Thai regulators are sharpening measures against digital asset mule accounts, restricting foreign crypto P2P platforms and imposing penalties of up to $8,700.
Thailand is beefing up measures to combat online crimes involving digital assets by passing new amendments to several national laws.
Thailand’s cabinet on April 8 passed a resolution approving amendments to emergency decrees on digital asset businesses and on measures for cybercrime prevention, the Thai Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) announced.
As part of the new laws, Thai regulators aim to strengthen measures for combating digital asset mule accounts in banks, restrict foreign cryptocurrency peer-to-peer (P2P) platforms and introduce strict financial penalties of as much as $8,700 and imprisonment of up to three years.
