Finance Minister Pichai Chunhavajira announced the initiative following cabinet approval, according to a Bloomberg report.While serving as a fundraising mechanism under the current budget plan, the G-Token will function as an investment token rather than a debt instrument, clarified Public Debt Management Office director-general Patchara Anuntasilpa.Minister Pichai emphasized the potential for higher returns compared to traditional bank deposits, stating, "Investors can invest with a small amount of cash for the new tokens... Investors will earn higher return than banks’ deposits."The initial $150 million issuance is designed as a pilot to "test the market" for this new type of digital investment offering, which the Finance Minister assured meets the central bank's requirements.Thailand Fast-Tracks New Digital Regulations, Intensifying Scrutiny on Crypto BusinessesThe Thai SEC’s enhanced oversight, coupled with the requirements for foreign businesses, suggests a desire to create a more regulated and transparent digital asset ecosystem within the country.BlockheadBlockheadStay ahead of the curve.
