泰國央行敦促考慮他信·西那瓦的比特幣（BTC）支付試點計畫提案

幣安泰國分公司執行長鼓勵泰國央行考慮前總理他信·西那瓦（Thaksin Shinawatra）關於比特幣支付試點計畫的提議，這樣國家就不會落後。

Thailand is working towards making former prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra’s suggestion for a Bitcoin (BTC) payment pilot project a reality, with Binance’s Thai arm set to support the initiative.

泰國正在努力將前總理他信·西那瓦 (Thaksin Shinawatra) 關於比特幣 (BTC) 支付試點項目的建議變為現實，幣安的泰國部門將支持該計劃。

The proposal aims to establish Phuket as a Bitcoin sandbox for tourism. The move comes as several regions, including the U.S. and Japan, are looking towards making use of Bitcoin as an alternative currency.

該提案旨在將普吉島打造成旅遊業的比特幣沙箱。此舉出台之際，包括美國和日本在內的多個地區正在尋求使用比特幣作為替代貨幣。

According to Nirun Fuwattananukul, chief executive of Gulf Binance, a joint venture between Binance Thailand and Gulf Innova, the initiative aligns well with Thailand’s strengths and could attract tech-savvy visitors and investors.

幣安泰國和海灣 Innova 的合資企業 Gulf Binance 執行長 Nirun Fuwattananukul 表示，該舉措與泰國的優勢非常契合，可以吸引精通技術的遊客和投資者。

However, Thailand is legally bound to restrict payments to only its local currency. As a result, the Bitcoin pilot project will provide the central bank with an opportunity to assess the risks and benefits associated with cryptocurrency.

然而，泰國在法律上有義務限制僅使用其當地貨幣進行付款。因此，比特幣試點計畫將為央行提供評估與加密貨幣相關的風險和收益的機會。

“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,” Fuwattananukul said.

Fuwattananukul 表示：“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。”

The Bank of Thailand regulates payment systems in the country, while digital assets fall under the jurisdiction of the Thai Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).

泰國銀行負責監管該國的支付系統，而數位資產則由泰國證券交易委員會（SEC）管轄。

According to Fuwattananukul, both entities will need to align their regulatory frameworks and work together to oversee the pilot project.

Fuwattananukul 表示，兩個實體需要調整監管框架，並共同監督試點計畫。

The initiative will also be subject to Thailand’s existing monetary policies and currency controls. Key considerations include consumer protection, anti-money laundering measures and the potential impact on Thailand’s financial stability.

該倡議也將受到泰國現有貨幣政策和貨幣管制的約束。主要考慮因素包括消費者保護、反洗錢措施以及對泰國金融穩定的潛在影響。

“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,” Fuwattananukul said.

Fuwattananukul 表示：“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。”

As crypto.news reported in November, Binance has been targeting Thailand as a key market for pushing widespread crypto adoption as the country progressively becomes more open to crypto regulations.

正如 crypto.news 在 11 月報導的那樣，隨著泰國逐漸對加密法規更加開放，幣安一直將泰國作為推動加密貨幣廣泛採用的關鍵市場。

Binance chief marketing officer Rachel Conlan said Thailand was among the top 20 Binance markets, with local crypto penetration estimated at 12%, double the global average of 6%.

幣安首席行銷長 Rachel Conlan 表示，泰國是幣安排名前 20 名的市場之一，當地加密貨幣滲透率估計為 12%，是全球平均 6% 的兩倍。
