- The Thailand Securities and Exchange Commission will allow Bitcoin and Ether ETFs to list on the Stock Exchange of Thailand starting Oct. 16, 2026.
- Crypto ETFs must be traded exclusively on the Thai stock exchange, with no foreign crypto ETF products permitted initially.
- Mutual funds and private funds can now invest in Thai-established crypto ETFs, whereas they were previously limited to foreign options.
- Brokers are prohibited from providing margin loans for purchasing these ETFs, ensuring investor protection.
- Crypto ETFs must maintain at least an average of 80% net exposure to a single cryptocurrency each accounting year.
