幣安泰國支持他信的比特幣提案，敦促央行研究風險

前總理他信·西那瓦提出的比特幣支付試點項目是提升泰國競爭力和吸引力的積極一步

Former premier Thaksin Shinawatra's proposal to introduce a pilot project that will allow Bitcoin payments in Phuket is a positive step to boost Thailand's competitiveness and attractiveness to tech-savvy visitors, but it first needs the Bank of Thailand to thoroughly study the risks, says the Thai unit of Binance.

泰國前總理他信·西那瓦提議在普吉島引入允許比特幣支付的試點項目，這是提高泰國競爭力和對精通科技的遊客的吸引力的積極一步，但首先需要泰國央行徹底研究風險。

Nirun Fuwattananukul, chief executive of Gulf Binance, said the ex-prime minister's suggestion of using Phuket as a Bitcoin sandbox for tourism is extremely positive for the digital asset industry.

海灣幣安執行長 Nirun Fuwattanukul 表示，前總理關於將普吉島用作旅遊業的比特幣沙箱的建議對數位資產產業極為積極。

"It reflects not only the momentum of global crypto adoption but also demonstrates that leaders at the highest level are embracing these transformative technologies. As more countries adopt digital assets and cryptocurrencies, Thailand must not be left behind," he said.

「這不僅反映了全球加密貨幣採用的勢頭，還表明最高層領導人正在擁抱這些變革性技術。隨著越來越多的國家採用數位資產和加密貨幣，泰國絕不能落後，」他說。

"Given our country's reliance on tourism and foreign inflows, integrating cryptocurrencies into Phuket's economy could align well with Thailand's strategic strengths, potentially attracting tech-savvy visitors and investors," Mr Nirun added.

尼倫先生補充說：“鑑於我國對旅遊業和外資流入的依賴，將加密貨幣納入普吉島的經濟可能與泰國的戰略優勢非常契合，有可能吸引精通技術的遊客和投資者。”

In his view, cryptocurrencies are still a relatively new and evolving asset class, and they come with inherent risks, including volatility, security concerns and regulatory challenges. Many of these risks remain uncharted territory.

在他看來，加密貨幣仍然是一種相對較新且不斷發展的資產類別，它們具有固有的風險，包括波動性、安全性問題和監管挑戰。其中許多風險仍然是未知領域。

"Implementing a sandbox approach is a prudent strategy. It provides a controlled environment where regulatory authorities can closely monitor and assess the implications, while businesses and consumers gain practical experience."

“實施沙盒方法是一項審慎的策略。它提供了一個受控環境，監管機構可以在其中密切監控和評估其影響，同時企業和消費者也可以獲得實踐經驗。”

This approach ensures that any risks are thoroughly understood and managed before considering broader nationwide adoption, he told the Bangkok Post.

他告訴《曼谷郵報》，這種方法可確保在考慮在全國範圍內更廣泛採用之前徹底了解和管理任何風險。

"A successful pilot project in Phuket could position Thailand as a regional leader in digital innovation. It could enhance our global reputation as a progressive nation ready to embrace the future of finance while maintaining a responsible and regulated approach," he said.

他表示：“普吉島的成功試點計畫可以使泰國成為數位創新的地區領導者。它可以提高我們作為一個進步國家的全球聲譽，準備擁抱金融的未來，同時保持負責任和監管的方式。”

According to Mr Nirun, Bitcoin payments are already being implemented in many countries, such as the US and Japan. Thailand can learn from these countries' experiences and tailor a solution that fits its unique context.

Nirun 先生表示，比特幣支付已經在美國和日本等許多國家實施。泰國可以學習這些國家的經驗，並制定適合其獨特國情的解決方案。

But unlike the US or Japan, Thailand operates under a restricted currency system, he noted.

但他指出，與美國或日本不同，泰國的貨幣體係受到限制。

"Introducing Bitcoin or other cryptocurrencies as a payment method could have implications for monetary flow and the Bank of Thailand's ability to manage economic stability. This makes it crucial for the central bank to thoroughly study the risks and benefits associated with such a move," he said.

「引入比特幣或其他加密貨幣作為支付方式可能會對貨幣流動和泰國央行管理經濟穩定的能力產生影響。這使得央行必須徹底研究與此舉措相關的風險和收益，」他說。

Key areas of consideration include the potential impact on currency controls, capital flows and monetary policy. For instance, if crypto payments were widely adopted without adequate safeguards, it could disrupt traditional financial mechanisms or challenge the central bank's ability to monitor and regulate economic activities.

考慮的關鍵領域包括對貨幣管制、資本流動和貨幣政策的潛在影響。例如，如果加密支付在沒有足夠保障的情況下被廣泛採用，它可能會擾亂傳統的金融機製或挑戰央行監控和監管經濟活動的能力。

At the same time, regulatory updates would be necessary to make this initiative a reality.

同時，要讓這項措施成為現實，還需要更新監管。

Currently, payment systems fall under the jurisdiction of the central bank, while digital assets are regulated by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). So far, the Bank of Thailand prohibits the use of Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies as a form of payment.

目前，支付系統屬於中央銀行的管轄範圍，而數位資產則由美國證券交易委員會（SEC）監管。到目前為止，泰國銀行禁止使用比特幣和其他加密貨幣作為付款方式。

This means a collaborative discussion between the central bank and the SEC would be required to align their regulations and establish a framework to manage this initiative effectively, said Mr Nirun.

尼倫先生表示，這意味著央行和美國證券交易委員會之間需要進行合作討論，以調整監管並建立有效管理這項措施的框架。

He said key considerations would include addressing consumer protection, anti-money laundering measures, and the potential impact on Thailand's financial stability.

他表示，關鍵考慮因素包括解決消費者保護、反洗錢措施以及對泰國金融穩定的潛在影響。

"The regulatory framework would also need to ensure that crypto payments operate within the country's existing monetary policies and currency controls."

“監管框架還需要確保加密支付在該國現有的貨幣政策和貨幣管制範圍內運作。”

The initiative will require coordination between regulators, industry players and policymakers to strike the right balance between innovation and risk management to create a well-structured approach, said Mr Nirun.

尼倫表示，該措施需要監管機構、產業參與者和政策制定者之間進行協調，以在創新和風險管理之間取得適當的平衡，從而創建一個結構良好的方法。
