Thailand proposes to require: stablecoins may only be transferred to wallets already verified by the sender
Thailand’s SEC proposal: for stablecoin transfers conducted through licensed institutions, the funds may only be deposited into accounts or wallets that the user themselves has already verified, and cannot be transferred arbitrarily to other people’s addresses. The goal is to close the channel used for “superficially compliant, but in practice third-party payment/settlement and splitting transactions.”
For ordinary people, from now on, transferring $USDT through licensed local channels will feel more like bank remittances: you must verify your identity first, and then transfers are restricted to the counterparty. For dark-market third-party collection and “money laundering/runner” operations, this directly undermines the scheme. The proposal is not yet the final version, but the direction is clear—if stablecoins are to be treated as a payment tool, they must be regulated as a payment tool. Don’t wait until it’s implemented to ask, “why can’t I transfer it out.”
