币安泰国支持他信的比特币提案，敦促央行研究风险

前总理他信·西那瓦提出的比特币支付试点项目是提升泰国竞争力和吸引力的积极一步

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.

泰国前总理他信·西那瓦提议在普吉岛引入允许比特币支付的试点项目，这是提高泰国竞争力和对科技游客吸引力的积极一步，但首先需要泰国央行彻底研究风险。币安的单位。

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.

海湾币安首席执行官 Nirun Fuwattanukul 表示，前总理关于将普吉岛用作旅游业的比特币沙箱的建议对数字资产行业极为积极。

"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.

“这不仅反映了全球加密货币采用的势头，还表明最高层领导人正在拥抱这些变革性技术。随着越来越多的国家采用数字资产和加密货币，泰国决不能落后，”他说。

"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.

尼伦先生补充道：“鉴于我国对旅游业和外资流入的依赖，将加密货币纳入普吉岛的经济可能与泰国的战略优势非常契合，有可能吸引精通技术的游客和投资者。”

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.

在他看来，加密货币仍然是一种相对较新且不断发展的资产类别，它们具有固有的风险，包括波动性、安全问题和监管挑战。其中许多风险仍然是未知领域。

"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."

“实施沙盒方法是一项审慎的策略。它提供了一个受控环境，监管机构可以在其中密切监控和评估其影响，同时企业和消费者也可以获得实践经验。”

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

他告诉《曼谷邮报》，这种方法可确保在考虑在全国范围内更广泛采用之前彻底了解和管理任何风险。

"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：“普吉岛的成功试点项目可以使泰国成为数字创新的地区领导者。它可以提高我们作为一个进步国家的全球声誉，准备拥抱金融的未来，同时保持负责任和监管的方式。”

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，比特币支付已经在美国和日本等许多国家实施。泰国可以学习这些国家的经验，并制定适合其独特国情的解决方案。

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

但他指出，与美国或日本不同，泰国的货币体系受到限制。

"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.

“引入比特币或其他加密货币作为支付方式可能会对货币流动和泰国央行管理经济稳定的能力产生影响。这使得央行必须彻底研究与这一举措相关的风险和收益，”他说。

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.

考虑的关键领域包括对货币管制、资本流动和货币政策的潜在影响。例如，如果加密支付在没有足够保障的情况下被广泛采用，它可能会扰乱传统的金融机制或挑战央行监控和监管经济活动的能力。

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

与此同时，要使这一举措成为现实，还需要更新监管。

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，支付系统属于中央银行的管辖范围，而数字资产则由美国证券交易委员会（SEC）监管。到目前为止，泰国银行禁止使用比特币和其他加密货币作为支付方式。

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.

尼伦先生表示，这意味着央行和美国证券交易委员会之间需要进行合作讨论，以调整监管并建立有效管理这一举措的框架。

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，关键考虑因素包括解决消费者保护、反洗钱措施以及对泰国金融稳定的潜在影响。

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

“监管框架还需要确保加密支付在该国现有的货币政策和货币管制范围内运作。”

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.

尼伦表示，该举措需要监管机构、行业参与者和政策制定者之间进行协调，以在创新和风险管理之间取得适当的平衡，从而创建一个结构良好的方法。
