Bybit, the world’s second-largest cryptocurrency exchange by trading volume, reaffirmed its commitment to supporting Vietnam’s responsible digital asset development following a high-level meeting between Ben Zhou, Co-founder and CEO of Bybit, and Deputy Prime Minister Nguyễn Văn Thắng at the Government Headquarters in Hanoi.
The meeting marks the second official engagement between Bybit and Vietnamese authorities within the past year, reflecting continued dialogue as Vietnam advances its regulatory framework for digital assets and virtual asset markets.
The discussions followed the Government’s issuance of Resolution No. 05/2025/NQ-CP, which established a pilot framework for the country’s crypto-asset market. During the meeting, Deputy Prime Minister Nguyễn Văn Thắng emphasized Vietnam’s balanced regulatory approach toward digital assets — recognizing the sector’s innovation and economic potential while underscoring the importance of investor protection, anti-money laundering safeguards, anti-fraud measures, and transparent market supervision aligned with international standards.
The Deputy Prime Minister noted that Vietnam is actively seeking cooperation with reputable international industry participants to support the development of legal frameworks, supervisory systems, transaction monitoring capabilities, technology infrastructure, and talent training necessary for the safe implementation of the pilot program.
Vietnam also reiterated that participation in the pilot market will be subject to stringent requirements covering capital adequacy, operational track record, technological capability, cybersecurity standards, and international compliance experience.
Ben Zhou welcomed Vietnam’s progress in establishing a structured legal framework for digital assets and reaffirmed Bybit’s long-term commitment to regulatory collaboration and responsible market development.
“Vietnam is taking a forward-looking and measured approach toward digital asset innovation by prioritizing transparency, investor protection, and regulatory readiness from the beginning,” said Ben. “At Bybit, we believe the future of the digital asset industry depends on close collaboration with regulators and institutions. We are honored to continue supporting Vietnam through international best-practice sharing, institutional capacity building, compliance expertise, and talent development as the country builds a secure and globally competitive digital asset ecosystem.”
Bybit also reiterated its readiness to collaborate with Vietnamese stakeholders and local partners in areas including market surveillance, operational governance, risk management frameworks, and workforce training.
Deputy Prime Minister Nguyễn Văn Thắng expressed his expectation that Bybit could become a trusted partner to Vietnamese regulatory agencies during the pilot phase, contributing to the development of a healthy, transparent, and efficient crypto-asset market that balances the interests of the State, investors, and the broader public.
The meeting reflects Vietnam’s accelerating efforts to establish a controlled and internationally aligned regulatory framework for digital assets as the country positions itself as one of Southeast Asia’s emerging digital innovation hubs.
