The Bank of Thailand Includes USDT in Regulatory Sandbox, Tightening Scrutiny on Grey Fund Flows
BlockBeats News, January 13th. The Bank of Thailand has included the stablecoin USDT in its fund flow monitoring framework as part of efforts to combat "grey money." According to local media, the central bank found that about 40% of USDT sellers on local Thai platforms are foreign traders, and such activities "should not occur in Thailand."
The central bank governor stated that stablecoins, along with cash, gold trading, and e-wallet fund flows, are now subject to increased scrutiny. Despite the small scale of the domestic crypto market, it could be used for illegal or grey fund flows, potentially affecting macroeconomic stability in the long run.
This action follows the Thai government's directive issued on January 9th, which called for stricter reporting and wallet identity rules for digital asset and gold trading, with supervision conducted jointly by the central bank, tax authorities, and other agencies.
