blog post<\/a> regarding the partnership.<\/p>\nVietnam outlines strict criteria<\/h1>\n
Vietnam\u2019s Ministry of Finance and the State Securities Commission are currently rolling out a five-year testing phase for the industry. However, the window for entry is narrow. Only five companies will be permitted to operate exchanges during this period, with the licensing process having officially started on January 20.<\/p>\n
The regulatory framework imposes significant restrictions on how these businesses are structured. Foreign investors cannot own more than 49% of an exchange, and at least 65% of the total capital must come from institutional shareholders. These high barriers are intended to ensure only well-capitalized, professional entities enter the space.<\/p>\n
Beyond setting high entry costs, the government is signaling a crackdown on the informal market. Once the official onshore exchanges begin operations, authorities may block access to unlicensed international platforms. This policy shift makes a local partnership essential for foreign firms like OKX and HashKey to maintain a compliant presence in the country.<\/p>\n
Growing adoption meets increased oversight<\/h2>\n
Chainalysis ranked Vietnam fourth globally for crypto adoption in 2025. However, the market has struggled with significant fraud.\u00a0<\/p>\n
In March 2026, police detained several individuals linked to the ONUS platform. Investigators allege the group used deceptive promotions and price manipulation to steal billions of dollars from investors.<\/p>\n
By integrating with VPBank\u2019s network, CAEX looks to position itself as a stable alternative to the offshore platforms that currently dominate the local landscape. The company confirmed it is now in the final stages of finalizing its 10 trillion dong capital base to meet the January pilot criteria.<\/p>\n
