BANGKOK, Jan 25 (Reuters): Thailand plans to ban digital asset operators from facilitating use of crypto as a means of payment for goods and services, its central bank and market regulator said on Tuesday, in a bid to limit risks.

Digital asset business operators have expanded their businesses to cover services related to the use of digital assets as payments, which may result in a wider adoption of such activity, they said in a joint statement https://www.bot.or.th/English/AboutBOT/Activities/Pages/JointPress_25012022.aspx.
