在前总理提议后，泰国考虑比特币支付试点计划

随着大多数国家转向使用加密货币作为结算手段，泰国可能成为最新采用这种新兴资产的国家。

Thailand is considering launching a pilot Bitcoin payment platform, according to a local Thai news outlet.

据泰国当地新闻媒体报道，泰国正在考虑推出一个试点比特币支付平台。

The initiative would see Thailand enhance its competitiveness in the global landscape by allowing tourists to make payments using cryptocurrencies.

该举措将使泰国通过允许游客使用加密货币付款来增强其在全球格局中的竞争力。

The report adds that the pilot program has received support from Binance’s Thai subsidiary, Gulf Binance.

该报告补充说，该试点计划得到了币安泰国子公司 Gulf Binance 的支持。

The exchange’s CEO, Nirun Fuwattanankul, said that the pilot program could be tested in Phutex City, a notable tourist attraction in the country.

该交易所首席执行官 Nirun Fuwattanankul 表示，该试点计划可以在该国著名旅游景点 Phutex 市进行测试。

“The Phutex Bitcoin payment sandbox is a positive step for the crypto industry and Thailand. It shows that the country is willing to evolve with technological advancements and is taking a proactive approach in exploring the potential benefits of cryptocurrencies,” he added.

“Phutex 比特币支付沙盒对于加密行业和泰国来说是积极的一步。这表明该国愿意随着技术进步而发展，并正在采取积极主动的方式探索加密货币的潜在好处，”他补充道。

However, a significant constraint remains. The Bank of Thailand, the nation’s central bank, prohibits using cryptocurrencies as a payment method.

然而，仍然存在一个重大限制。泰国中央银行泰国银行禁止使用加密货币作为支付方式。

Thailand operates under a restricted currency system, which gives the central bank control of the means of settlement.

泰国在受限制的货币体系下运作，这使得中央银行能够控制结算方式。

Hence, the central bank sees digital asset payment as a ploy to deflect its ability to monitor the financial system and protect residents from bad actors.

因此，央行将数字资产支付视为一种策略，旨在转移其监控金融体系和保护居民免受不良行为者侵害的能力。

Meanwhile, the country’s Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) regulates crypto assets.

与此同时，该国的证券交易委员会（SEC）负责监管加密资产。

As a result, the Bitcoin payment pilot program hinges on close collaboration between the Bank of Thailand and the SEC.

因此，比特币支付试点计划取决于泰国央行和美国证券交易委员会之间的密切合作。

The partnership would establish a framework for Thailand to embrace the emerging sector’s payment solutions.

该合作伙伴关系将为泰国建立一个接受新兴行业支付解决方案的框架。
