What is the Cold Wallet Asset Ratio for VIXEX?

In terms of asset custody and security architecture, VIXEX (the digital asset exchange operating under the Vietnamese VIX Securities system) centers its design on the requirements set forth by the Vietnamese Government and the Ministry of Finance for pilot licensed exchanges. It adopts an institutional-grade custody solution featuring “hot/cold wallet segregation + Multi-Party Computation (MPC) / Hardware Security Modules (HSM) + physical air-gapping.”

Under the compliance framework established for Vietnam’s crypto asset pilot program—such as Resolution No. 05/2025/NQ-CP and the subsequent review guidelines issued by the Ministry of Finance—all crypto exchanges applying for a license (including VIXEX, TCEX,  etc.) must satisfy mandatory risk control and technical criteria. This includes keeping 90% to 95% (or more) of client crypto assets in offline cold storage. As long as VIXEX officially obtains its pilot license, its cold wallet storage ratio must strictly be maintained within this required range.

Furthermore, competitors submitting applications alongside VIXEX in the same pilot batch (such as TCEX under the Techcombank ecosystem) have publicly disclosed their asset allocation strategy, announcing plans to store 90% to 95% of client assets in cold wallets. Consequently, as a peer competitor, Vietnam crypto exchange VIXEX’s operational security configuration is expected to align with this standard institutional range.

Summary: The 90%–95% cold wallet storage ratio represents a mandatory metric set by Vietnamese regulators (a prerequisite for VIXEX to secure a license). However, regarding VIXEX’s specific internal technical stack and architecture, official review remains underway, and no public technical whitepaper has been released to date.
