Thursday 5 November 2026 | No. 243 / 2026

Bangkok, 5 November 2026 – The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) urges investors to take action with respect to their assets held on the Vcex.io platform (website: www. vce x . i o) and the VCEX application, which are not licensed to operate digital asset businesses, prior to the blocking of platform access scheduled for 7 November 2026, in order to mitigate potential impacts following the system shutdown.

Pursuant to the Royal Decree on Measures for Preventing and Suppressing Technology Related Crimes (No. 2) B.E. 2568 (2025), which came into force on 13 April 2025, the Ministry of Digital Economy and Society (MDES) is empowered to order the blocking of access to unlicensed digital asset trading platforms. In this regard, on 7 October 2026, the SEC submitted information on Assure Technology Co., Ltd., the owner of the unlicensed VCEX platform available through the website https://www.vcex.io and the VCEX application webpage (https :// play. google.com/ store/apps/ details?id=com .chainup .exchange .Vcex), to the MDES*.

The MDES will proceed with blocking access to such platform on 7 November 2026, which will result in the public being unable to access it.

The SEC advises investors who use the aforementioned platform to consider withdrawing or transferring their assets from the platform before 7 November 2026 to protect their interests and prevent any potential impact that may arise following the blocking of the platform.

In addition, the SEC urges the public and investors to exercise caution when using the services of unlicensed digital asset businesses. The list of such operators is available in the Investor Alert section of the SEC’s website at https://market.sec.or.th/public/idisc/th/InvestorAlert. Furthermore, information on licensed business operators can be verified on the SEC’s website at www.sec.or.th and through the SEC Check First application.

If there are any tips or indications of suspicious activities, please report them to the SEC Complaint Center via Hotline 1207, the SEC official Facebook page, or the SEC Live Chat on the SEC website for further in-depth investigation.
