Why is CAEX attracting attention from the crypto market?
CAEX has been widely discussed for being one of the first entities to participate in the licensing race during the pilot phase. According to published information, following strategic investments from OKX Ventures and HashKey Capital, the company has met the minimum charter capital requirement of 10,000 billion VND.
This has significant implications for the domestic crypto market. Instead of just a conventional trading platform, CAEX is being seen as a test case for bringing cryptocurrency trading under clearer legal control, risk management, and financial obligations.
What is CAEX?
CAEX stands for Crypto Asset Exchange, whose full name is Vietnam Prosperity Crypto Asset Exchange Joint Stock Company. It is a cryptocurrency trading platform positioned to operate in accordance with legal regulations in Vietnam, rather than following the common model of many international exchanges.【Vietnam Crypto Exchange】
