Thailand Digital Asset Leadership Forum Road to SEABW 2026 by APE X CRYPTO , SEABW, Thai Digital Asset Association, Block Mountain
A curated forum bringing together regulators, policy voices, capital markets leaders, institutional operators, founders, and serious Web3 builders ahead of SEABW.
The focus is on high quality conversations around Thailand’s digital asset future, including regulation, tokenization, THB stablecoins, digital asset education, and Thailand’s path toward becoming a stronger digital asset hub.
Why this forum was created
Thailand has already made meaningful progress across ICO portals, exchange, broker, and dealer licenses, RWA tokenization, the THB stablecoin sandbox, Tourist Digipay, and a 5 year crypto capital gains tax exemption. At the same time, leading universities in Thailand have begun integrating blockchain and digital assets into formal curricula.
Despite this progress, much of Thailand’s digital asset development remains underappreciated by international audiences.
This forum was created to help close that gap by bringing together key stakeholders and presenting a clearer picture of Thailand’s regulatory progress, market development, and long term opportunity. It is intended to give global companies, investors, and builders a more informed view of Thailand as a market for serious engagement and regional expansion.
