A strategic move at the global technology event.
At Token2049, one of the largest international conferences on blockchain technology and digital assets, Star Xu , CEO of OKX Group , shared some noteworthy insights on the long-term development direction.
The head of OKX affirmed that one of the company’s most important decisions in 2026 is establishing a strategic partnership with Vietnam Prosperity Commercial Bank, also known as VPBank, to build the CAEX cryptocurrency trading platform in Vietnam.
This cooperation agreement comes as the Vietnamese financial market is gradually perfecting its pilot framework for digital assets. The partnership between an international trading technology group and a large domestic commercial bank demonstrates the long-term vision and seriousness of both parties in preparing the technical infrastructure, risk management plans, and solutions to protect investor rights when the market officially enters a controlled operational phase.
Three pillars that strengthen international business confidence.
Explaining his decision to expand his presence and investment in Vietnam, Mr. Star Xu expressed strong optimism based on three fundamental factors.
First, the fintech and digital asset sector is witnessing rapid growth globally, as more and more countries establish clear regulations. In Vietnam, authorities approach this sector with stringent standards, high professionalism, and an open mindset towards innovation. This creates a secure legal framework, helping to mitigate risks for the entire financial system and encouraging the development of transparent business models.
Furthermore, the capabilities of domestic partners play a crucial role in attracting international capital. The partnership with VPBank, a reputable financial institution with solid expertise and a strong commitment to regulatory compliance, has provided absolute peace of mind to foreign partners during the technology transfer and construction of the CAEX exchange.
Finally, the appeal of the Vietnamese market also stems from its young, tech-savvy user base with a strong interest in cryptocurrencies. This generation of investors not only participates in trading but also actively contributes ideas to shape the product, thereby creating a vibrant community and driving the progress of the entire industry.

Expectations to contribute to the economic breakthrough.
With favorable institutional conditions, partnerships, and a supportive community, the head of OKX expressed deep confidence that cryptocurrencies will transcend the realm of mere fads in the near future. This sector is expected to gradually establish itself as a crucial component of the digital economy, supporting resource attraction and enhancing the efficiency of capital flows.
The CAEX platform development project between OKX and VPBank is therefore not just a commercial partnership, but also a clear testament to the trend of linking traditional finance with modern technology. This step promises to bring safe, legal, and civilized investment experiences to the people, while making a practical contribution to the overall breakthrough of the Vietnamese economy in the new development phase.（Vietnam Crypto Exchange）
