                the digital asset exchange platform. The authorized reseller, which is the only

                entity authorized by the Libra Association to interact with the reserve and
                users in exchanging Libra with fiat, may be considered a business within the

                scope of çdigital asset dealeré under the Emergency Decree. As previously

                mentioned, Libra is a blockchain digital currency that can be regarded as
                a type of cryptocurrency under the definition stated in Section 3 of the

                                   (37)
                Emergency Decree.  However, it is worth noting that the Thai Securities and
                Exchange Commission does not allow all types of cryptocurrencies in the

                market to be traded as pairs. For this, the authorized reseller may need to

                obtain a digital asset business license in order to legally operate the business
                under the Thai regulatory framework. Furthermore, Libra will need to be

                qualified by the Thai SEC.


                        However, more importantly, the authorized reseller will only interact

                with the reserve and users in exchanging Libra with fiat. The authorized
                reseller is different from other digital asset businesses, as it was specifically

                designed for so-called Libra and not other types of digital assets or virtual

                currencies. Along with the characteristics of Libra, whose value will be tied

                with that of underlying assets (Libra reserve), the notification KorTor 11/2561

                (The Notification) accordingly issued by the Securities and Exchange
                Commission regarding the exempted digital asset businesses should be further

                taken into account.



                (37)
                  Section 3 of the Emergency Decree on Digital Asset Businesses states that:
                  çSection 3. In this Emergency Decree: çcryptocurrencyé means an electronic data unit
                  created on an electronic system or network for the purpose of being used as a medium
                  of exchange for the acquisition of goods, services or any other rights, or the exchange
                  between digital assets, and shall include any other electronic data units as specified in the

                  notification of the SEC...é
