Thailand Initiates Crackdown on Illicit Funds and Tightens Digital Asset Regulations

According to BlockBeats, on January 13, Thai Prime Minister Anutin Charnvirakul has launched a comprehensive campaign against 'grey funds' and illegal financial flows, ordering stricter regulations on gold trading and digital assets. In the digital asset sector, the government will rigorously enforce the 'Travel Rule,' mandating identification of both sender and receiver in all wallet-to-wallet transfers to eliminate anonymity. Additionally, Thailand plans to establish a National Data Bureau to centralize financial data management, enabling regulatory bodies to track suspicious transactions in real-time.
