Dunamu, the operator of the first cryptocurrency exchange in South Korea Upbit, united his forces with the public military bank in Vietnam (MB Bank) to launch the country’s first license digital active exchange (1). The partnership was officially announced on August 12, 2025, during a Korea – Vietnam sales forum in Seoul (2). This collaboration represents an important step in the continuous efforts of Vietnam to regulate its market for rapidly growing cryptocurrencies, which currently supports more than 20 million users who negotiate on international platforms (3).
Under the terms of the agreement, Dunamu will be responsible for providing the technological infrastructure and compliance executives necessary for the new exchange (4). Meanwhile, MB Bank, who has a clientele of 33 million and assets approaching $ 50 billion, will manage regulatory and operational monitoring (5). This arrangement takes advantage of Dunamu’s global experience in the management of high volume trading platforms and the strong institutional presence of MB Bank in Vietnam.
The project is aligned with recent legislative progress, including the adoption of the law on digital technology industry in July 2025, which provides a legal basis for digital asset activities and promotes the development of an internal market (7). The initiative should create a secure and regulated commercial environment which supports both the demand and the institutional demand for digital assets (6). Dunamu CEO, Oh Kyoung-Suk, underlined the potential of the Vietnam market, expressing the possibility of building a complete digital financial system beyond negotiation (8). Likewise, the president of MB Bank, Luu Trung Thai, described the partnership as a strategic decision to strengthen the bank’s position in digital finance and support the broader economic transformation of Vietnam (9).
The new exchange should improve institutional confidence and promote long -term market development in Vietnam (10). It also reflects a broader trend of cross -border collaboration in the cryptography sector, in particular in regions where regulatory clarity and infrastructure are still evolving. Although no official launch date has been provided, the two parties expressed optimism On the potential of the platform to stimulate innovation and security in the cryptographic landscape of Vietnam (11).
This partnership not only strengthens Dunamu’s international footprint, but also strengthens the role of MB Bank in the digital financial ecosystem of Vietnam (12). While regulatory executives and technological infrastructure continue to improve, Vietnam is well placed to emerge as a regional leader in the adoption of digital assets (13).
