It is worth knowing that over the last couple of months, Thailand has witnessed a massive leg-down of retail investors in cryptocurrency. Over half the number of holders in January sold off their holding before July. According to a report, the number of holders in January was 692,000. Meanwhile, in July, the number had dropped to 262,000. The meltdown happened simultaneously with the market in decline.

The SEC branch in Thailand calculated trading volume had fallen to 54 billion baht, the lowest ever seen since January 2021. This development negatively impacted investors as well as some companies in the country.

Retailers who continued following up on market conditions over the last two months are raising their concerns about what is next for them. Also, the uprising level of volatility in the market is alarming to investors who are finding it uneasy to decide on its moves. Hence, the government and the agencies responsible for regulating virtual currencies are working earnestly to create structures that will facilitate easy trading. 

World leading companies are turning their attention to cryptocurrency. And this could lead to an impending surge in asset prices later. Bitcoin seems to be proving its potential as a commodity worth betting money on by the way it is constantly alluring investors like Elon Musk, Sarath Ratanavadi, and many more.
