The Thai prime minister has ordered stricter regulations on gold trading and digital assets in an effort to combat "grey money."

PANews reported on January 13th that, according to The Nation Thailand, Thai Prime Minister Anutin Charnvirakul has officially launched a comprehensive campaign against "grey money" and illicit financial flows, ordering stricter regulations on gold trading and digital assets. In the digital asset sector, the government will strictly enforce the "Travel Rule," requiring the identification of senders and receivers in all wallet-to-wallet transfers to eliminate anonymity. Furthermore, Thailand will establish a national data bureau (DataBureau) to centrally manage financial data, enabling regulators to track suspicious transactions in real time.
