Thai Gold market in Thailand shaken by huge Binance cryptocurrency theft linked to North Korean actors

Thai investors stormed gold shops this weekend as bullion plunged ฿2,200 per baht-weight to a one-year low. The sell-off followed a $6.3 billion Binance cryptocurrency heist and the US Federal Reserve’s decision to hold interest rates. Meanwhile, the FBI linked the record theft to North Korean hackers, while Binance TH suspended cryptocurrency transfers. Bargain hunters snapped up cheaper gold, while others reportedly sought to turn online holdings into physical metal. Despite the upheaval, Thai regulators reported no significant domestic cryptocurrency losses, and gold platforms remained stable. By Sunday, bullion had recovered just ฿50, leaving investors reeling from one of the year’s sharpest market collapses.

Thai gold investors piled into shops this weekend as bullion prices plunged to their lowest level in a year. Bargain hunters bought jewellery, exchanged existing holdings and accumulated heavier pieces.

Others reportedly sought physical delivery of gold held through mobile applications. The rush followed a turbulent week marked by a record cryptocurrency theft and a crucial American interest rate decision. By Saturday morning, Thai bullion had lost ฿2,200 per baht-weight in just two trading sessions.

The sharp fall triggered brisk business in Khon Kaen, where customers descended on Uthen Gold Shop on Saturday, October 31. Reporters observed substantial numbers purchasing necklaces, rings and other jewellery.

Gold buyers rush into shops as the Federal Reserve decision and Binance theft trigger sharp market losses

Some exchanged existing pieces for heavier items, while others dipped into savings to buy more gold. Many expected prices to recover after the steep decline. Meanwhile, the collapse left existing investors facing substantial losses on bullion purchased at higher prices.

Three international developments dominated the week’s financial turbulence. First, the US Federal Reserve held interest rates unchanged on Wednesday, disappointing expectations of an increase.

The following day, hackers stole approximately $6.3 billion from cryptocurrency exchange Binance. Separately, international gold prices collapsed amid heavy selling across financial markets. The combined upheaval brought sharp adjustments to Thailand’s domestic bullion market.

Thailand’s Gold Traders Association revised prices 27 times on Friday, October 30. By the close, bullion had fallen ฿650 to ฿63,750 per baht-weight. However, Saturday brought a considerably sharper decline. At 9.12 am, the association announced another ฿1,550 reduction, taking the selling price to ฿62,200. The buying quotation stood at ฿62,000.

Gold jewellery was selling for ฿63,000 per baht-weight, with dealers buying at ฿60,761.28. Consequently, the combined two-session bullion decline reached approximately 3.4%. Thursday’s closing selling price had stood at ฿64,400. The market therefore lost ฿2,200 per baht-weight before the weekend. Notably, the fall brought domestic gold prices to their lowest level in a year.

Thai bullion recovers just ฿50 after a two-day plunge as global gold sinks to its lowest level in a year

By Sunday, November 1, bullion had recovered just ฿50. Gold bars were selling for ฿62,250, while jewellery reached ฿63,050. Nevertheless, prices remained ฿2,150 below Thursday’s closing level. The modest recovery followed two sessions of exceptional volatility, leaving investors confronting sharply reduced valuations.

International markets recorded an equally severe retreat. Spot gold plunged 3.5% on Friday to approximately $3,881 an ounce. This represented its lowest level since October 2025. Furthermore, bullion stood more than 30% below January’s record of $5,595 an ounce. The fall accompanied heavy selling in American technology shares and wider financial markets.

Pichaya Pisuthikul, vice president of the Gold Traders Association, identified two principal causes of the upheaval. The first was the Federal Reserve’s interest rate announcement. The second was the massive cryptocurrency theft, which added pressure to already unsettled markets.

According to Pichaya, investors initially anticipated a quarter-point American interest rate increase. Gold consequently climbed to ฿64,900 per baht-weight on Thursday night.

However, the Federal Reserve maintained its existing benchmark rate. Gold prices then fell sharply on Friday morning. The American central bank’s Open Market Committee had voted 10–2 on Wednesday, October 28. Its decision kept the benchmark interest rate at 3.75–4%. Two policymakers, Lisa Cook and Beth Hammack, supported an immediate quarter-point increase.

Federal Reserve holds rates as inflation persists and a stronger dollar puts further pressure on gold

The majority instead preferred to await further inflation evidence. American inflation remained above the Federal Reserve’s 2% target. Nevertheless, policymakers declined to tighten monetary conditions immediately.

