Crypto exchange Binance told CryptoSlate it launched an “invitation-only” exchange in Thailand that would become available to the general public by next year, according to a Nov. 16 emailed statement. 
Gulf Energy Development Pcl, one of the largest businesses in the Asian country owned by billionaire Sarath Ratanavadi, said its subsidiary Gulf Innova partnered with Binance to launch Gulf Binance Co. 
On Nov. 10, the newly formed exchange obtained approval from the Thai Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) to offer digital asset exchange and broker services for cryptocurrencies and digital tokens. 
The filing <a href="https://weblink.set.or.th/dat/news/202311/1391NWS151120231838120570E.pdf">reads</a>: 
<blockquote> 
 “Gulf Binance’s digital asset platform will provide digital asset exchange and digital asset broker services for both cryptocurrencies and digital tokens, prioritizing security and compliance with SEC regulations.” 
</blockquote> 
Even before its official presence in the country, Binance has been <a href="https://cryptoslate.com/binance-assists-royal-thai-police-in-massive-crypto-scam-crackdown-leading-to-recovery-of-over-270m/">instrumental</a> in assisting Thai law enforcement agencies dismantle criminal networks engaged in crypto scams. The exchange efforts helped the authorities to arrest crypto criminals and confiscate assets worth more than $270 million.

Meanwhile, the recent development in Thailand continues Binance’s effort to solidify its Asian presence. 
This year, Binance <a href="https://cryptoslate.com/binance-reenters-japanese-market-with-new-platform-debuts-bnb-trading/">re-entered</a> the Japanese market and has since established itself as the <a href="https://cryptoslate.com/binance-japan-to-list-13-tokens-new-tokens-in-one-of-the-worlds-strictest-crypto-markets/">most diverse crypto platform</a> in the country, with plans to list more than 100 tokens. 
Additionally, Binance also <a href="https://cryptoslate.com/binance-expands-to-kazakhstan-amid-global-regulatory-hurdles/">launched</a> a regulated digital asset platform in Kazakhstan. 
Despite its success in Asia, the firm has <a href="https://cryptoslate.com/binances-european-exodus-continues-as-exchange-withdraws-critical-license-application-in-germany/">struggled </a>to obtain local licenses in regions like the <a href="https://cryptoslate.com/binances-uk-subsidiary-withdraws-fca-registration-as-european-exodus-continues/">U</a>nited <a href="https://cryptoslate.com/binances-uk-subsidiary-withdraws-fca-registration-as-european-exodus-continues/">Kingdom</a> and several European countries, including the &nbsp;<a href="https://cryptoslate.com/binance-withdraws-from-netherlands-following-vasp-license-snub/">Netherlands</a>, <a href="https://cryptoslate.com/binance-exits-cyprus-to-focus-on-larger-eu-markets-amid-regulatory-hurdles/">Cyprus</a>, and <a href="https://cryptoslate.com/binance-loses-euro-payment-partner-denied-licensing-in-germany/">Germany</a>. 
In the United States, the exchange faces legal battles against multiple federal agencies, including the Securities and Exchange Commission (<a href="https://cryptoslate.com/sec-pushes-for-court-order-against-binance-us-amid-uncooperative-stance/">SEC</a>) and the&nbsp;Commodity Futures Trading Commission (<a href="https://cryptoslate.com/cftc-sues-binance-over-alleged-breaking-of-trading-and-derivatives-rules/">CFTC</a>), who allege that it violated federal laws.
