Thailand's Capital Market Supervisory Board has approved new regulatory frameworks to support the issuance of Transition Bonds and Thailand Amber Bonds, alongside plans to introduce Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) by the third quarter of this year. The initiative is designed to expand funding channels for climate transition while enhancing investment options, with safeguards in place to ensure appropriate levels of investor protection. The regulator will also tighten disclosure standards across all sustainability-linked bonds to improve transparency and market credibility. In parallel, the SEC is advancing frameworks for tokenised securities and digital asset-linked products, including Bitcoin ETFs and crypto-related bonds. Key proposed amendments include two main components, including the expanded definition of major shareholders.