Federal Reserve Chairman Kevin Warsh subsequently emphasised the importance of incoming economic information. Investors were also assessing the possibility of another rate increase in December.

The decision had immediate significance for precious metals. Gold produces no interest income, unlike deposits and other interest-bearing investments. Consequently, higher rates can increase the attraction of competing financial assets. Yet bullion prices also respond to currency movements, investor demand and broader market conditions. In this instance, the American dollar strengthened as gold prices fell.

Ekkalak Chanawirat, owner of Uthen Gold Shop in Khon Kaen, identified the strengthening dollar as a major influence. He said international investors were increasingly favouring the American currency over gold. Some were seeking quicker returns from currency movements. In addition, he cited weak economic conditions, Middle Eastern tensions and oil prices as important factors.

Ekkalak said bullion appeared to be declining, although the extent of further losses remained uncertain. Despite that uncertainty, he considered current prices attractive for long-term buyers.

He described the market as offering a favourable opportunity to accumulate physical gold. However, he cautioned against committing large sums immediately. International developments could still drive prices lower or produce another recovery.

His comments came as customers continued arriving at his shop throughout Saturday. Many were purchasing jewellery after the sudden price decline.

Others exchanged existing pieces for heavier necklaces and rings. Some believed prices might be approaching their lowest levels of the year. Accordingly, buyers were taking advantage of cheaper quotations while anticipating an eventual recovery.

The activity reflected a longstanding feature of Thailand’s gold market. Investors frequently buy during price declines and sell when quotations rise. Gold also serves as an established household savings instrument. Unlike many financial investments, jewellery and bullion can be sold directly through an extensive retail network. That accessibility remains important during periods of financial pressure.

Binance loses $6.3 billion in cryptocurrency theft as investigators trace funds to North Korean hackers

The week’s second major shock came from the cryptocurrency industry. On Thursday, October 29, hackers compromised internet-connected wallets belonging to Binance, the world’s largest cryptocurrency exchange.

The attack occurred at approximately 20.05 UTC. According to the company’s subsequent security statement, approximately $6.3 billion in digital assets was stolen.

The stolen holdings included Bitcoin, Ethereum, BNB and dollar-linked stablecoins, including USDT and USDC. The scale was unprecedented in the supplied reporting. In 2025, hackers had stolen approximately $1.5 billion from rival exchange Bybit. However, the Binance theft exceeded that figure more than fourfold. The breach immediately triggered international investigations and efforts to trace the stolen assets.

By Saturday, October 31, the FBI had attributed the attack to TraderTraitor, a hacking operation linked to North Korea. Investigators reported that the perpetrators were converting stolen cryptocurrency primarily into Ethereum.

They also warned that decentralised financial services could conceal transactions involving the missing assets. In response, the FBI urged cryptocurrency exchanges and blockchain investigators to block transactions connected to identified digital addresses.

Trump questions North Korean link as Binance freezes $3 billion and promises to cover customers’ losses

President Donald Trump, however, questioned whether North Korean responsibility had been conclusively established. The investigation continued amid competing statements about the perpetrators.

Separately, Binance promised to absorb the losses rather than transfer them to customers. Its October 30 statement reported that approximately $3 billion in stolen assets had been frozen on blockchain networks.

The company also identified substantial corporate reserves allocated to replacing missing cryptocurrency. Nevertheless, freezing stolen assets does not guarantee their recovery. The eventual amount returned remains uncertain. The theft also exposed the scale of financial losses possible when internet-connected cryptocurrency wallets are compromised.

The consequences quickly reached Thailand. On Friday, Gulf Binance Co Ltd, operator of Binance TH, temporarily suspended cryptocurrency deposits and withdrawals. The company described the restrictions as precautionary measures following the international breach. However, it stressed that Thai customer assets were held separately from Binance’s global platform.

Binance TH suspends crypto transfers but says cold wallets are safe as Thai regulators demand assurances

Gulf Binance also said its independently operated cold-wallet storage systems had not been compromised. Other platform services remained available during additional security examinations.

Meanwhile, Thailand’s Securities and Exchange Commission sought information from licensed domestic cryptocurrency operators. Preliminary assessments showed no significant impact on customer assets.

