💥💥 The first Vietnamese bank has unveiled its own crypto platform

🔥 Techcombank along with its member securities company Techcom Securities (TCBS) is the first financial institution in Vietnam to officially submit an application for a license to participate in the pilot of the cryptocurrency exchange, right after the Ministry of Finance opened the portal for applications from 20/01/2026.

💎 Key points to know:

✅ TCBS has completed the technological infrastructure & operations, expecting to receive the license in ~3 months and can operate immediately.

✅ The licensing conditions are very strict: a minimum capital of 10,000 billion VND, mainly institutional shareholders, high requirements for personnel & cybersecurity.

✅ A maximum of 5 units will be selected for the pilot phase.

✅ In parallel with crypto, Techcombank–TCBS is also preparing to launch its own brand gold products and research digital/gold derivatives when the legal framework is completed.

📌 Clear signals: digital assets in Vietnam are entering a legitimate phase, with the direct participation of large banks and an increasingly完善的 legal framework.
