According to Cointelegraph, the Thai Securities and Exchange Commission (Thai SEC) has proposed to include the funding providers behind the major shareholders of cryptocurrency businesses in the regulatory approval scope. Regardless of whether the support is provided directly or indirectly, they must undergo the same regulatory scrutiny as the shareholders.

The proposal aims to curb hidden capital flows and prevent illegal funds from infiltrating cryptocurrency enterprises. The same rules apply to behaviors that provide funding support indirectly through equity acquisitions. The Thai SEC stated that "significant funding support" includes guarantees, contractual arrangements, or any investment instruments that effectively grant the fund provider the status of an investor; if the major shareholder is a government-related agency, only the entity-level shareholding situation will be reviewed.