The regulator nevertheless instructed operators to examine their exposure and monitor suspicious transactions. Companies were also required to report measures protecting customers. There was no verified evidence that Binance TH customers suffered losses from the international theft. Even so, the precautionary suspension temporarily interrupted deposits and withdrawals.

Pichaya linked the cryptocurrency incident to broader financial market selling. He said the theft involved digital assets worth nearly ฿200 billion. According to his account, the upheaval contributed to a decline exceeding 500 points in American stocks. Thailand’s stock market also lost more than 20 points. Investors feared losing cryptocurrency deposited with exchanges, adding to financial market uncertainty.

Gold selling adds to market pressure while some app users reportedly seek delivery of physical bullion

Some consequently sold other assets, including gold, to raise cash and offset potential losses. The selling intensified pressure on bullion prices already weakened by international developments.

In parallel, reports emerged of customers seeking physical delivery of gold accumulated through mobile applications. Some reportedly feared losing access to their savings following the Binance incident.

Reports described customers converting online gold balances into jewellery or bullion. However, this activity differed from ordinary bargain hunting. Some customers were purchasing additional metal after prices fell. Others wanted physical possession of gold already accumulated through digital services. A separate group was exchanging existing jewellery for heavier pieces.

The available evidence did not establish a nationwide withdrawal run from digital gold platforms. Industry representatives reported that online trading continued normally. Moreover, there was no alarming increase in selling pressure or widespread withdrawals. Investors who had purchased gold at higher prices were generally maintaining their positions. Some faced requirements to provide additional funds rather than liquidating their holdings.

Online gold platforms report normal trading despite Binance fears and growing demand for physical holdings

Crucially, representatives reported no hacking problems affecting the gold trading applications themselves. The Binance attack involved cryptocurrency infrastructure, not the domestic digital gold platforms covered by those observations. Nevertheless, the incident coincided with reported customer interest in converting online gold savings into physical metal.

Online gold investment also differs from cryptocurrency ownership. Many Thai digital gold services represent holdings administered by bullion dealers or custodians. Eligible customers can redeem accumulated balances for physical metal under specified conditions. However, redemption requirements vary between operators. Some impose minimum quantities, delivery charges or transaction costs.

Other investment products provide exposure to gold prices without guaranteeing physical redemption. Consequently, investors cannot assume every online gold balance can be exchanged directly for bullion. The distinction has become increasingly important as Thailand’s digital gold market expands.

Thailand has a substantial network of established gold dealers. Major companies include Hua Seng Heng, YLG Bullion International, Ausiris Gold and MTS Group. These businesses operate across retail jewellery, wholesale bullion and digital investment services. Their operations connect Thailand’s traditional gold market with international prices and electronic trading systems.

Thailand’s gold market blends online trading with a vast network of bullion dealers and household savers

Research by the London Bullion Market Association identifies Thailand as a major retail investment market. Annual investment in gold bars and coins increased from 29 tonnes in 2021 to an estimated 51 tonnes in 2025. Bangkok accounts for more than 80% of the country’s wholesale gold transactions. The figures demonstrate the scale of Thailand’s bullion business and its concentration in the capital.

Digital transactions have also expanded rapidly. According to the association, nearly half of Thai gold transactions now occur online. For some major dealers, electronic transactions account for more than half their investment business. Thai banks have also established partnerships with bullion companies, widening access to digital gold investment.

Despite this expansion, physical gold remains firmly established in household finances. Customers can purchase jewellery, accumulate bullion or sell existing holdings directly to dealers. Gold shops therefore provide an accessible source of cash during financial difficulties. The country’s extensive retail network supports both investment purchases and the liquidation of household savings.

That role became particularly evident during the pandemic. Thai investors became net sellers of physical gold, liquidating more than 87 tonnes. Many households needed money for living expenses and financial commitments. The London Bullion Market Association identified this selling as evidence of gold’s importance as a household reserve.

Gold buyers and sellers face starkly different outcomes as a two-day slide wipes ฿2,200 off bullion

The latest decline created sharply different incentives for buyers and sellers. Households requiring immediate cash could sell existing gold despite falling quotations.

Conversely, investors with available savings could purchase additional bullion at substantially reduced prices. The financial differences were considerable, particularly for customers holding larger quantities.

Five baht-weight of bullion cost ฿322,000 at Thursday’s closing selling price. By Saturday morning, the equivalent quoted selling value had fallen to ฿311,000. The decline therefore amounted to ฿11,000 before accounting for trading spreads. Larger holdings suffered correspondingly greater reductions in their quoted value.

