Thailand vs Unregistered Crypto Companies 

In April of this year, the Thailand Securities and Exchange Commission, the Technology Crime Suppression Committee, and the Thai government collaboratively planned to restrict the access of those crypto companies that were unregistered in the jurisdiction of this country. 

The country’s enforcement agencies took this action to prohibit the involvement of bad actors in the crypto space & restrict misuse of cryptocurrencies.
