Thailand’s Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has officially recognized four cryptocurrency trading pairs to be used on domestic exchanges and through fiat brokers.
The legitimized coins include Bitcoin, Ethereum, Ripple, and Stellar Lumens.
The originally proposed list of cryptocurrencies being looked at by the SEC also included Bitcoin Cash, Ethereum Classic, and Litecoin.
According to lawyers in Thailand, Although these coins can now be traded, cryptocurrencies are still not allowed to be used in Thailand to settle debts or make payments.

As of now, only one fiat broker has been accepted to operate in Thailand, as well as only three crypto exchanges.
