泰國考慮在當地交易所上市比特幣 ETF

泰國正在評估在當地交易所上市比特幣交易所交易基金（ETF）的可能性。

Thailand is considering listing Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) on local exchanges to offer both individuals and institutions exposure to the leading cryptocurrency, according to a report by Bloomberg on March 7.

根據彭博社 3 月 7 日報道，泰國正在考慮在當地交易所上市比特幣交易所交易基金 (ETF)，為個人和機構提供領先的加密貨幣投資機會。

The move is part of Thailand's broader efforts to keep pace with the growing adoption of cryptocurrencies around the world.

此舉是泰國為跟上全球加密貨幣日益普及的步伐而做出的更廣泛努力的一部分。

In June 2024, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) greenlit the country's first Bitcoin ETF, albeit for professional investors, offering indirect exposure to international Bitcoin ETFs.

2024 年 6 月，美國證券交易委員會 (SEC) 批准了該國首個比特幣 ETF（面向專業投資者），提供對國際比特幣 ETF 的間接投資。

The SEC-approved ETF, launched by One Asset Management (ONEAM), is structured as a "fund of funds." This means it provides investors with exposure to Bitcoin through investments in 11 major global Bitcoin funds, aiming to mitigate the risks associated with directly holding the volatile cryptocurrency. However, access to the fund is limited to accredited and institutional investors.

該 ETF 經美國證券交易委員會 (SEC) 批准，由 One Asset Management (ONEAM) 推出，結構為「基金中的基金」。這意味著它透過投資全球 11 個主要比特幣基金為投資者提供比特幣敞口，旨在降低直接持有這種波動性加密貨幣的相關風險。然而，該基金的參與僅限於認可的機構投資者。

The current proposal for locally-listed ETFs would mark a shift towards broader market accessibility and aims to position Thailand as a leader in digital asset innovation in the Asia-Pacific region.

目前針對本地上市 ETF 的提議將標誌著向更廣泛的市場准入的轉變，旨在將泰國定位為亞太地區數位資產創新的領導者。

“Like it or not, we have to move along with more adoption of cryptocurrencies worldwide,” SEC Secretary-General Pornanong Budsaratragoon said on Tuesday. “We have to adapt and ensure that our investors have more options in crypto assets with proper protection.”

美國證券交易委員會秘書長 Pornanong Budsaratragoon 週二表示：“無論你喜歡與否，我們都必須推動加密貨幣在全球範圍內得到更多採用。” “我們必須適應並確保我們的投資者在加密資產方面有更多選擇並受到適當的保護。”

The SEC is also considering other measures, such as the issuance of stablecoins backed by government or corporate bonds, as part of its strategy to broaden access to both digital and traditional financial markets.

美國證券交易委員會也正在考慮其他措施，例如發行由政府或公司債支持的穩定幣，作為其擴大數位和傳統金融市場准入策略的一部分。

In December ,Binance’s Thai subsidiary, Gulf Binance, endorsed Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra's proposal for a Bitcoin sandbox pilot in Phuket, while urging caution and thorough evaluation from the Bank of Thailand (BoT).

去年12 月，幣安的泰國子公司Gulf Binance 支持泰國總理他信·西那瓦(Thaksin Shinawatra) 在普吉島開展比特幣沙盒試點的提議，同時敦促泰國央行(BoT) 謹慎行事並進行徹底評估。

Describing Thaksin's proposal as a significant step for Thailand's digital economy, Gulf Binance CEO Nirun Fuwattananukul highlighted how it aligns with global crypto adoption trends and Thailand's economic strengths.

海灣幣安執行長 Nirun Fuwattananukul 將他信的提案描述為泰國數位經濟的重要一步，並強調了該提案如何與全球加密貨幣採用趨勢和泰國的經濟實力保持一致。

Emphasizing the need for a comprehensive legal framework and close collaboration between government agencies, Nirun noted, “This initiative not only reflects the momentum of 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."

Nirun 強調政府機構之間需要建立全面的法律框架和密切合作，「這項舉措不僅反映了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。

Digital asset trading activity in Thailand is picking up steam. As of November 2024, there were around 270,000 active crypto trading accounts.

泰國的數位資產交易活動正在升溫。截至 2024 年 11 月，約有 27 萬個活躍的加密貨幣交易帳戶。
