OKX Ventures and HashKey Capital have announced a strategic investment in Prosperity Vietnam Digital Asset Exchange Joint Stock Company (CAEX) to meet the charter capital requirement of 10,000 billion dong for participation in a government pilot.
The investment is intended to bring CAEX’s charter capital to the minimum level of 10,000 billion dong, equivalent to about 380 million USD. This funding would qualify CAEX for the pilot program, which supports regulated operations for digital asset trading.
The capital structure is designed to align with the pilot’s requirements. The program stipulates that at least 65% of the charter capital must come from institutional entities such as banks, securities firms, or technology companies. It also sets a foreign ownership cap of no more than 49%.
OKX and HashKey’s participation is described as a way to address CAEX’s financial scale while also leveraging technical infrastructure, compliance processes, and risk-management systems to global standards.
The announcement comes as major markets including the United States, Europe, and Singapore tighten oversight of digital assets. OKX said its experience holding licenses in Malta under the MiCA framework, as well as money services business certifications in the United States, will be applied in Vietnam.
Representatives from the investing unit said cash flow in the market is shifting from decentralised exchanges to supervised platforms to improve transparency and investor protection.
They also noted that Vietnam is currently regarded as one of the most important liquidity providers for digital assets in Southeast Asia. By 2030, most markets in the region are expected to complete licensing pathways for companies in this sector.
The parties said the focus in the next phase will be completing know-your-customer (KYC), anti-money-laundering (AML), and liquidity-management systems to be ready for official trading activities within the pilot program.
