Thailand's Securities and Exchange Commission has issued regulations for crypto custody providers to establish a digital wallet-management system to ensure the safety of customers' assets, according to a press release on Tuesday.

The regulations, which took effect on Monday, offer policies and guidelines for overseeing the management of digital wallets and keys plus procedures for designing digital wallets. The regulation also says custodians need to have a contingency plan in case an event occurs that could affect the management system of digital wallets and keys.
