Thailand's SEC and AMLO probe crypto exchanges over online gambling links

  • —SEC and AMLO are tracing transfers between gambling-site wallets and Thai crypto firms
  • —Review covers KYC, CDD, suspicious transaction reporting (STR) and risk management
  • —Travel Rule rules are being drafted, including wallet-address analytics tools
  • —No crypto operator has been confirmed in violation so far
Why it matters: Tighter scrutiny in Thailand raises compliance costs for local exchanges and could curb inflows linked to the gambling sector.
