OKX Invests in Vietnamese Exchange CAEX Amid Government Regulation Push

OKX Ventures has invested in Vietnam Prosperity Crypto Asset Exchange Joint Stock Company (CAEX) alongside HashKey Capital and Vietnamese shareholders VPBank Securities and LynkiD. This strategic investment will help CAEX meet Vietnam's minimum charter capital requirement of approximately USD 380 million, which is a key threshold for participating in the government's pilot program for regulated crypto asset trading.

The investment, along with HashKey Capital and other shareholders, will inject capital into CAEX in April 2026. This move positions CAEX to potentially become one of the early players in Vietnam's regulated crypto trading environment, combining local expertise with global crypto know-how.

Vietnam has one of the world's most active retail crypto markets, and the government is moving toward formal regulation via a controlled pilot scheme under Resolution No. 05/2025/NQ-CP. CAEX aims to become a compliant, locally rooted platform with international standards.
