Bank of Thailand plans to regulate asset-backed stablecoins this year
The Bank of Thailand, or BoT, is upping its game on the stablecoin front. This week, the institution warned citizens that Thai Baht Digital (THT), a baht-pegged stablecoin issued by the South Korean firm Terra, has no legal assurances or protection and violates the country’s currency act.
