Thailand SEC Finalizes Crypto Travel Rule, Effective February 2027

The Securities and Exchange Commission of Thailand has finalized its crypto Travel Rule, which will take effect on February 27, 2027. Digital asset operators are required to identify senders and receivers for every transaction, implement risk policies, and retain records for at least five years. A key challenge involves verifying user control over self-custody wallets. The regulation aims to align Thailand with FATF standards to combat money laundering and terrorist financing.