Jewellery transactions involve additional costs. Manufacturing charges are generally included in retail prices. Resale quotations may also involve further deductions. As a result, customers exchanging necklaces or rings must consider both bullion prices and individual dealers’ terms. The amount received can differ substantially from the original purchase price.

Thailand’s financial authorities have already tightened oversight of online gold trading. Earlier in 2026, the Bank of Thailand announced measures affecting baht-denominated digital transactions. These included a ฿50 million daily transaction limit per customer, subject to specified exemptions and approvals. Physical gold transactions and foreign-currency trading received different treatment.

Bank of Thailand tightens digital gold rules as large transactions draw scrutiny over currency movements

The measures sought greater transparency, tighter money-laundering controls and reduced disturbances in the baht. Large online gold transactions had already attracted regulatory attention because of their influence on currency markets. The expansion of digital trading had also increased the importance of electronically executed bullion transactions.

International gold is generally quoted in dollars, while Thai dealers publish domestic prices in baht. Accordingly, local quotations reflect both international bullion prices and exchange-rate movements. A strengthening baht can amplify domestic declines when international gold prices fall. Conversely, depreciation can partly offset losses in dollar-denominated bullion.

Large gold transactions can also affect currency demand as dealers convert proceeds between dollars and baht. The market therefore extends beyond jewellery shops and retail investment accounts. It also connects with foreign-exchange trading, banking services and financial regulation.

The week’s turmoil brought these markets together. Cryptocurrency exchanges faced security investigations, while gold traders confronted falling international prices. At the same time, Thai customers responded to cheaper bullion and reports of digital asset disruption. However, the strongest documented evidence of increased physical buying came from Khon Kaen.

Khon Kaen gold shops see brisk demand but nationwide flight from online holdings remains unconfirmed

Reporters observed substantial customer activity at Uthen Gold Shop following Saturday’s sharp decline. Buyers purchased necklaces and rings, exchanged existing jewellery and used savings to acquire more gold. Some anticipated a recovery after prices reached their lowest level in a year. Ekkalak nevertheless warned that further declines remained possible.

Separately, reports described online gold investors seeking physical delivery following the Binance incident. Industry representatives maintained that digital gold trading remained orderly. There was no confirmed widespread withdrawal run. Nor did the available evidence establish how many cryptocurrency investors transferred funds directly into physical bullion.

By Sunday, Thai gold prices had recovered only ฿50 from Saturday’s opening quotation. Bullion remained ฿2,150 below Thursday’s closing level. International gold had fallen to approximately $3,881 an ounce. The domestic market was therefore entering another trading period following a severe two-session decline.

Binance, meanwhile, faced continuing investigations into the $6.3 billion theft. Its Thai operation had introduced precautionary restrictions, while regulators monitored licensed cryptocurrency businesses. Gold dealers were also watching American interest rates, dollar movements and international bullion prices. Each had contributed to the week’s financial turbulence.

Gold investors confront a one-year price low after Binance theft and Fed decision shake global markets

For Thai gold investors, the weekend produced an extraordinary combination of events. A record cryptocurrency theft unsettled digital markets. The Federal Reserve held American borrowing costs unchanged. International gold prices plunged, dragging Thai bullion to a one-year low.

Yet the fall also brought buyers into gold shops. In Khon Kaen, customers purchased cheaper metal and exchanged existing jewellery for heavier pieces. Others reportedly sought physical delivery of gold held through applications. The documented activity showed brisk retail demand, although digital gold trading remained orderly.

The figures captured the scale of the reversal. Thai bullion lost ฿2,200 per baht-weight in two sessions, while international gold fell to a one-year low. By Sunday, only ฿50 of the domestic decline had been recovered. Canny Thai investors had already moved into gold shops, buying cheaper bullion and jewellery amid one of the year’s sharpest market sell-offs.

