In this rapidly evolving cryptocurrency landscape, Thailand is taking a significant step to become a crypto hub. Recently, on February 7, 2024, according to local media, the finance minister announced the exemption of Value-added Tax (VAT) on cryptocurrency trading. However, the VAT exemption for digital assets is aimed at moving Thailand toward becoming a global crypto hub. Will Thailand become a global Crypto hub? 
Several countries, including the UK, Singapore, UAE, and Hong Kong, are also in the race to become <a href="https://news.todayq.com/uk-tightens-grip-on-crypto-crime-to-emerge-as-europes-crypto-hub/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">global crypto hubs</a> and attract crypto businesses. However, none of these countries have offered such an impressive incentive to attract businesses.
In local media,Paopoom Rojanasakul, the secretary of the finance minister, highlighted that the Thailand Ministry wants to promote digital assets as a new tool for fundraising and attracting businesses. The ministry, along with government authorities, believes that the VAT exemption will support the growth of digital assets in Thailand and contribute to the country’s economy.

In addition to this, the government of Thailand has also suspended the requirement of a 7% VAT on income derived from crypto trading. The aim of exempting VAT and trading VAT is to become a global crypto hub. However, all these benefits that government officials are offering have been effective since January 1, 2024, with no expiry date.
Since May 14, 2023, the transfer of digital asset tokens to a third party is still not subject to VAT. However, the VAT exemption on digital asset trading is only for authorized cryptocurrency exchanges, including brokers and dealers under the supervision of the Security and Exchange Commission (SEC).
Currently, Thailand’s Ministry of Finance and the SEC are working together to change the 2019 Security and Exchange Act. With this change, digital investment tokens or cryptocurrency investments will be more like securities in Thailand. However, despite all these optimistic developments in Thailand, Paopoom suggested that the government should balance the development potential of the financial system with its stability.
Despite all these developments in Thailand, the overall cryptocurrency market is still struggling to gain momentum. Major cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, Binance, and others have only experienced a slight upside momentum in the last 24 hours.
