Thailand’s SEC Limits Stablecoin Transfers to $151K Daily - Cryptonews.net

Thailand’s Securities and Exchange Commission has introduced a daily transfer limit of approximately $151,000 for stablecoin transactions, according to reports. The cap applies to transfers rather than holdings, meaning users can still hold stablecoin balances above that threshold — the restriction governs how much can move within a single day.

The measure reflects a broader regulatory pattern in Thailand, where authorities have moved to bring digital assets under closer supervision while still permitting licensed activity. Stablecoins, which are typically pegged to fiat currencies such as the US dollar, sit at the intersection of crypto markets and traditional payments, making them a natural focus for transfer-level controls.

For market participants, the key question is scope: whether the limit applies per user, per transaction, or per platform, and how it interacts with existing licensing rules. Thailand has positioned itself as relatively open to digital assets, so the practical impact may depend on enforcement details rather than the headline figure alone. What to watch next is official guidance clarifying which transfers fall under the cap and whether similar thresholds extend to other token types.
