Thailand Tightens Stablecoin Monitoring, Targets High-Volume USDT Transactions

According to Bank of Thailand Governor Vitai Ratanakorn, the central bank and Securities and Exchange Commission are tightening oversight of stablecoin transactions as part of a campaign to combat money laundering and illicit finance. The initiative focuses on monitoring high-volume Tether (USDT) activity, with stricter reporting requirements for large cash movements. Cash deposits exceeding 5 million baht (approximately $150,000) will require full disclosure of fund sources. The measure follows an estimated $3.4 billion in fraud-related losses in Thailand during 2025. Although stablecoin payments for goods and services remain prohibited, cryptocurrency trading continues to be legal in Thailand.
