NEM Thailand at Beyond Blocks Summit Bangkok 2018

Panel on the Thai Regulatory Space with representatives from SEC, SET, and Bank of Thailand

One of the highlights (for the Thai-based crowd, anyway) was to hear the opinions of especially the SET, (Stock Exchange of Thailand) and BOT (Bank of Thailand) and the technical advisor to the SEC (Securities and Exchange Commission) opine about STO’s, the Thailand ICO space and upcoming licence issuances. Theoretically, STO’s *are* possible in Thailand, they just need to follow existing securities laws, but this may and will probably change early next year. The speculation around this new asset class was the buzz of the conference.

For NEM, we always like to promote projects building on our platform and our ecosystem partners. NEM Thailand had the distinct pleasure to take KIDLetCoin CEO and Co-Founder Kaede Takenaka (NEM Thailand Country Lead’s 10-year-old daughter) to the conference on the second day so that NEM’s youngest project CEO could understand what a blockchain conference was like. She was able to network, speak to VC fund managers and was interviewed more than once on camera. At NEM, we are especially committed to education — and what better way to learn than hands-on experience!
