The Thai government plans to issue a THB 5 billion ($149 million) tokenized bond in Q3 2025, targeting retail investors. The bond will be issued on a new digital bonds issuance platform, allowing retail investors to participate without the need for collateral. This move is part of the government's efforts to raise funds from the domestic market and through external borrowing. Digital bonds enable the government to raise money more easily and cost-effectively by bypassing traditional intermediaries. The initiative awaits approval from the Bank of Thailand before proceeding.

Thailand plans to issue a THB 5 billion ($149 million) tokenized bond by the third quarter of this year, targeting retail investors. Thai Finance Minister Pichai Chunhavajira recently announced the new program, revealing that the bond will be issued on a new digital bonds issuance platform. The upcoming digital bond will be open to retail investors and require no collateral, with the minimum investment set at THB 1,000 ($30). Digital bonds allow the government to bypass traditional intermediaries like banks and brokers, making raising money easier, cost-effective, and more efficient.
Digital bonds are taking off globally, with Asia taking an early lead ahead of Europe. According to one January report, these tokenized bonds will be a $1 trillion market by 2028. Governments like Thailand’s, which are already experimenting with the technology, will be better suited to capitalize on this rise in the next few years, setting the pace globally and raking in billions of dollars in foreign portfolio investment. For now, the government awaits the approval of the Bank of Thailand (BOT) before proceeding with the digital bonds project.
