Vietnam Set for Compliant Crypto Exchanges by May 2027
As Vietnam accelerates the development of its digital asset regulatory framework, the compliance process for its domestic cryptocurrency market has reached a pivotal milestone. According to regulatory pilot plans and recent industry updates, approved domestic crypto asset exchanges must complete all technical and compliance preparations by May 2027 to meet official launch standards.
Currently, five organizations that have passed the preliminary evaluation and entered the pilot preparation phase include:
- Vietnam Prosperity Joint Stock Company for Cryptocurrency Asset Exchange (CAEX)
- Sacom Joint Stock Company for Cryptocurrency Asset Exchange (SCEX)
- Techcom Joint Stock Company for Cryptocurrency Asset Exchange (TCEX)
- VIX Joint Stock Company for Cryptocurrency Asset Exchange (VIXEX)
- Vietnam Digital Assets Joint Stock Company (Moonbase)

Risk Warning & Rational Investment: Industry experts urge investors to remain vigilant against fraudulent schemes and high-leverage risks despite the accelerating compliance process.