在经济、生活、媒体、泰国

本周末，泰国金价暴跌2200泰铢/磅，创一年新低，引发投资者涌入金店抢购。此前，币安加密货币遭遇63亿美元盗窃案，加上美联储决定维持利率不变，导致金价暴跌。与此同时，美国联邦调查局将这起创纪录的盗窃案与朝鲜黑客联系起来，币安泰国分行暂停了加密货币转账服务。一些投资者趁机抢购低价黄金，另一些投资者则试图将线上持有的黄金兑换成实物黄金。尽管市场动荡，泰国监管机构报告称，国内加密货币交易并未出现重大损失，黄金交易平台也保持稳定。截至周日，金价仅回升50泰铢，投资者仍对今年最严重的市场崩盘之一感到震惊。

本周末，泰国黄金价格暴跌至一年来的最低点，大量黄金投资者涌入商店抢购。他们购买珠宝首饰，置换现有黄金储备，并增持重量较大的金条。

据报道，另一些人则寻求提取通过手机应用程序持有的黄金实物。这波抢购潮发生在动荡的一周之后，这一周的亮点包括创纪录的加密货币盗窃案和至关重要的美国利率决议。截至周六上午，泰国黄金价格在短短两个交易日内每泰铢重量下跌了2200泰铢。

10 月 31 日星期六，孔敬府金饰店生意兴隆，顾客蜂拥而至。记者观察到，大量顾客购买了项链、戒指和其他珠宝。

美联储决议和币安盗窃事件引发市场暴跌，黄金买家涌入商店抢购。

一些人将现有的金条换成了更重的金条，而另一些人则动用积蓄购买更多黄金。许多人预期金价在暴跌后会回升。与此同时，金价暴跌也让之前以较高价格购入的黄金投资者蒙受了巨大损失。

本周金融市场动荡主要由三项国际事件主导。首先，美联储周三维持利率不变，令市场预期加息落空。

第二天，黑客从加密货币交易所币安窃取了约63亿美元。与此同时，由于金融市场抛售潮，国际黄金价格暴跌。这一系列动荡导致泰国国内黄金市场剧烈震荡。

泰国黄金交易商协会于10月30日（周五）对黄金价格进行了27次调整。收盘时，金价下跌650泰铢，至每泰铢重63,750泰铢。然而，周六金价跌幅更大。上午9点12分，该协会宣布再次下调1,550泰铢，将金价降至每泰铢重62,200泰铢，买入价为每泰铢重62,000泰铢。

黄金首饰售价为每泰铢重63,000泰铢，而经销商的买入价为每泰铢重60,761.28泰铢。因此，两日累计金价下跌约3.4%。周四收盘价为每泰铢重64,400泰铢。周末前，金价累计下跌2,200泰铢。值得注意的是，此次下跌使泰国国内金价跌至一年来的最低水平。

泰国金价在连续两天暴跌后仅反弹50泰铢，而全球黄金价格则跌至一年来的最低水平。

截至11月1日星期日，金价仅回升50泰铢。金条售价为62,250泰铢，珠宝售价为63,050泰铢。尽管如此，金价仍比周四收盘价低2,150泰铢。此次小幅回升是在经历了两个交易日的剧烈波动之后出现的，此前投资者面临着估值大幅缩水的局面。

国际市场也遭遇了同样严重的下跌。现货黄金周五暴跌3.5%，至约每盎司3881美元，创下自2025年10月以来的最低水平。此外，金价较1月份创下的每盎司5595美元的历史高点下跌超过30%。此次下跌伴随着美国科技股和更广泛的金融市场的抛售潮。

黄金交易商协会副主席皮查亚·皮苏提库尔指出，此次市场动荡主要有两个原因。首先是美联储的利率决议。其次是大规模加密货币盗窃案，这给本已动荡不安的市场雪上加霜。

据皮查亚称，投资者最初预期美国将加息25个基点。因此，周四晚间黄金价格攀升至每泰铢64,900泰铢。

然而，美联储维持了现有的基准利率。周五上午，金价大幅下跌。美联储公开市场委员会于10月28日（周三）以10比2的投票结果决定，将基准利率维持在3.75%至4%的区间。两位政策制定者，丽莎·库克和贝丝·哈马克，支持立即加息0.25个百分点。

由于通胀持续，美联储维持利率不变，美元走强进一步加剧了黄金价格的压力。

大多数人更倾向于等待进一步的通胀证据。美国通胀率仍高于美联储2%的目标。尽管如此，政策制定者仍拒绝立即收紧货币政策。

美联储主席凯文·沃什随后强调了即将公布的经济信息的重要性。投资者也在评估12月份再次加息的可能性。

这一决定对贵金属市场产生了直接影响。与存款和其他生息投资不同，黄金本身不产生利息收入。因此，利率上升可能会增加其他金融资产的吸引力。然而，金价也会受到汇率波动、投资者需求和整体市场状况的影响。就此而言，美元走强，而金价却下跌了。

