Thailand's Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has amended its digital asset regulations to permit the offering, trading, and provision of services related to tokenized environmental commodities by licensed digital asset exchanges, brokers, and dealers. This regulatory development is aimed at facilitating Thailand's green economy and net-zero goals while diversifying the products available in the regulated digital assets market.

The environmental commodities currently being traded on certain market platforms and via over-the-counter channels include:

  • Carbon credits: Tradable certificates representing a reduction of CO₂ emitted into the atmosphere.
  • Renewable energy certificates (RECs): Tradable proof of electricity generated from renewable energy sources.
