- Operators must have prescribed risk management measures relating to the transfer or receipt of digital assets. These include collecting transferor and transferee information to accompany digital asset transfers received from an Ordering Digital Asset Operator or from a customer.
Upgrading digital asset transactions
The introduction of the Travel Rule for Digital Assets is intended to enhance the ability to trace the financial routes of digital asset transactions, and to examine, prevent and intercept technology-related crime effectively.
It is also intended to prevent the risk of digital asset business operators being used as channels for money laundering and terrorist financing, without placing an undue burden on operators.
It also raises anti-money laundering measures in line with international standards, strengthening confidence in Thailand’s digital asset market and increasing the competitiveness of Thailand’s digital asset ecosystem overall.
