SEC seeks public comments on proposed amendments to the regulations governing the Disciplinary Committee for Digital Asset Businesses



Friday 9 October 2026 | No. 220 / 2026


Bangkok, 9 October 2026 – The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) is seeking public comments on proposed principles for amending the regulations governing the Disciplinary Committee for Digital Asset Businesses (Disciplinary Committee). The proposed amendments aim to enhance clarity and align the regulations with those governing other panels of qualified experts responsible for providing opinions to the SEC, taking into account credibility, transparency, and operational efficiency.

The SEC Board, at its meeting in October 2026, approved the proposed principles for amending the regulations governing the Disciplinary Committee. The proposed amendments would repeal the provisions establishing the Disciplinary Committee under Notification No. Kor Lor Thor. 18/2561* and establish an advisory panel mechanism at the SEC Office level to align the regulations with those governing other panels of qualified experts responsible for providing advisory opinions to support the SEC’s consideration. The proposal takes into account credibility, transparency, and operational efficiency, while maintaining a clear division of roles between the SEC Office’s consideration and issuance of orders at the initial stage and the SEC Board’s authority at the appeal stage.

The SEC is therefore seeking public comments on the proposed principles. The consultation paper is available on the SEC website at https://www.sec.or.th/TH/Pages/PB_Detail.aspx?SECID=1228 and on the Legal Hub at https://law.go.th/. Stakeholders and interested parties may submit comments via the websites or by email to pinyapat@sec.or.th and visuth@sec.or.th until 16 October 2026. This timeframe is intended to enable the new consideration approach to be applied to matters currently in process in a timely manner and to ensure continuity and efficiency in operations.
