Recently, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has conducted investigations and found that Bybit .com (https://www. bybit .com), 1000x .live (https://www. 1000x.live), CoinEx (https://www.coinex.com/), OKX (www.okx. com/th), and XT.COM (www.xt.com) had provided services of digital asset trading platforms without license. The SEC therefore filed criminal complaints with the Economic Crime Suppression Division of the Royal Thai Police for offenses liable to be unlicensed digital asset business operations under the Emergency Decree on Digital Asset Businesses B.E. 2561 (2018) to pursue legal action. 

To safeguard investors and prevent unlicensed digital asset trading platforms from being exploited as channels for money laundering, in line with the intent of the Royal Decree on Measures for the Prevention and Suppression of Technological Crimes (No. 2) B.E. 2568 (2025), the SEC has reported these platforms to the MDES. The MDES will restrict public access to them starting 28 June 2025.   

In this regard, the SEC advises investors currently using these platforms to take steps to secure their assets before the access restriction takes effect. 

The SEC advises the public and investors to be cautious when using services of unlicensed digital asset business operators; otherwise, they will not be legally protected and will be at risk of being scammed, as well as facing money laundering risks. The list of licensed business operators is available at https://www.sec.or.th and the SEC Check First application. Additionally, the names of persons who are not regulated business operators under the SEC’s supervision can be verified on the Investor Alert List via this link:  https://market.sec.or.th/public/idisc/en/InvestorAlert 

Furthermore, to report any leads concerning suspicious activities, please contact the SEC Complaint Center via Hotline 1207, or the SEC Facebook page: “สำนักงาน กลต.” or the SEC Live Chat on the SEC website, for further in-depth investigation.
