Thailand to Issue $150M in Digital Tokens

Thailand’s Ministry of Finance is poised to introduce $150 million in digital investment tokens, advancing financial inclusivity for retail investors.

During a May 13 press briefing, Finance Minister Pichai Chunhavajira confirmed that the initiative will enable the public to purchase government bonds using blockchain-based tokens—a first for the nation.

Recently endorsed by Thailand’s cabinet, these digital tokens, known as “G-tokens,” are set to launch within the next two months.

Patchara Anuntasilpa, director-general of the Public Debt Management Office, noted that these tokens are not traditional debt instruments but are part of the nation’s budget borrowing strategy.
