The US SEC approved the Spot Bitcoin ETF earlier this year. It is considered an important milestone for the digital asset industry that opens doors for itfinancial institutionLarge and Traditional investors can allocate huge amounts of capital to the DA market.
Although digital assets are on the rise But it cannot be denied that DA risks have not disappeared. Volatility and uncertainty in the DA market remains high. There is also fraud, scams, and hacking.
Legal and regulatory ambiguity remains in many countries. which these endanger It will not only affect small investors. but it can also expand and affect the overall financial system
Good digital asset promotion policy There must be a balance between taking advantage of GOOD opportunities, but at the same time maintaining strong hedges. Of course, before arriving at the appropriate policy We need to have a detailed understanding of DA first.

Because of the numbers, the number of trading accounts is very similar. Between the number of securities trading accounts at 3.5 million and the number of digital asset trading accounts at 3 million.
Or from the questionnaire, it was found that 13.8 percent of digital asset investors first invest in digital assets without investing in any other traditional assets. In addition, the size of the DA market is still considered small. Compared to traditional capital market assets such as the gold, silver or stock markets.
Whether from a big country like the United States or even in Thailand itself The stock exchange has a trading value of about a trillion baht per month, while the trading value of digital assets is only about tens of billions of baht per month, so it is interesting that the DA market still has a lot of room to grow. .
