Thailand’s stock exchange is preparing to launch a new trading platform that would not include cryptocurrencies.
Crypto Exempted From SET’s Planned Trading Platform
According to the
Bangkok Post on Wednesday (Jan. 20, 2021) the Stock Exchange of Thailand (SET) announced plans to launch a digital assets trading platform. The upcoming platform will include different tokens except cryptocurrencies.
The Thailand bourse noted that the tokens must meet certain criteria before they would be listed on the platform. The requirements include:
“First, the token must have an underlying asset that investors can analyze on value. Second, it must be a valuable product that supports economic activities. Third, the product must have benefits to society and the environment.”

The Stock Exchange of Thailand (SET) will launch a digital asset trading platform in the second half of this year to allow trading on all types of digital token assets excluding cryptocurrencies.
The SET says cryptocurrencies do not meet its product qualifications and could facilitate money laundering, while causing harm to the bourse s image as a high trust exchange.
SET executive vice-president Kitti Sutthiatthasil said the digital asset platform will be similar to other popular e-commerce marketplaces such as Amazon, Lazada or Shopee, but all products on SET s platform will be digital token assets.
