Vietnam’s crypto trading platform CAEX raised investment from OKX Ventures, HashKey Capital
In order to help the company reach its minimum capital requirement of VND10 trillion ($380 million), Vietnam Prosperity Crypto Asset Exchange Joint Stock Company (CAEX) has signed investment agreements with OKX Ventures and HashKey Capital.
In accordance with the Government’s Resolution 05/2025/NQ-CP, CAEX said in a statement on Friday that the funding from OKX Ventures and HashKey Capital will allow CAEX to take part in Vietnam’s pilot program for regulated crypto asset trading.
Along with founding shareholders VPBank Securities (VPBankS) and LynkiD, the agreements bring OKX Ventures and HashKey Capital into CAEX as strategic partners. April is when the capital contribution is anticipated to be finished.
The collaboration brings together international knowledge of the cryptocurrency industry with domestic financial and technological capabilities. In accordance with regulatory requirements, OKX Ventures and HashKey Capital are expected to work with CAEX on technical infrastructure, security, compliance, risk management, and liquidity connectivity as shareholders and strategic partners.
As a founding member of the VPBank ecosystem, VPBankS continues to play a significant role by providing financial resources, governance, and investment knowledge. LynkiD is another member of the ecosystem that supports CAEX in terms of user experience, digital identity, and core platform infrastructure.
When CAEX was first established in September 2025, its initial charter capital was VND25 billion, according to its business license that is listed on Vietnam’s National Business Registration Portal.
According to CAEX leadership, the collaboration is intended to support the exchange’s adherence to global norms. The partnership was motivated by Vietnam’s expanding digital asset market and changing regulatory environment, according to representatives from OKX Ventures and HashKey Capital.
A resolution to pilot cryptocurrency exchanges in Vietnam for five years was released by the Vietnamese government in September 2025. Approximately ten companies have indicated interest in participating in the program thus far. Leading banks in Vietnam, including Techcombank, VPBank, LPBank, VIX Securities, and Sun Group, have set up operations for the pilot.
