Ms. Nopnuanparn Pavasant​, Assistant Secretary-General (Financial Innovation and Digital Technology), the Securities and Exchange Commission, Thailand (SEC), participated in a panel discussion titled “Charting the Course: The Future of Digital Assets in Asia” to exchange views on digital asset developments in Asia from a regulatory perspective, including the development of regulatory frameworks and their impact on markets in the region. The panel discussion took place during the Digital Assets and Web3 Forum at Hong Kong FinTech Week x StartmeupHK 2026, held on 3 November 2026 at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre (HKCEC), Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, the People’s Republic of China.

During the panel discussion, Ms. Nopnuanparn discussed the SEC’s role in developing the Thai capital market to support the digital economy, while regulating the digital asset market to ensure its market integrity and credibility. This included promoting tokenization by leveraging technology to support fundraising and enhance the efficiency of the Thai capital market, as well as revising relevant regulations to accommodate securities tokenization. She also emphasized the importance of interoperability in enhancing efficiency and connectivity between markets.

In addition, the SEC prioritizes strengthening digital asset supervision through the use of data and technology, while strengthening coordination with relevant authorities to prevent money laundering, scams, and cybercrime. The SEC also promotes greater connectivity between the Thai capital market and international markets by supporting the development of common standards and interoperability, both within ASEAN and between Thailand and Hong Kong, to expand opportunities for cross-border linkages of investment products and capital flows.
