Thailand SEC Proposes $150K Daily Cap on Stablecoin Transfers, Who Is Exempted? - Coinpedia

Thailand's Securities and Exchange Commission has proposed a daily cap of roughly $150,000 on stablecoin transfers, according to Coinpedia. The draft rule would limit how much value can move through regulated stablecoin channels in a single day, a structure that echoes payment-integrity controls used in traditional finance rather than an outright ban on the asset class.

The proposal also includes exemptions, meaning some categories of users or transaction types would not be bound by the same ceiling. That distinction matters: it suggests regulators are targeting retail-scale flows while preserving room for institutional, custody, or settlement-related activity that depends on larger transfers.

For market participants, the key question is where the line falls between capped and exempt activity, and how compliance would be enforced at the exchange or wallet level. If adopted, the framework could shape how stablecoins are used for payments and remittances in Thailand, and may serve as a reference point for other jurisdictions weighing similar transfer limits.
