泰國 SEC 考慮透過比特幣 ETF 保持泰國在加密貨幣市場的競爭力

泰國證券交易委員會正在考慮允許本地比特幣 ETF，以實現直接進入加密貨幣投資並加強泰國的數位資產市場。

Thailand’s Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) is considering allowing bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) to be listed on local exchanges, a move that would give both individuals and institutions direct access to Bitcoin investments, Bloomberg reported Tuesday.

根據彭博社週二通報，泰國證券交易委員會（SEC）正在考慮允許比特幣交易所交易基金（ETF）在當地交易所上市，此舉將使個人和機構能夠直接獲得比特幣投資。

“The country has to adapt to the rapid increase of cryptocurrency adoption globally,” SEC Secretary General Pornanong Budsaratragoon said on the matter, as per the news outlet.

根據新聞媒體報道，美國證券交易委員會秘書長 Pornanong Budsaratragoon 就此事表示：“該國必須適應全球加密貨幣採用的迅速增長。”

In March 2024, Thailand’s SEC allowed asset management firms to launch funds investing in U.S. spot bitcoin ETFs, which are targeted at institutional investors. One Asset Management rolled out a fund of funds providing investment in foreign bitcoin ETFs later in June.

2024 年 3 月，泰國 SEC 允許資產管理公司推出投資美國現貨比特幣 ETF 的基金，該基金針對機構投資者。 One Asset Management 於 6 月稍後推出了一項基金中的基金，提供對外國比特幣 ETF 的投資。

However, Thailand has not yet gone so far as to approve ETFs that invest directly in bitcoin itself.

然而，泰國尚未批准直接投資比特幣本身的 ETF。

“The SEC has to ensure that the crypto assets, not only that they have to give more options and have to protect investors,” Pornanong reportedly added. “To offer additional investment options in digital assets, Thailand must follow the global cryptocurrency trend.”

據報道，Pornanong 補充道：“美國證券交易委員會必須確保加密資產，不僅要提供更多選擇，還要保護投資者。” “為了提供更多的數位資產投資選擇，泰國必須追隨全球加密貨幣趨勢。”

This would put Thailand further in the running to be a digital assets hub in the Asia Pacific.

這將使泰國進一步成為亞太地區的數位資產中心。

Thailand has been looking to stay competitive with countries like Singapore and Hong Kong, both of which have established favorable regulatory environments for digital assets. Firms like Binance’s expansion into Thailand attest to this fact and the potential of the country in being a key growth market in the digital-asset space.

泰國一直在尋求與新加坡和香港等國家保持競爭力，這兩個國家都為數位資產建立了有利的監管環境。像幣安這樣的公司進軍泰國證明了這一事實，也證明了該國作為數位資產領域關鍵成長市場的潛力。

Moreover, Thailand’s de facto leader, Thaksin Shinawatra, who is an associate of the ruling Pheu Thai Party, has backed the stablecoins being issued by government bonds and has also explored digital currency options.

此外，泰國事實上的領導人、執政黨為泰黨黨員他信·西那瓦（Thaksin Shinawatra）支持政府債券發行的穩定幣，並探索了數位貨幣選擇。

在此試驗中，外國遊客將被允許使用數位貨幣而不是傳統現金。副總理兼財政部長皮查伊·春哈瓦吉拉 (Pichai Chunhavajira) 上週在泰國行銷協會研討會上宣布了這項舉措。

Overall, Thailand’s SEC is becoming more open to cryptocurrency investment. It will also offer more options to investors, including local bitcoin ETFs. The measure hopes to propel Thailand to a leading position in the changing digital-assets arena.

總體而言，泰國 SEC 對加密貨幣投資變得更加開放。它還將為投資者提供更多選擇，包括本地比特幣 ETF。該措施希望推動泰國在不斷變化的數位資產領域佔據領先地位。
