The funding would help the company to take part in Vietnam’s government-backed pilot programme for regulated crypto-asset exchanges, the news outlet reported. Under this pilot, only licensed domestic entities meeting high capital, compliance and infrastructure requirements set out by the government in September 2025 may offer crypto-asset trading and related services.
The initiative is part of a broader regulatory shift in Vietnam, where the Law on the Digital Technology Industry (effective 1 Jan) formally recognizes digital and crypto assets in law, a first in the region, while maintaining that such assets are not legal tender and may only be traded within regulated frameworks, according to the report.
Vietnam ranked among the top five globally for crypto uptake, in the latest Chainalysis Global Adoption Index.
