This includes the efforts in developing financial products and services related to digital assets and expanding the potential of asset tokenization, among other things. In pursuing such strategy, Krungsri forms strategic partnerships with businesses that have high growth potential and corresponding business goals.

As a result, the size of investment in digital assets of institutional and individual investors has been rising continuously. XSpring Digital Co., Ltd, an ICO portal , has made a success as Thailand's first provider of newly issued digital token system which stimulated great interest in this new type of fundraising among the general public and the investors, both retail and high net worth.
