Thailand’s Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) is set to launch a blockchain-based trading system for digital tokens, aiming to enhance efficiency in the capital market.

The new platform will enable securities firms to trade tokenized assets using their investor networks.

According to SEC Deputy Secretary-General Jomkwan Kongsakul, the initiative supports the issuance of electronic securities and the online purchase of debentures (long-term debt instruments).

The SEC has already approved four digital token projects, with two more under review, focusing on green tokens and investment-based assets.

Specific blockchains have not been disclosed, but a shared ledger is planned for seamless connectivity.

Additionally, the SEC will issue two types of securities: tokenized versions of traditional assets and fully digital-native securities.
