Vietnam's first licensed crypto exchange has not opened yet, but money is already moving into infrastructure, custody, compliance, security, liquidity and bank integration.
Vietnam has recognised crypto assets and launched a regulated market pilot. Legal clarity creates a route into the market, but operational readiness determines who can use it.
Most founders think a well-placed article or a viral tweet is enough to earn market trust. It isn't. Three years running PR for Web3 and crypto projects taught me trust is slower and less forgiving than that.
A lesson from working at a crypto exchange taught me why deliberate legal risk can cost far more than a failed campaign, and how I apply that lesson at BlockPR.
