This is a question we are all pondering. While the crypto movement is getting all this pleasant attention, why would Thai ban some?

Here’s why;

Thailand has had a very complicated relationship with crypto. The SEC has since withdrawn their proposals that imposed about $33,000 yearly minimum income for crypto investment in the country.

Crypto players in Thailand lamented the standard set would hinder low to medium-income earners from crypto investments.

Clarifying the matter, Thai SEC secretary General Ruenvadee Suwanmongkol said that he proposed the criteria to prompt people to express their opinions, which they did. Still, he did not intend to classify these as the exact qualifications.

Now with the new directives, the SEC has banned all utility tokens that;

Have no clear objectives and whose prices are easily influenced by social media and influencers
Assets that are issued by digital asset exchanges
Any digital creation tokenized to declare ownership or grant rights to an object

The new regulations are set to harm the famous meme-based token Dogecoin, which started out as a joke and is currently causing a frenzy on the crypto market. Likewise, Bitkub Coin and tokenized art/collectables have been kicked to the curb.
