Thailand is preparing to issue $150 million in digital investment tokens, opening up access to government bonds for everyday citizens through blockchain technology.
The initiative, led by Finance Minister Pichai Chunhavajira and approved by the cabinet, is expected to go live within two months.
Branded as “G-tokens,” the assets will allow individuals to invest with as little as $3—far lower than traditional entry points in Thailand’s bond market, which has typically favored institutions and high-net-worth investors. The tokens, while not technically debt instruments, will support government fundraising goals under the national budget.
Officials say the returns will outpace current bank deposit rates, which remain below 1.5%, though exact yields were not disclosed. The tokens will be tradable on regulated Thai exchanges but restricted to local citizens.
This push toward financial inclusion follows broader trends in tokenized finance, with Thailand’s securities watchdog also developing a blockchain-based trading platform for institutional investors. Unlike cryptocurrencies, these government-issued tokens are designed for stability, offering a controlled on-ramp to the digital economy.
