digital token participants and cryptocurrency participants, including under the

might also be regulated under the Decree, as a stablecoin is regarded as a
type of cryptocurrency due to its characteristics.
In other words, the Emergency Decree provides the legal foundation
for digital asset business operators and digital token portal service providers.
In general, the Decree included requirements relating to the public offering of
digital tokens (Section 16-25), restrictions on digital asset businesses (Section
26-31) and details on competent officers (Section 51-56) under the Act. In
particular, Section 3 of the Emergency Decree categorised çdigital asset
businessesé into four main types. These include digital asset exchanges, digital
asset brokers, digital asset dealers and other businesses that may be allocated
by the Minister under the recommendation of the SEC. Moreover, Section 26
stated that all of these businesses must obtain an operational license in order
to conduct their operations legally in Thailand. In terms of licensing
requirements, the subordinate rules set out detailed requirements that include
paid-up capital requirements and the companyûs registration requirements.
