This would mean that through a self-assessment tool, investors can, on their own, determine how well-trained they are regarding digital assets and blockchain.
Thai Government’s Stance on Digital Assets
The Thai Ministry of Finance said in August 2022 that crypto regulations should be implemented immediately. The Ministry concerned also embarked upon the need for tightening the regulations.
The crypto market has proven to be very risky and dangerous for investors, especially novice cryptocurrency users/investors.
Even the Secretary General of the SEC had insisted that strict oversight should be implemented. He stressed that the ‘unruly’ nature of volatility in overall markets of digital assets should not be underestimated.
The academy is now online for the past week and already thousands of individuals have signed up for availing the courses.
The Thai Government is hopeful that the academy will be highly beneficial for interested individuals. The individuals will learn so much from the content offered through the “Crypto Academy” offered by the government.
They will learn a lot about cryptocurrency projects. They will be able to learn a lot about the nature of the projects and the schemes being offered in Thailand.
This way, they will never fall prey to any kind of schemes and projects being launched only for the purpose of stealing funds.
