TCEX Paid-in Capital Rises to VND 10 Trillion
Vietnamese digital asset exchange TCEX has raised its paid-in charter capital to VND 10 trillion, meeting the minimum capital requirement for Vietnam’s digital asset market pilot. It must still audit the capital contributions, complete its operating procedures and submit a second-round application. It has not yet received an operating license.
Techcom Crypto Asset Exchange Joint Stock Company (TCEX) has completed a capital increase, bringing its paid-in charter capital to VND 10 trillion. This meets the minimum capital requirement for the digital asset market pilot under Vietnamese Government Resolution No. 05/2025/NQ-CP. It is one condition for applying for a license; TCEX still needs to complete further procedures.
Founding shareholder Techcom Securities Joint Stock Company (TCBS) held a 9.9% stake when TCEX was established. On November 5, 2026, the TCBS board approved a plan to purchase up to 109,970,300 additional ordinary shares in TCEX. Following the capital increase, TCBS’s contribution reached VND 1.1 trillion, giving it an 11% stake. TokenBay, a Vietnamese organization with an independent credit rating, holds 88.9%, while other shareholders collectively hold the remaining 0.1%.
Earlier in the application process, the Ministry of Finance confirmed on May 4, 2026, that TCEX’s first-round submission was complete and valid. In October 2026, the Cybersecurity Department under Vietnam’s Ministry of Public Security reviewed and approved TCEX’s proposal for level 4 information system security. These steps do not mean the exchange has received an operating license.
TCEX General Director Ngô Duy Biên said the new capital would be used to develop trading and custody infrastructure, its technical team and risk management capabilities. The company plans to control its core systems, including order matching, custody and trade surveillance, and to serve customers in the Techcombank and TCBS ecosystem once licensed. He said attracting trading funds back to Vietnam requires protecting customer assets and maintaining liquidity. TCEX will next audit the capital contributions, complete its operating procedures and submit its second-round application materials as required.
