Crypto law

So how did we get here? The Vietnamese government’s been warming up to crypto.

In March, Deputy Finance Minister Nguyen Duc Chi dropped some heavy news, Vietnam’s launching a pilot program to let fintech and crypto firms test out crypto waters.

The State Bank of Vietnam laid down the legal groundwork too, setting up rules to make crypto assets legit.

The pilot’s set for international financial hubs in the country, and don’t get it twisted, likely multiple exchanges will get their shot.

But Military Bank’s project? This could be the first regulated exchange under the new, official framework. That’s like going legit at the capo level after years in the shadows.

Boosting the financial sector

Imagine this like an episode from an office sitcom, where new management rolls in and suddenly everything’s official, but the stakes just got higher.

The team’s got to show they mean business. For Vietnam, the goal’s clear, open the doors for investment, protect the players, and make crypto a trusted part of the financial scene.

The new exchange promises to blend trust, regulation, and cutting-edge tech, all the buzzwords you can imagine, powered by Dunamu’s experience from Upbit’s massive success.

It’s a big play. And if all goes well, Vietnam’s financial scene might get a serious boost, welcoming crypto into the mainstream with open arms and green lights.