孔敬府Uthen Gold Shop的老板Ekkalak Chanawirat认为美元走强是主要影响因素。他说，国际投资者越来越青睐美元而非黄金。一些投资者希望从汇率波动中获得更快的回报。此外，他还提到疲软的经济状况、中东局势紧张以及油价上涨也是重要因素。

孔敬府黄金交易商表示，他们看到捡漏者回归，但警告称金价在回升前可能还会进一步下跌。

埃卡拉克表示，金价似乎正在下跌，但进一步下跌的幅度仍不确定。尽管存在这种不确定性，他认为目前的价格对长期买家来说仍然具有吸引力。

他认为当前市场为买入实物黄金提供了良机。但他同时告诫投资者不要立即投入大量资金。国际形势的发展仍有可能导致金价下跌或再次反弹。

周六当天，顾客络绎不绝地来到他的店里，他发表这番言论之际，许多人都在珠宝价格突然下跌后购买珠宝。

另一些人则用现有的首饰换购更重的项链和戒指。一些人认为价格可能已接近年内最低点。因此，买家们趁着价格较低时入手，同时期待价格最终回升。

这一交易活动反映了泰国黄金市场的长期特征。投资者通常在金价下跌时买入，在金价上涨时卖出。黄金也是一种成熟的家庭储蓄工具。与许多金融投资不同，珠宝和金条可以通过广泛的零售网络直接出售。这种便利性在经济压力时期尤为重要。

币安遭遇63亿美元加密货币盗窃案，调查人员追踪到资金来源为朝鲜黑客

本周的第二个重大冲击来自加密货币行业。10月29日星期四，黑客入侵了全球最大的加密货币交易所币安的联网钱包。

攻击发生在世界协调时20:05左右。根据该公司随后发布的安全声明，约有63亿美元的数字资产被盗。

被盗资产包括比特币、以太坊、币安币 (BNB) 以及美元稳定币，例如 USDT 和 USDC。据现有报告显示，此次盗窃规模前所未有。2025 年，黑客曾从竞争对手 Bybit 交易所窃取了约 15 亿美元。然而，币安此次被盗金额是 Bybit 的四倍多。此次事件立即引发了国际调查，并展开了追查被盗资产的行动。

截至10月31日星期六，联邦调查局已将此次攻击归咎于与朝鲜有关联的黑客组织TraderTraitor。调查人员报告称，犯罪分子主要将窃取的加密货币兑换成以太坊。

他们还警告说，去中心化的金融服务可能会掩盖涉及失踪资产的交易。对此，联邦调查局敦促加密货币交易所和区块链调查人员阻止与已识别的数字地址相关的交易。

特朗普质疑与朝鲜的关系，与此同时，币安冻结了30亿美元资金并承诺赔偿客户损失。

然而，唐纳德·特朗普总统质疑是否已确凿证实朝鲜负有责任。在各方对肇事者说法不一的情况下，调查仍在继续。

此外，币安承诺自行承担损失，而不是将损失转嫁给客户。其10月30日的声明称，约30亿美元的被盗资产已被冻结在区块链网络上。

该公司还确认已拨出大量公司储备金用于弥补丢失的加密货币。然而，冻结被盗资产并不能保证追回损失，最终追回的金额仍不确定。此次盗窃事件也暴露了联网加密货币钱包被盗用后可能造成的巨大经济损失。

事件的影响迅速波及泰国。周五，币安泰国（Binance TH）的运营商Gulf Binance Co Ltd暂停了加密货币的充值和提现。该公司称，此举是针对国际安全漏洞采取的预防措施。不过，该公司强调，泰国客户的资产与币安的全球平台是分开存放的。

币安泰国站暂停加密货币转账，但表示冷钱包安全，泰国监管机构要求其做出保证。

海湾币安方面也表示，其独立运营的冷钱包存储系统未受影响。在进行额外的安全检查期间，其他平台服务仍然可用。

与此同时，泰国证券交易委员会向持有牌照的国内加密货币运营商索取了相关信息。初步评估显示，此次事件对客户资产未造成重大影响。

尽管如此，监管机构仍指示运营商检查风险敞口并监控可疑交易。各公司也被要求报告保护客户的措施。目前尚无确凿证据表明币安泰国客户因这起国际盗窃事件而遭受损失。即便如此，预防性暂停还是暂时中断了充值和提现功能。

