Thailand’s Parliament Picked a Pro-Crypto Prime Minister

The government of Thailand voted in favor of Srettha Thavisin (candidate of the Pheu Thai Party) to become the country’s next Prime Minister. The 61-year-old has interacted with the cryptocurrency industry since the company he was in charge of was an active investor in the digital asset investment management firm XSpring Capital.

Thailand has been quite hesitant regarding how to approach the sector over the years., which could change under the rule of the new leader.
