Thailand’s SEC news includes the launch of WORPT, a digital wallet app developed by Waan Exchange and Wipay under the Digipay sandbox program. The app enables tourists to convert stablecoins such as USDT and USDC into Thai baht for QR Promptpay payments. The project, involving Tether, The Mall Group, and Visa, plans to issue Visa prepaid cards by November 2026. A network upgrade is expected to support broader adoption of the service.

According to Bitcoin.com News, a collaborative project in Thailand has launched the digital wallet app WORPT, enabling foreign tourists to convert stablecoins such as USDT and USDC into Thai baht and pay local merchants via Thailand’s QR Promptpay network. The app was launched under the SEC’s Tourist Digipay regulatory sandbox program and was jointly developed by Waan Exchange and Wipay, in partnership with USDT issuer Tether, The Mall Group, and Visa.
Designed as a sandbox, local merchants do not directly receive cryptocurrency; payments are settled in Thai baht through standard payment systems. WORPT also plans to launch physical and virtual Visa prepaid cards, allowing users to share the same Thai baht balance for QR code payments and card transactions. The project is scheduled for a formal launch in November 2026.