皮查亚将此次加密货币事件与更广泛的金融市场抛售联系起来。他表示，被盗的数字资产价值近2000亿泰铢。据他所述，此次动荡导致美国股市下跌超过500点。泰国股市也下跌超过20点。投资者担心存入交易所的加密货币会丢失，加剧了金融市场的不确定性。

黄金抛售加剧了市场压力，据报道，一些应用程序用户寻求实物金条交付。

因此，一些人抛售了包括黄金在内的其他资产，以筹集现金并抵消潜在损失。抛售加剧了金价的压力，而金价此前已因国际形势而走弱。

与此同时，有报道称，一些客户要求提取通过手机应用程序积累的黄金实物。据称，部分客户担心在币安事件后会失去提取黄金的权限。

报道称，一些顾客将线上黄金余额兑换成珠宝或金条。然而，这种行为与普通的淘金行为有所不同。部分顾客在金价下跌后购买更多黄金，另一些顾客则希望将通过线上服务积累的黄金实物变现。还有一部分顾客用现有的珠宝换取更重的款式。

现有证据并未显示全国范围内出现数字黄金平台的提款潮。业内人士报告称，线上交易正常进行。此外，并未出现抛售压力激增或大规模提款的情况。此前以较高价格购入黄金的投资者普遍维持了持仓。部分投资者被要求追加资金，而非被迫出售其持有的黄金。

尽管面临币安危机和实物黄金需求增长的担忧，但在线黄金平台报告称交易正常。

至关重要的是，相关代表报告称，黄金交易应用程序本身并未受到任何黑客攻击。币安遭受的攻击针对的是加密货币基础设施，而非上述观察所涵盖的国内数字黄金平台。尽管如此，此次事件恰逢客户对将线上黄金储蓄兑换成实物黄金表现出浓厚兴趣之际。

在线黄金投资与加密货币持有也有区别。许多泰国数字黄金服务代表由金条交易商或托管人管理的黄金持有量。符合条件的客户可以在特定条件下将累积余额兑换成实物黄金。然而，不同运营商的兑换要求各不相同。有些运营商会设定最低兑换数量、收取运费或交易手续费。

其他投资产品虽然也能让投资者参与黄金价格波动，但并不保证实物兑现。因此，投资者不能想当然地认为所有线上黄金余额都能直接兑换成金条。随着泰国数字黄金市场的扩张，这种区别变得愈发重要。

泰国拥有庞大的黄金交易商网络。主要公司包括华盛恒（Hua Seng Heng）、YLG国际金银（YLG Bullion International）、Ausiris Gold和MTS集团。这些企业业务涵盖零售珠宝、批发金银和数字投资服务。它们的运营将泰国传统黄金市场与国际价格和电子交易系统连接起来。

泰国的黄金市场融合了线上交易、庞大的金条交易商网络以及家庭储户。

伦敦金银市场协​​会的研究指出，泰国是重要的零售投资市场。2021年，泰国金条和金币的年投资量为29吨，预计到2025年将达到51吨。曼谷的黄金批发交易量占全国的80%以上。这些数据表明了泰国黄金交易的规模及其对首都曼谷的集中度。

数字交易也发展迅猛。据该协会称，目前泰国近一半的黄金交易都是在线进行的。对于一些大型交易商而言，电子交易在其投资业务中的占比超过一半。泰国各大银行也与金银公司建立了合作关系，进一步扩大了数字黄金投资的渠道。

尽管市场扩张，实物黄金在家庭财务中仍然占据稳固地位。顾客可以直接向经销商购买珠宝、积累金条或出售现有黄金。因此，金店在经济困难时期提供了一种便捷的现金来源。该国庞大的零售网络既支持投资购买，也支持家庭储蓄的变现。

疫情期间，黄金的这一作用尤为明显。泰国投资者成为实物黄金的净卖方，抛售量超过87吨。许多家庭需要资金来支付生活开支和履行财务义务。伦敦金银市场协​​会认为，这种抛售行为恰恰证明了黄金作为家庭储备的重要性。

