Thailand's Bitcoin ETF Rules Take Effect Oct. 16 With 80% Exposure Floor

  • —Thailand's Bitcoin ETF rules take effect on Oct. 16, 2026
  • —Qualifying funds must hold at least 80% average net Bitcoin exposure
  • —Measurement period and treatment of derivatives are not yet confirmed
  • —Thailand's SEC previously issued draft rules for spot BTC and ETH ETFs
Why it matters: The 80% floor limits managers' tactical flexibility and sets a precedent for other Asian regulators legalizing crypto ETFs.
