Thailand Welcomes New Crypto Exchange Gulf Binance

In an era where crypto regulations are evolving, Binance and Gulf Energy’s joint venture, Gulf Binance Co., stands as a testament to the industry’s resilience and adaptability. The Thai Securities and Exchange Commission’s recent approval on November 10, 2023, marks a significant milestone for the collaboration, paving the way for the launch of a cryptocurrency exchange in Thailand early next year.

According to a recent filing, the leading global cryptocurrency exchange has strategically teamed up with Gulf Energy, led by the country’s second-richest individual, Sarath Ratanavadi. Meanwhile, despite facing increased regulatory scrutiny in various jurisdictions, Binance’s push for global expansion remains undeterred.

Notably, Gulf Energy’s significant financial backing, helmed by Ratanavadi’s net worth of approximately $11 billion, positions the joint venture for success in Thailand’s burgeoning digital landscape.
