Thailand's Securities and Exchange Commission has finalized rules permitting bitcoin and ether ETFs to list starting October 16, 2026, on the Stock Exchange of Thailand. The ETFs must be passive, track a single crypto asset, and maintain at least 80% exposure, with strict investor protections including no margin trading and mandatory risk disclosures. However, the local crypto market is shrinking, with active exchange accounts dropping from 265,000 in 2024 to 121,000 in July 2026, and daily trading values declining. The move aims to channel crypto trading into regulated, familiar products amid declining market activity and excludes access to foreign crypto ETFs for retail investors, focusing instead on domestic offerings.
Thailand's new bitcoin ETF rules provide context for crypto markets.
