Introduction: Vietnam's Booming Crypto Market Demands Next-Gen Security
Vietnam's cryptocurrency market is surging, driven by 68% of young investors (18-35) seeking high returns amid inflationary pressures [Vietnam National Bank, 2025]. However, regulatory scrutiny and security breaches—such as the 2024 Hanoi Exchange Hack—highlight critical gaps in blockchain infrastructure. As Vietnam’s central bank tightens oversight through its 2025 Digital Asset Regulation Framework, institutional trading platforms like HIBT are stepping in to bridge compliance gaps and deliver enterprise-grade security solutions.
1. Vietnam’s Regulatory Landscape: Balancing Innovation and Compliance
1.1 2025 Regulatory Milestones
Vietnam’s State Bank mandated ISO 27001 certifications for all crypto exchanges in Q2 2025, requiring platforms to adopt zero-knowledge proofs (ZKPs) for anonymous yet compliant transactions [SBV Report, 2025]. This mirrors global trends, such as FATF’s Travel Rule, but adds localized requirements like government-mandated KYC updates every 90 days.
