Thailand SEC to Relax Crypto Investor Testing Rules


the Securities and Exchange Commission of Thailand proposed to amend the ICO regulatory rules, allowing non-institutional investors to take a knowledge test once and not have to repeat the test, replacing the current requirement of testing every three months. The new rules will require ICO portals to conduct suitability tests for all digital token investors, to be reviewed every two years, to ensure that investors' risk tolerance matches the product risk. This is aimed at reducing the burden on investors and aligning with existing securities regulation standards. The public can submit comments on the proposal before August 1st.
