PANews reported on April 23 that, according to an announcement by the Thailand Securities and Exchange Commission, the agency is revising the licensing rules for digital asset derivatives trading businesses. The revision permits digital asset operators to offer derivative contracts referencing digital assets without establishing new companies, with the aim of promoting the recognition of digital assets as an asset class and providing investors with additional risk hedging tools. The revised requirements mandate that digital asset trading centers applying for derivative business licenses must establish appropriate mechanisms to prevent conflicts of interest, while also enhancing the financial standards of derivative trading centers and clearing institutions. The deadline for public consultation is May 20, 2026.
