Users can create or join so-called “smart contracts” directly without third parties, limiting the possibility for fraud.

Ethereum is commonly used as a name of the associated cryptocurrency but in fact Ethereum is the system or network while Ether or ETH is the native currency. Users need to have Ether when they want to execute a certain transaction through the system.

What is the baht (THB)?

Baht or Thai baht (THB) is the official currency of the Kingdom of Thailand or Thailand. Different factors have positioned the baht as one of the most important currencies in the Asian region. However, the THB has also gone through certain crises in the late 1990s along with other currencies.

What affects THB’s value?

The Thai baht is under the influence of changes in economic fundamentals related to the Thailand economy. Consequently, positive changes in the current account, foreign trade, flow of foreign investments will cause an appreciation of THB value. Other factors which positively affect the demand for THB will also have a positive impact on Thailand’s currency.

The demand for the currency can be affected by the perception of Thailand's economic strength. The strength of other emerging economies in the region can additionally influence the THB price movement. When Thailand economically performs better, the Baht may be viewed as safer currency which will increase the demand.

In addition, adverse effects on the tourism sector can negatively affect the currency because this sector is comprising a significant portion of the GDP. But the most important activity which can drastically influence the value of its domestic currency is the export level which amounts to more than half of Thailand GDP.
