Thai SEC calls for public feedback on crypto lending, staking ban<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The draft regulation forbidding virtual asset service providers (VASPs) from offering or getting engaged in any kind of crypto staking and lending activities was made public on March 8 by Thailand's SEC, who made the official announcement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In accordance with SEC guidelines, VASPs shouldn't be permitted to use customers' deposits as collateral or offer lending services to protect investors in the event that the services are terminated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Also, because digital asset enterprises<\/a> are not already completely monitored, the proposed regulation is anticipated to further clarify the scope of supervision of those businesses, the SEC said, adding:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

\u201cThe proposed regulation aims to provide greater protection to investors, reduce associated risks, and prevent a misunderstanding that deposit taking and lending services are under the same supervision as regulated digital asset businesses.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

The securities regulator stated in the release that the SEC held a public hearing on the fundamentals of the proposed regulation in September and October 2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In essence, the proposed legislation would forbid VASPs from engaging in activities including receiving user deposits for lending, staking, and any other use of such assets, paying interest on crypto holdings<\/a>, and advertising any such services.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

By April 7, 2023, the authority is asking interested parties and stakeholders to submit their comments and ideas via email or the SEC website.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The news is released as Thailand's SEC strengthens its cryptocurrency regulations in response to the current issue facing the cryptocurrency lending sector.\r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n <\/g>\r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n <\/clipPath>\r\n <\/defs><\/svg><\/span><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The ongoing crypto bear market has caused substantial liquidity problems for a large number of key sector lenders, including Voyager Digital, Celsius Network, Genesis Global, Babel Finance, and Hodlnaut.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a result, some companies have been forced to reorganize or liquidate their operations. The United States' SEC is suing Gemini, a significant cryptocurrency exchange founded by Tyler and Cameron Winklevoss, for alleged violations in its “Earn” program, which was created to provide investors with annual earnings of up to 8.05%.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
