CAEX: Connecting Vietnam to Global Crypto Markets Goes Beyond Tech Challenges
Vietnam Prosperity Crypto Asset Exchange Joint Stock Company (CAEX), along with strategic shareholder OKX, participated in the Vietnam Digital Financial Security Forum 2026, where CAEX shared its perspective on the development of the domestic crypto asset market and the need to build infrastructure connecting with the global market.
The Vietnam Digital Financial Security Forum 2026, organized by the National Cyber Security Association (NCA), took place over two days, November 6th and 7th, and included discussion sessions, panel talks, and an exhibition area.
The event brought together representatives from regulatory agencies, financial institutions, banks, fintech companies, technology businesses, and experts in digital finance, cybersecurity, and innovation, aiming to create a multi-faceted exchange space on the development of the digital finance sector in Vietnam.
During discussions on market development at the forum, Chris Chiew, CEO of CAEX, offered insights into connectivity infrastructure and platforms that enable Vietnamese users to access the global cryptocurrency market.
In his presentation “Connecting Global Crypto Asset Markets with Vietnam’s Financial Infrastructure,” the CAEX CEO addressed the need to build infrastructure that aligns with the development of the domestic market, thereby expanding connectivity with international markets.
Drawing on the realities of peer-to-peer (P2P) trading in Vietnam, with its risks related to funds, fraud, and difficulties in dispute resolution, CAEX leaders believe that connecting banks with licensed cryptocurrency exchanges can increase the traceability of funds, contributing to investor protection and assisting authorities in monitoring transactions. This is also the direction CAEX is pursuing in the process of building a cryptocurrency exchange in Vietnam.
Building upon this foundation, CAEX aims to act as a two-way bridge, supporting Vietnamese users in accessing the global market while also facilitating access for real-world assets in Vietnam to international investors in the future. To realize this vision, the company focuses on five pillars: banking connectivity, asset custody and protection, market monitoring, investor protection, and research into real-world asset tokenization.
“Connecting Vietnam to the global cryptocurrency market is not just a technological challenge. It’s a financial infrastructure challenge, requiring coordination between regulatory bodies, banks, technology partners, and service providers,” shared Chris Chiew.
In addition to the forum’s presentations, CAEX, in collaboration with its strategic partner OKX, introduced an exhibition booth with the message “Crypto asset exchange launching soon: Pioneering, Transparent, Secure,” creating an opportunity for the public to directly learn about the exchange and CAEX’s development direction.
At the booth, visitors can participate in interactive Q&A sessions, check in, and exchange ideas with the consulting team to learn about CAEX, its technology platform, strategic shareholders, as well as knowledge about crypto assets and information security. Combining experiential activities with branded gifts, the booth helps make these topics more accessible and relatable to the public.
Based on a compliance-based approach (regulated by design), and with the support of domestic and foreign shareholders, CAEX has increased its charter capital to VND 10,000 billion, meeting the requirements of Resolution 05. It is also one of the first units to be assessed and approved by the Cyber Security Department (Ministry of Public Security) for Level 4 Information System Security certification.
In the coming period, CAEX will continue to refine its technological components, business processes, and operational capabilities, while coordinating with competent authorities to fully meet the conditions for participating in the pilot program. The provision of cryptocurrency trading services will be implemented after the company meets the relevant legal requirements and is granted a license.
