Thai Finance Minister: may consider linking cryptocurrency to certain services such as purchasing goods and credit cards

According to the Bangkok Post, Thai Finance Minister Pichai Chunhavajira stated in a keynote speech at an investment seminar that in some countries, cryptocurrencies are allowed to be used to purchase goods, while in others, cryptocurrencies are linked to credit cards. The credit card company then exchanges cryptocurrency through platforms such as Bitcoin exchanges, while the seller receives local currency. However, Thailand currently does not allow this practice. However, he stated that he may consider linking cryptocurrencies to certain services, but under strict conditions.
