Thai Government to Issue $150M in G-Tokens for Retail Investors

Thailand’s Ministry of Finance is preparing to issue a brand-new digital asset called G-Token, with a total value of THB 5 billion (~$150 million). The launch is expected within two months, contingent on Cabinet approval.
While part of a government loan initiative, G-Token is not considered a debt obligation—and will specifically target retail investors.

Purpose of the G-Token Issuance
The G-Token launch is all about giving everyday investors a shot at something bigger: access to the state’s investment programs, even with minimal capital.
“Investors can invest with a small amount of cash for the new tokens,” said Finance Minister Pichai Chunhavajira.
The Finance Ministry has stated that G-Token will offer returns above the prevailing 1.25–1.5% benchmark for bank deposits.
By not designating it as a debt instrument, the government creates a middle ground—giving portfolio investors exposure to public-sector funding without the direct credit risk typically associated with sovereign bonds.

G-Token: Lowering the Entry Barrier to Digital Finance
Thailand’s Ministry of Finance is using the G-Token framework to expand digital investment to the broader population.
- Minimum buy-in starts at $3—low enough to attract first-time investors,
- Tokens will be listed on licensed digital exchanges accessible only to Thai citizens,
- All investor wallets will meet custody requirements enforced by the central bank.
The initial $150 million launch serves as both signal and experiment—a measured test of market appetite for this financial innovation.

Strategic Context for Thailand’s Digital Asset Plans
The introduction of investment tokens aligns with Thailand’s broader fintech reforms:
- In early 2025, former Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra proposed using bond-backed stablecoins as a tool for economic modernization.
- That same month, the Thai SEC announced a new trading infrastructure for tokenized securities targeting institutional capital.
Thailand’s move to embrace digital finance aligns with a wider regional momentum, as countries like Japan and Malaysia accelerate the shift toward tokenized financial markets.
