According to CoinMeta, Thai digital asset payment app worpt has announced that it has officially launched under Thailand's tourist digipay regulatory sandbox framework. This allows foreign tourists to exchange stablecoins such as USDT and USDC for Thai baht, and to use them to pay for goods and services by scanning QR codes with Thai QR PromptPay. worpt was jointly developed by Waan Exchange ( WaanX), a digital asset trader holding a Thai SEC license, and Wipay, an electronic currency service provider regulated by the Bank of Thailand. WaanX has been approved to participate in this tourist digipay sandbox. The project also involves partners such as Tether, Visa, and Thai retail group The Mall Group. Merchants ultimately receive Thai baht through existing payment systems, rather than directly accepting cryptocurrencies. worpt plans to launch a physical prepaid card in mid-November 2026, and a virtual card at the beginning of 2027, allowing users to use the same Thai baht balance for both QR code payments and bank card payments.
