APAC DAO Ecosystem Spotlights: Thailand goes full-stack: crypto ETFs, derivatives, and a 5-year tax holiday
Thailand’s SEC is finalizing crypto ETF rules, futures trading on TFEX, and a tokenization sandbox with the Bank of Thailand – all targeting early 2026. Thailand has also waived capital gains tax on crypto sold through licensed exchanges until 31 December 2029, while tightening foreign-operator licensing to close cross-border gray zones.
The Vietnam–Thailand contrast is sharpening fast: Vietnam is opening the regulated market, Thailand is layering the products on top. Different doors, different timelines — but the same builders we’ll be coaching through both at the upcoming Aspire Bootcamp.
