Given the vast experience of the company in the financial sector, consumers will have more confidence in Cryptocurrencies. The move is a major boost to the Crypto market in the country and beyond.
Given that Superrich is a financial institution, it will also have to wait for an approval from the Bank of Thailand. Most of the other companies applying to provide Cryptocurrency services in the country do not have to contact the central bank, as they do not fall under its jurisdiction. If Superrich will be successful in getting the approval, it will be the first company in the country to provide Cryptocurrency exchange services for foreign currency.
