#越南试点加密资产市场
Foretelling the regional regulatory outlook for “Vietnam’s official entry into the compliant crypto trading market”
So far, 5 applicant companies have passed the first round of review, but no actual licenses have been issued yet, so there is still a gap before large-scale capital can move in.
Over the past year, crypto asset inflows to Vietnam have already exceeded $200 billion, up about 55%. This shows the market isn’t being conjured out of thin air—it’s channeling previously huge gray-market trading volumes into formal pipelines.
Meanwhile, there hasn’t been much trading activity on the asset side in response to this news: $BTC recently surged to $81,455 before pulling back, while $ETH is around $2,450. At the same time, the U.S. spot BTC ETF still saw net inflows of more than $900 million for the week, suggesting that the core driver of the current big trend remains U.S. dollar liquidity and institutional funds—not Vietnam.
This is just a bonus to the Southeast Asia compliance narrative, not a piece of news that can directly pump the market. What’s really worth watching is who gets the license next, and whether trading volume can migrate from underground markets. By the way, CAEX, backed by OKX and HashKey, has already placed a bet in advance. And for a single platform, the capital threshold is about $380 million—this is arguably more informative than the headline itself.
