最新报道:Thailand's central bank has launched a regulatory sandbox for cryptocurrency payments in tourism, allowing limited crypto transactions for foreign visitors. The pilot program permits licensed digital asset operators to facilitate crypto payments at approved merchants in designated tourist zones. Transactions are capped at 200,000 baht ($5,500) per customer to mitigate risks. The initiative aims to boost tourism spending while maintaining financial stability, with strict AML/CFT measures in place. The sandbox will run until 2024, after which authorities will evaluate whether to expand the program nationwide. This move positions Thailand among Asia's crypto-friendly destinations alongside Singapore and Japan.
