The new regulations are expected to be announced "later this month."

In mid-February, the governor of the Central Bank of Thailand issued a circular asking all Thai banks to pay their bills. refrain from trading and investing in crypto. and to prohibit their participation and creation in cryptographic exchanges and trading platforms. This circular only referred to banks, not to cryptographic exchanges, which are still allowed to operate in the country.
