Mitihoon – BINANCE TH by Gulf BINANCE, a leading digital asset trading platform regulated under the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), in partnership with Gulf Energy Development Public Company Limited (GULF), has entered into a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with Thammasat University. This strategic collaboration aims to cultivate next-generation talent and develop comprehensive educational programs to support Thailand’s rapidly expanding digital asset industry.
Recent data from SEC reveals that digital asset trading volume reached 99.5 billion baht in January 2025, with over 2.45 million active investor accounts. This remarkable growth in the cryptocurrency market has created substantial demand for skilled professionals, particularly in blockchain technology and digital assets – fields where expertise remains scarce. According to the Ministry of Labor, Thailand currently faces a significant skills gap, with demand for over 140,000 digital professionals across various specializations, including software engineers, data analysts, AI developers, cybersecurity specialists, blockchain developers, semiconductor programmers, microchip and automation developers, and digital marketers.
Mr. Sarath Ratanavadi, Chief Executive Officer, Gulf Energy Development Public Company Limited, said, “GULF recognizes the transformative potential of the digital economy, particularly blockchain technology, which extends far beyond the financial sector. We have identified numerous practical applications for blockchain across our business spectrum, including carbon credit trading, renewable energy management, and power trading transactions. However, realizing these innovations requires a skilled workforce ready to implement them. Our partnership with Thammasat University represents a strategic investment in developing next-generation talent who will bridge the crucial gap between energy expertise and blockchain technology. These professionals will be instrumental in advancing Thailand’s energy sector into the digital age. Furthermore, by cultivating cryptocurrency and blockchain expertise, we’re positioning Thailand to emerge as a regional hub for blockchain technology, which will naturally attract international investment and innovation.
Mr. Nirun Fuwattananukul, Chief Executive Officer of Gulf Binance Company Limited, said, “Thailand’s digital asset market is experiencing unprecedented momentum, evidenced by our platform’s remarkable 300% trading volume growth in 2024. We anticipate this upward trajectory to continue, driven by increasing institutional adoption and the landmark approval of Bitcoin ETFs in the United States—a development that has bolstered confidence across global markets, including Thailand. To capitalize on this momentum, we’re implementing a comprehensive talent development strategy. Our partnership will deliver cutting-edge e-learning and blended learning programs that bridge theoretical knowledge with practical applications. The curriculum encompasses crucial areas including blockchain technology, digital assets, digital finance, and regulatory frameworks. This initiative will create a pipeline of professionals equipped to lead Thailand’s digital financial transformation and contribute to our country’s emergence as a regional digital asset hub.”
Professor Dr.Supasawad Chardchawarn, Rector of Thammasat University, said, “Thammasat University is committed to preparing graduates for the complexities of the 21st-century digital economy. Our ambitious goal to produce 8,000 specialists annually in digital asset technologies reflects our recognition of this rapidly evolving sector. This strategic partnership with industry leaders in both energy and digital assets will revolutionize our educational approach through an innovative blend of classroom learning and real-world industry exposure. Our program will offer students unprecedented access to industry expertise and practical experience. Participants will benefit from premium internship placements with leading digital asset companies, direct pathways to high-demand positions, and invaluable networking opportunities with both domestic and international industry experts. This initiative represents more than just education—it’s an investment in Thailand’s digital future
Former Binance CEO Changpeng ‘CZ’ Zhao, said, “We believe that education is the foundation of innovation and financial inclusion. Our partnership with Gulf Thailand and Thammasat University to educate 1,000 students on blockchain and crypto is a significant step toward empowering Thailand’s next generation with the knowledge and skills needed to thrive in the digital economy.
Thailand has a rapidly growing blockchain ecosystem, and equipping young minds with a deep understanding of crypto technology will help drive responsible adoption, entrepreneurship, and long-term economic growth. This initiative not only supports the local talent pipeline but also strengthens the global crypto industry by fostering a well-informed community of future leaders, developers, and innovators.
We are proud to collaborate on this strategic effort and remain committed to making blockchain education accessible to all, ensuring that Thailand plays a key role in shaping the future of Web3.”
The three-year collaboration, commencing from the signing date, establishes a comprehensive framework for developing cutting-edge curricula and programs focused on blockchain technology and digital assets. This initiative aligns with the government’s strategic vision to establish Thailand as ASEAN’s Digital Asset Hub, targeting a regional market value exceeding 130 billion baht by 2025.
