Thailand's Finance Minister Ekniti Nitithanprapas said there are no plans to raise the public debt ceiling and that the current limit of 70% of GDP is reasonable. According to Sina Finance, Ekniti said at an economic forum on Wednesday that his task is to reduce public debt as a share of GDP and maintain fiscal discipline. As of the end of September, public debt stood at 68.6% of GDP. The government plans to use some remaining funds from a 200 billion baht borrowing program to encourage the transportation sector to switch to cleaner fuels.

Citing rising travel costs and the need to support tourism and attract more foreign visitors, the Finance Ministry has suspended plans to impose an exit tax of about 1,000 baht.

French crypto market intelligence firm OAK Research published a report on October 30 titled “Stablecoins Generate Huge Revenue, but It Is Not Flowing to Public Blockchains,” authored by Lilian Aliaga. According to ChainCatcher, the report found that stablecoin issuers earned far more than the public blockchains hosting their tokens. Stablecoin market capitalization has grown from $4 billion in January 2020 to about $298 billion currently, after reaching $310 billion at the end of April this year. The market is now more than three times the total value locked in DeFi. In the third quarter of 2026, Tether and Circle generated about $2.1 billion in combined revenue, while fees across the 13 blockchains tracked by OAK totaled $285 million. The report said issuers primarily earn interest on reserve assets, while blockchains collect transaction fees and do not generate revenue from stablecoin balances held on their networks. Circle reported $701.3 million in total revenue in the second quarter of 2026, of which reserve income accounted for 95%, or $667.7 million, up just 5% year over year. Over the same period, USDC on-chain transaction volume rose 151% to $14.8 trillion, and its average supply increased 25%. Circle’s reserve yield fell 66 basis points to 3.49%. Tether’s average supply grew 10.6% year over year, while DefiLlama estimates its quarterly revenue at about $1.5 billion. In the third quarter of 2026, Ethereum hosted an average of $146 billion in stablecoins but collected only $34.6 million in fees. Solana hosted less than $16 billion and collected $62.9 million in fees, of which just $6.7 million remained with protocols. In the first quarter of 2024, Ethereum fees reached $1.17 billion, exceeding the approximately $730 million in issuer revenue associated with its stablecoin holdings. By the third quarter of 2026, issuer revenue was about $986 million, while Ethereum fees were $34.6 million. Stablecoins currently account for about 28% of deposits on Aave, 37% on Morpho, and 84% on Hyperliquid.
