The Securities and Exchange Commission of Thailand recently filed criminal charges with the Department of Anti-Corruption, involving five individuals who were prosecuted for engaging in digital asset trading without a license. It is reported that these individuals promoted their services on Thai social media and offered buying, selling, and exchange services for Worldcoin (WLD) to the public.

This case once again highlights Southeast Asia's strict attitude towards the regulation of digital asset trading. Whether individuals or institutions, engaging in cryptocurrency trading services must obtain the relevant regulatory licenses. This enforcement action indicates that regulators are intensifying efforts to crack down on illegal trading activities, especially those involving unlicensed operations through social media channels.

For investors, trading with unlicensed platforms or individuals carries significant risks. It is recommended that users choose licensed exchanges for digital asset operations to protect their assets.

Thailand is starting to crack down on the black market again, this time targeting WLD... But to be honest, social media selling coins should be regulated anyway.

Another wave of unlicensed individuals being caught. Playing with harvesting profits on social media is really not sustainable.

Haha, Thailand is causing trouble again. Social media wild soldiers really should be regulated. --- WLD is also quite unfortunate, caught up in this kind of situation. --- So, if you don't have a license, don't do it. It's really not worth it. --- Regulations in Southeast Asia are getting stricter, and in the future, it's even more important to use legitimate platforms. --- This kind of underground operator should have been caught long ago. How many retail investors have been harmed? --- Trading without a license and still shouting on social media, they really have guts. --- Have another wave of people learned to be smart? Regulators have zero tolerance for this. --- Alright, playing by the rules and going legit is the way to go.

Here it comes again, social media selling coins with pinpoint accuracy... --- Thailand has taken action, and this crackdown is quite harsh. --- To put it simply, don't be greedy for small profits and buy coins from strangers. It's such a simple principle. --- Southeast Asia is indeed tightening its regulations more and more. Operating without a license is asking for death. --- Five people have been prosecuted for WLD. That's a lesson that runs deep, right? --- A legitimate exchange, no matter how expensive, is better than getting scammed. Don't skimp on this money. --- It's always social media recruiting people, and every time they get caught... can't you learn? --- Regulation is actually a good thing; it clears out the scammers.
