About BANGKOK BLOCKCHAIN CONFERENCE

Thailand has emerged as one of the most interesting development hub for cryptocurrencies and blockchain in Southeast Asia in 2018. While the world is yet to decide the category for cryptocurrencies and digital asset, the Thai government has welcomed the cryptocurrency projects and exchanges. The University of the Thai Chamber of Commerce (UTCC) recently forecast that the total value of the country’s digital economy will reach 3.15 trillion baht in 2018, up 24.6% year-on-year. This shows that the nation is strategically positioned to become Southeast Asia’s next blockchain hub after Singapore.

Why Thailand?
1 According to the UTCC, the value of Thailand’s digital economy is projected to be worth more than 3 trillion baht in 2018, a 25% increase from 2017, signaling that the nation is strategically positioned to be Southeast Asia’s next blockchain hub after Singapore. Over the past 2 to 3 years, Thailand has been home to remarkable progress in blockchain application — from logistics to banking to digital identity projects. We have identified 4 blockchain projects in Thailand that we believe are valuable use cases for other blockchain players in Southeast Asia.
2.The Bank of Thailand (BoT) has recently allowed local banks to set up subsidiaries for dealing with cryptocurrencies, local Thai source Blognone.
3. Speculation has increased as the Bank of Thailand announced plans to launch its own crypto-currency by the first quarter of 2019, as reported in Asia Times, while insiders are increasingly predicting new liberalization measures will follow.
4. Thai SEC creating a crypto-currency exchange license, crypto-currency broker license and a crypto-currency dealer license.
