What does Thailand's new crypto funding rule propose?

It requires SEC approval for anyone financially backing major shareholders in crypto firms, direct or indirect, to block dirty money.

If you're funding a big holder, expect scrutiny. Legit sources only — no offshore mysteries.

Compared to Korea's stake caps? On par. But it might push innovation elsewhere.
