Vietnam dropping licenses for crypto service providers in 2026

Deputy Finance Minister just confirmed it. First wave of regulated exchanges and platforms coming online.

- Local exchange plays getting institutional backing
- Cross-border liquidity flows into APAC
- Regulatory arbitrage plays vs stricter markets

SEA is quietly becoming the most crypto-forward region. Don't sleep on it.
