Thailand's SEC plans to open digital asset derivatives licensing, allowing applications without establishing a new company.

On April 23, according to an official announcement from the Thai Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), the Thai SEC is publicly soliciting opinions on adjusting the licensing rules for futures contract operations. The core content is to allow existing digital asset business operators to directly apply for a futures contract business license without establishing a new company separately, and to formally include digital assets within the scope of reference assets for futures contracts.
