2.000 stablecoin transactions totaling $150 million – The Bank of Thailand has sounded an alarm bell in its crackdown on the “gray economy.” BoT’s data analysis system has detected unusual trading patterns, mainly involving USDT and USDC, with a sudden spike during odd hours, coming from anonymous wallets and DEX.
All evidence has been handed over to Thailand’s SEC. Although stablecoins haven’t seen major price volatility due to their peg, market sentiment is clearly cautious. Legal experts believe this move could lead to even tighter controls, and possibly a ban on certain types of stablecoins if they are not transparent.
This is not just a Thailand issue. Other Southeast Asian countries are monitoring closely. Stablecoin flows—once considered a gray area—are now under the spotlight. Opportunities may arise, but legal risks are also very real. I think traders should stay on the defensive posture and manage risk tightly—never let a policy shift burn your account. Ongoing self-research and a clear understanding of the legal framework in the region where you trade are essential.
