Thailand Takes Major Step Toward Crypto ETFs and Futures Trading

The Bank of Thailand is finalizing its framework for a 1:1 baht-backed stablecoin, with every token required to be fully backed by liquid reserves held in segregated accounts at licensed financial institutions. The initiative follows extensive testing in the central bank’s Programmable Payment Sandbox and marks a step toward a regulated digital currency.
