**BANGKOK, Oct. 31, 2026** — Thailand’s Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC)
is seeking public comments on draft rules that would allow digital assets to serve
as underlying assets for derivatives.

The proposals cover licensing requirements for derivatives exchanges, clearing houses
and intermediary businesses. They would allow digital asset business operators to
apply for derivatives licenses without setting up new companies, bringing the businesses
under a unified regulatory framework.

The SEC has prepared eight draft notifications. They include changes to licensing
criteria and revised financial reporting standards for derivatives exchanges and
clearing houses, intended to strengthen oversight of market infrastructure.

The proposals follow a public hearing held from April to May 2026. The SEC said 
most stakeholders supported the principles and submitted additional suggestions.
