泰国 SEC 考虑通过比特币 ETF 保持泰国在加密货币市场的竞争力

泰国证券交易委员会正在考虑允许本地比特币 ETF，以实现直接进入加密货币投资并加强泰国的数字资产市场。

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.

据彭博社周二报道，泰国证券交易委员会（SEC）正在考虑允许比特币交易所交易基金（ETF）在当地交易所上市，此举将使个人和机构能够直接获得比特币投资。

“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.

据新闻媒体报道，美国证券交易委员会秘书长 Pornanong Budsaratragoon 就此事表示：“该国必须适应全球加密货币采用的迅速增长。”

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，泰国 SEC 允许资产管理公司推出投资美国现货比特币 ETF 的基金，该基金针对机构投资者。 One Asset Management 于 6 月晚些时候推出了一项基金中的基金，提供对外国比特币 ETF 的投资。

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

然而，泰国尚未批准直接投资比特币本身的 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.”

据报道，Pornanong 补充道：“美国证券交易委员会必须确保加密资产，不仅要提供更多选择，还要保护投资者。” “为了提供更多的数字资产投资选择，泰国必须追随全球加密货币趋势。”

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

这将使泰国进一步成为亚太地区的数字资产中心。

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.

泰国一直在寻求与新加坡和香港等国家保持竞争力，这两个国家都为数字资产建立了有利的监管环境。像币安这样的公司进军泰国证明了这一事实，也证明了该国作为数字资产领域关键增长市场的潜力。

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，泰国事实上的领导人、执政党为泰党党员他信·西那瓦（Thaksin Shinawatra）支持政府债券发行的稳定币，并探索了数字货币选择。

在此试验中，外国游客将被允许使用数字货币而不是传统现金。副总理兼财政部长皮查伊·春哈瓦吉拉 (Pichai Chunhavajira) 上周在泰国营销协会研讨会上宣布了这一举措。

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.

总体而言，泰国 SEC 对加密货币投资变得更加开放。它还将为投资者提供更多选择，包括本地比特币 ETF。该措施希望推动泰国在不断变化的数字资产领域占据领先地位。
