Thailand SEC Files Criminal Complaint Against Bitget, Sets Dec. 5 Access Block

According to Thailand's Securities and Exchange Commission statement No. 241/2026, the regulator filed a criminal complaint Thursday against BG Limited, operator of crypto exchange Bitget, for unlicensed trading from 2022 to 2025. The complaint also named promoter Kritsana Kritsananuwat for marketing Bitget via Facebook and YouTube. Bitget allegedly charged trading fees, operated a Thai-language website displaying baht values, and solicited Thai users through social channels including Bitget Thailand on X, BGB Thai Holder on Telegram, and bitgetthailand on TikTok.

The SEC submitted Bitget's website, domains, and app to Thailand's Ministry of Digital Economy and Society for access blocking under a 2025 royal decree targeting unlicensed platforms. From Dec. 5, Thai users will be unable to access the platform, with the regulator urging current investors to withdraw assets before the cutoff.
