SCEX Exchange Regulatory Status Confirmed: Officially Included in Vietnam’s Compliance Pilot List
With Decree No. 284/2026/NĐ-CP officially taking effect on September 1, 2026, According to the latest review progress released by the Ministry of Finance (MOF) and the State Securities Commission (UBCK) of Vietnam, SCEX exchange has officially passed the government’s initial compliance review and has been included in the national digital asset trading pilot framework. This indicates that SCEX’s operations are now formally governed and guided by Vietnam’s regulatory framework.
Four Core Compliance Requirements
To satisfy regulatory mandates, SCEX exchange is fully aligning with the stringent entry standards established by the Vietnamese government:
- Charter Capital Threshold Verification
Pursuant to applicable regulations, applicant entities must possess a minimum paid-in charter capital of 10 trillion VND (approximately $383 million), fully denominated and paid in Vietnamese Dong.
-
Level 4 Cybersecurity Certification
Prior to obtaining a final operational license, SCEX’s underlying trade matching engine and data center must secure Level 4 Information Security Certification assessed by the Ministry of Public Security (MPS).
-
Anti-Money Laundering (AML) & Know Your Customer (KYC)
SCEX has established direct fiat settlement channels with local banks, strictly enforcing fund segregation while implementing transaction monitoring mechanisms aligned with Vietnam’s Anti-Money Laundering laws.
-
Investor Protection Framework
Platforms operating without a license or failing to enforce proper KYC face substantial administrative penalties. By entering the pilot framework, SCEX safeguards the legitimate rights and interests of local investors.
Shaping a New Local Compliance Landscape
The Ministry of Finance noted that passing the initial review marks a pivotal step toward formal licensing. Bringing SCEX under government supervision enhances platform credibility and capital safety while accelerating Vietnam’s transition from an offshore grey market to a transparent, compliant digital asset landscape.（Vietnam Crypto Exchange）
