Former Thai Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra met with digital asset investors in Bangkok to discuss a proposal aimed at positioning Thailand as a regional hub for digital assets. The initiative includes the idea of a sovereign strategic reserve intended to boost the resilience of Thailand's financial system and economy. Supported by global firms such as Metaplanet and UTXO Management, the initiative aims to leverage Thailand's potential as ASEAN's Bitcoin Digital Asset Treasury hub. Despite being Southeast Asia’s second-largest economy, Thailand faces economic challenges, including weak growth and high household debt. The collaboration between international industry leaders and a prominent national figure like Shinawatra is believed to be crucial for achieving this vision. Additionally, Thailand's Ministry of Finance has engaged KuCoin as the first global exchange for its tokenized bond program, further solidifying its intentions in the digital asset space.
