The Stock Exchange of Thailand (SET) has launched a crowdfunding marketplace that is built on blockchain technology in a bid to widen the access to capital funds for domestic startups. Southeast Asia has embraced the technology in a manner no other region has, with all sorts of blockchain applications appearing from startups in this part of the world. With the strong industry that the area possesses, Southeast Asia is proving to be the go-to spot for blockchain development. This approach to data management could help economies in Southeast Asia, which has difficulties keeping accurate data and control over everything from food output to personal information for its 250 million people across 17,000 islands.
