泰国央行敦促考虑他信·西那瓦的比特币（BTC）支付试点项目提案

币安泰国分公司首席执行官鼓励泰国央行考虑前总理他信·西那瓦（Thaksin Shinawatra）关于比特币支付试点项目的提议，这样国家就不会落后。

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.

泰国正在努力将前总理他信·西那瓦 (Thaksin Shinawatra) 关于比特币 (BTC) 支付试点项目的建议变为现实，币安的泰国部门将支持该计划。

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.

该提案旨在将普吉岛打造成旅游业的比特币沙箱。此举出台之际，包括美国和日本在内的多个地区正在寻求使用比特币作为替代货币。

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.

币安泰国和海湾 Innova 的合资企业 Gulf Binance 首席执行官 Nirun Fuwattananukul 表示，该举措与泰国的优势非常契合，可以吸引精通技术的游客和投资者。

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，泰国在法律上有义务限制仅使用其当地货币进行付款。因此，比特币试点项目将为央行提供评估与加密货币相关的风险和收益的机会。

“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。”

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).

泰国银行负责监管该国的支付系统，而数字资产则由泰国证券交易委员会（SEC）管辖。

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

Fuwattananukul 表示，两个实体需要调整监管框架，并共同监督试点项目。

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.

该倡议还将受到泰国现有货币政策和货币管制的约束。主要考虑因素包括消费者保护、反洗钱措施以及对泰国金融稳定的潜在影响。

“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：“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。”

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 月报道的那样，随着泰国逐渐对加密法规更加开放，币安一直将泰国作为推动加密货币广泛采用的关键市场。

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%.

币安首席营销官 Rachel Conlan 表示，泰国是币安排名前 20 的市场之一，当地加密货币渗透率估计为 12%，是全球平均水平 6% 的两倍。
