Vietnam sets May 2027 deadline for licensed crypto exchanges
- —Five firms shortlisted: VIXEX, LPEX, CAEX, TCEX and Vietnam Digital Assets
- —Requirements include 10 trillion dong minimum capital and Level 4 security
- —Final deadline for readiness is May 2027, counting from May 2026
- —Vietnam saw $122.2 billion in crypto activity over the past year, second in ASEAN
