Thailand SEC Proposes $151K Daily Cap on Stablecoin Transfers

According to BlockchainReporter, Thailand’s Securities and Exchange Commission has initiated consultations on new stablecoin regulations. The proposal features a daily one-way transfer limit of approximately $151,000 per person to tighten digital-asset payment oversight. According to the reporting, the measures aim to ensure deposits and withdrawals occur strictly through verified accounts, mitigating financial risks such as cybercrime and money laundering.

Exemptions from the cap apply to transfers between regulated operators that comply with the Travel Rule. This carve-out permits institutional and compliant-to-compliant transactions to proceed without the daily restriction, whereas retail and unverified flows encounter heightened scrutiny. The consultation forms part of an international trend of stricter regulatory oversight concerning stablecoin transactions.

As highlighted by BlockchainReporter, the SEC is gathering feedback prior to finalizing the framework. The regulatory direction builds upon Thailand's prior licensing requirements and warnings regarding unregulated platforms, extending oversight to payment rails utilized for remittances and everyday transactions.
