Vietnam to Get First Licensed Crypto Exchange via Dunamu–MB Bank Partnership

Dunamu, operator of South Korea’s Upbit, is partnering with Vietnam’s state-controlled MB Bank to launch the country’s first licensed cryptocurrency exchange following new legislation legalizing digital assets.

Under the deal, Dunamu will supply technology, infrastructure, and regulatory expertise, while MB Bank leverages its $50 billion in assets and 33 million customers. The venture aims to deliver investor protections and build Vietnam’s digital financial infrastructure on a foundation of trust. Backed by Vietnam’s new Law on Digital Technology Industry, the project positions Dunamu and MB Bank as first movers in the country’s regulated crypto market.