黄金买卖双方面临截然不同的结果，两日跌幅导致金价下跌2200泰铢。

最新一轮的下跌给买卖双方带来了截然不同的激励因素。急需现金的家庭可能会在价格下跌的情况下出售手中的黄金。

反之，拥有可用储蓄的投资者可以以大幅降低的价格购买更多金条。这种价格差异相当可观，尤其对于持有大量金条的客户而言更是如此。

周四收盘时，5泰铢重的金条售价为322,000泰铢。到周六早上，其报价已跌至311,000泰铢。因此，在未计入交易价差的情况下，金条价格下跌了11,000泰铢。持有量较大的金条，其报价价格的跌幅也更大。

珠宝交易涉及额外费用。制造费用通常包含在零售价格中。转售报价可能还会扣除其他费用。因此，顾客在交换项链或戒指时，必须同时考虑金银价格和各经销商的具体条款。最终到手的金额可能与最初的购买价格相差甚远。

泰国金融监管机构已加强对线上黄金交易的监管。2026年初，泰国央行宣布了一系列影响泰铢计价数字交易的措施，其中包括对每位客户每日交易额设定5000万泰铢的上限，但需符合特定豁免条件并获得批准。实物黄金交易和外汇交易则适用不同的监管规定。

泰国央行收紧数字黄金规则，大额交易引发货币流动性审查。

这些措施旨在提高透明度，加强反洗钱管控，并减少泰铢波动。大宗线上黄金交易因其对货币市场的影响，早已引起监管机构的关注。数字交易的扩张也提升了电子黄金交易的重要性。

国际黄金价格通常以美元报价，而泰国经销商则以泰铢公布国内价格。因此，本地报价既反映了国际金价，也反映了汇率波动。当国际金价下跌时，泰铢走强会加剧国内金价的下跌。反之，泰铢贬值也能部分抵消以美元计价的黄金价格的损失。

大额黄金交易也会影响货币需求，因为交易商需要将所得款项在美元和泰铢之间进行兑换。因此，黄金市场不仅限于珠宝店和零售投资账户，还与外汇交易、银行服务和金融监管息息相关。

本周的动荡将这些市场联系在一起。加密货币交易所面临安全调查，而黄金交易商则面临国际金价下跌。与此同时，泰国消费者对价格更低的金条以及有关数字资产中断的报道做出了积极反应。然而，实物黄金购买量增加的最有力证据来自孔敬府。

孔敬府的黄金店需求旺盛，但全国范围内的黄金持有者是否会从线上渠道撤离仍未得到证实。

记者观察到，在周六金价暴跌之后，乌森金店的顾客活动十分活跃。买家们购买项链和戒指，以旧换新，并用积蓄购买更多黄金。一些人预计，在金价跌至一年来的最低点后，金价将会回升。然而，埃卡拉克警告说，金价仍有可能进一步下跌。

另有报道称，币安事件发生后，一些线上黄金投资者寻求实物交割。业内人士坚称，数字黄金交易依然有序。目前尚未确认出现大规模提现潮。现有证据也未能确定有多少加密货币投资者将资金直接转入了实物黄金市场。

截至周日，泰国金价仅较周六开盘价回升50泰铢，仍比周四收盘价低2150泰铢。国际金价已跌至约每盎司3881美元。因此，在经历了连续两个交易日的大幅下跌后，泰国国内金价进入了新的交易阶段。

与此同时，币安仍面临着针对其63亿美元盗窃案的持续调查。其泰国业务已采取预防性限制措施，监管机构也对持牌加密货币企业进行了监控。黄金交易商也在密切关注美国利率、美元走势和国际金价。这些因素都加剧了本周的金融动荡。

币安盗窃事件和美联储决议震动全球市场后，黄金投资者面临一年来的价格低点。

对泰国黄金投资者而言，这个周末可谓是各种事件交织在一起，令人震惊。创纪录的加密货币盗窃案扰乱了数字市场。美联储维持美国借贷成本不变。国际金价暴跌，拖累泰国黄金价格跌至一年来的最低点。

然而，金价下跌也吸引了买家涌入金店。在孔敬府，顾客购买价格更低的黄金，并用旧首饰换取更重的款式。据报道，还有一些顾客选择提取通过应用程序持有的黄金。记录在案的交易活动表明零售需求旺盛，尽管线上黄金交易依然有序。

这些数据反映了金价逆转的幅度。泰国金价在两个交易日内每泰铢重量下跌了2200泰铢，而国际黄金价格也跌至一年来的最低点。截至周日，国内金价仅收复了50泰铢的跌幅。精明的泰国投资者早已涌入金店，在今年最剧烈的市场抛售之一中，以更低的价格买入金条和珠宝。
