According to PANews, the Thai Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) is set to launch a blockchain-based trading platform, enabling securities companies to trade digital tokens. This initiative marks a significant step in the development of Thailand's digital finance sector. The move aims to modernize capital markets and enhance the efficiency of securities trading through distributed ledger technology (DLT). Jomkwan Kongsakul, the SEC's Deputy Secretary-General, noted that the growing demand for tokenized investments has driven the regulatory body to create a fully digital bond trading system.
The platform will support both primary and secondary markets, covering settlement, investor registration, payment, and trading processes, with multi-chain interoperability. The SEC is also working on new regulations to streamline the issuance of electronic securities and the online purchase process for corporate long-term debt instruments, such as bonds. The plan has approved four digital token projects, with two more under review, focusing on green tokens and investment-based projects. The SEC envisions establishing a shared ledger system connecting multiple blockchain networks to ensure seamless and secure cross-chain transactions. In this evolving landscape, two types of securities will be issued: tokenized traditional securities and fully digital native electronic securities, catering to both institutional and retail investors.#Thailand #SEC #blockchain #tradingplatform #digitaltokens #digitalfinance #capitalmarkets #securitiestrading #distributedledgertechnology #tokenizedinvestments #electronicsecurities #bonds #greentokens #crosschain #digitalsecurities #investors

🚀 SEC and CFTC Release Landmark Digital Asset Classification Guidelines
#SEC #CFTC #DigitalAssets #CryptoRegulation #TokenClassification #Stablecoins #DigitalSecurities #Blockchain #Cryptocurrency #CryptoGuidelines #BTC #ETH
The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) have jointly issued new guidelines for classifying digital assets. According to ChainCatcher, these guidelines categorize digital assets into five types: digital commodities, digital collectibles, digital utilities, stablecoins, and digital securities (tokenized securities). Only the last category is considered a security, requiring registration or exemption under federal securities laws.
The guidelines, published as an interpretive rule in the Federal Register, replace the 2019 "investment contract" analysis framework from the Gensler era. They provide two clear paths for tokens to shed their securities status: if the issuer completes its core management tasks, the investment contract ends, allowing tokens to trade freely as non-securities in secondary markets; or if the issuer abandons the project or remains inactive for an extended period, the investment contract also terminates. Additionally, the guidelines clarify that airdrops, mining, and staking generally do not constitute securities transactions, and the wrapping or unwrapping of assets does not alter their securities status.
Alex Thorn, Head of Research at Galaxy Research, noted that these guidelines mark the end of the Gensler era's adversarial regulatory stance towards the crypto industry, providing significant clarity for institutional entry. However, he cautioned that interpretive rules lack legal binding power and can be overturned by a new administration, highlighting the industry's ongoing push for the CLARITY Act legislation.#SEC #CFTC #DigitalAssets #CryptoRegulation #TokenClassification #Stablecoins #DigitalSecurities #Blockchain #Cryptocurrency #CryptoGuidelines #BTC #ETH
