According to The Nation, the Bank of Thailand (BOT) plans to further crack down on “gray funds” and illegal fund flows in the fourth quarter, requiring individuals to formally declare and verify the source of funds when depositing cash of 5 million Thai baht (about $150k USD) or more. In the digital asset space, the BOT is working with the Thailand SEC to use data analytics to review high-value stablecoin transactions, with a focus on USDT. Regulators said that some transactions may transfer funds by concealing the actual owners or bypassing domestic remittance channels, and that the relevant investigation findings have been submitted to the Thailand SEC for further regulatory and enforcement actions.

USDT has once again come under scrutiny, and this year’s Southeast Asian regulation is in full “amped up” mode—on-chain analysis tools are probably going to sell out like crazy.

For $150k, they’ll check the source—this threshold is actually quite friendly to retail investors; it’s the big players who would be panicking.
