According to The Nation, the Bank of Thailand (BoT) is preparing to develop regulatory guidelines for Thai baht stablecoins, with official rules expected to be released sometime in 2026 or in early 2027. The report says that the stablecoin framework is mainly intended to improve payment and settlement efficiency rather than to function as a speculative digital asset. The Bank of Thailand is also exploring its use in carbon credit markets and green finance products, and plans to gradually allow commercial banks and financial institutions to expand stablecoin and digital-asset-related businesses.

BoT's moves this time are quite steady, combining payment efficiency and green finance, much more reliable than pure hype.

Regulations won't come out until 2026? Southeast Asia's regulatory timeline is always so laid-back 😂

Starting from payment settlement and then expanding to green finance, this roadmap is much clearer than that of neighboring Vietnam.

A good non-speculative positioning saves you from becoming the next UST disaster.

Commercial banks are finally entering the market, and it's estimated that local banks have long been waiting for licenses.

Carbon credits + stablecoins, this combo is interesting. Thailand is working on a new kind of ESG.
