% of its net asset value to that crypto asset over the accounting year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The SEC said eligible cryptocurrencies must meet standards covering liquidity, broad market acceptance, network security and investor protection. Bitcoin and Ethereum would qualify during the initial phase.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The structure could give Thai investors regulated access to spot crypto exposure through the traditional capital market rather than requiring them to hold digital assets directly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"h-stricter-custody-and-investor-safeguards\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Stricter Custody and Investor Safeguards<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The proposed framework would require crypto ETF assets to be primarily held with digital asset custodians supervised by the Thai SEC. The regulator has also proposed allowing overseas custodians when necessary and appropriate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Funds would trade exclusively on the Stock Exchange of Thailand. Asset managers would need to provide clear information about fund structures, risks and investment mechanisms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Investor protections would also include education and confirmation that investors understand the risks before trading. The SEC has emphasized avoiding excessive concentration in digital assets and matching investments with individual risk tolerance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Thailand&#8217;s latest proposal builds on an earlier consultation launched in April. If finalized, the framework could strengthen the country&#8217;s digital asset ecosystem while bringing Bitcoin and Ether exposure closer to conventional regulated investment products.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Thailand is advancing plans to allow domestic spot cryptocurrency exchange-traded funds, with Bitcoin and Ether set to become the first eligible assets under a proposed framework.

Thailand\u2019s leading cryptocurrency exchange, has revealed ambitious plans for a public offering in 2025. This strategic move is set to enhance the company\u2019s market presence and potentially value the exchange at approximately 6 billion baht ($165 million). The announcement was made by Jirayut Srupsrisopa, the CEO of Bitkub Capital Group, the parent company of Bitkub Online, during an interview with Bloomberg. Riding the Wave of Cryptocurrency Demand Bitkub\u2019s journey towards an IPO coincides with a significant uptick in the demand for cryptocurrency trading accounts, driven by the remarkable performance of Bitcoin and the broader crypto market this year. Bitcoin\u2019s value surged by 57%, while the overall crypto market experienced a 49% increase, leading to the highest number of active accounts in Thailand since September 2022. This surge in interest underscores the growing appetite among investors and the public for digital currencies and the platforms that facilitate their trade. Overcoming Challenges and Facing Competition Despite the optimism surrounding its IPO, Bitkub navigates through a competitive landscape marked by the entry of Binance Thailand, a collaboration between the world\u2019s largest crypto exchange by trading volume and Gulf Innova. Additionally, Bitkub\u2019s plans have not been without hurdles. A notable setback occurred when a proposed acquisition by Siam Commercial Bank (SCB), Thailand\u2019s oldest lender, was halted by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Furthermore, Bitkub faced legal challenges in September 2022, when it was included in a lawsuit by the SEC for allegedly manipulating trading volumes. The company\u2019s resilience in overcoming these obstacles and its continued dominance in Thailand\u2019s crypto market, accounting for about 80% of its parent company\u2019s profit, underscores its potential for a successful IPO. With a significant ownership stake of 9.2% held by Asphere Innovations, Bitkub is well-positioned to navigate the complexities of the public market and capitalize on the burgeoning interest in cryptocurrency trading.\"},{\"@type\":\"BreadcrumbList\",\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.cryptometer.io\\\/news\\\/thailand-moves-toward-spot-bitcoin-and-ether-etfs-with-80-exposure-rule\\\/#breadcrumb\",\"itemListElement\":[{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":1,\"name\":\"Home\",\"item\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.cryptometer.io\\\/news\\\/\"},{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":2,\"name\":\"Thailand Moves Toward Spot Bitcoin and Ether ETFs With 80% Exposure Rule\"}]},{\"@type\":\"WebSite\",\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.cryptometer.io\\\/news\\\/#website\",\"url\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.cryptometer.io\\\/news\\\/\",\"name\":\"CryptoMeter.io\",\"description\":\"\",\"publisher\":{\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.cryptometer.io\\\/news\\\/#organization\"},\"alternateName\":\"CryptoMeter.io\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"SearchAction\",\"target\":{\"@type\":\"EntryPoint\",\"urlTemplate\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.cryptometer.io\\\/news\\\/?s={search_term_string}\"},\"query-input\":{\"@type\":\"PropertyValueSpecification\",\"valueRequired\":true,\"valueName\":\"search_term_string\"}}],\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\"},{\"@type\":\"Organization\",\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.cryptometer.io\\\/news\\\/#organization\",\"name\":\"CryptoMeter.io\",\"url\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.cryptometer.io\\\/news\\\/\",\"logo\":{\"@type\":\"ImageObject\",\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.cryptometer.io\\\/news\\\/#\\\/schema\\\/logo\\\/image\\\/\",\"url\":\"https:\\\/\\\/i0.wp.com\\\/www.cryptometer.io\\\/news\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/2023\\\/01\\\/cropped-favicon_large.png?fit=512%2C512&ssl=1\",\"contentUrl\":\"https:\\\/\\\/i0.wp.com\\\/www.cryptometer.io\\\/news\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/2023\\\/01\\\/cropped-favicon_large.png?fit=512%2C512&ssl=1\",\"width\":512,\"height\":512,\"caption\":\"CryptoMeter.io\"},\"image\":{\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.cryptometer.io\\\/news\\\/#\\\/schema\\\/logo\\\/image\\\/\"},\"sameAs\":[\"https:\\\/\\\/x.com\\\/CryptoMeterIO\"],\"publishingPrinciples\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.cryptometer.io\\\/news\\\/about-us\\\/\"},{\"@type\":\"Person\",\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.cryptometer.io\\\/news\\\/#\\\/schema\\\/person\\\/d05d4ef65ae9752036cc2b5e044592f9\",\"name\":\"Adam L\",\"image\":{\"@type\":\"ImageObject\",\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.cryptometer.io\\\/news\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/2024\\\/04\\\/cropped-3-96x96.png\",\"url\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.cryptometer.io\\\/news\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/2024\\\/04\\\/cropped-3-96x96.png\",\"contentUrl\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.cryptometer.io\\\/news\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/2024\\\/04\\\/cropped-3-96x96.png\",\"caption\":\"Adam L\"},\"description\":\"In the world of blockchain and cryptocurrencies, I have a great deal of passion and interest.
