✅ @DealStreetAsia recently featured an interview where I shared my thoughts on Vietnam’s move to regulate digital asset trading.
With Resolution 05/2025 in place, domestic trading must go through licensed exchanges - bringing transparency, investor protection, and stronger oversight. Major financial institutions like SSI, Techcom, VPBank, and MB are stepping in, proving that only those with real capital, governance, and technology will stay in the game.
This will shift fund flows from “grey” to “white”, opening the door for institutional capital and creating a more disciplined market.
At the same time, without controlled flexibility such as allowing stablecoins alongside VND like in Korea, Vietnam risks being out of sync with the global market, where stablecoins account for over 70% of all transactions.
I believe the future lies in combining the prudence of financial institutions with the innovation of builders, so Vietnam can develop a digital asset market that is both safe and globally aligned.
SSI invested in U2U Network, signed MOUs with three global players - AWS, Tether, and VanEck, all to develop the Vietnam domestic market.
In her interview with VietTimes, U2U Network’s CEO emphasized that this is not a “temporary wave” but a cycle of legitimization. Under Resolution 05, the game will be led by major financial and technology institutions, where only those with real capital, infrastructure, and risk management can remain.
Vietnam has already surpassed $200 billion in digital asset transactions last year (Chainalysis 2025), ranking among the top 3 countries globally in investment profits. Such a massive flow of capital must move into transparent and compliant systems – and this is where U2U, together with global partners, plays a pivotal role in shaping new standards for the market.
“Fewer but stronger” – U2U’s CEO on Vietnam’s new digital asset game. Full story here: https://t.co/MWGYnDak6f
First Vietnamese startup ever to keynote next to global tech giants at AWS Cloud Day, AWS’s annual flagship event on cloud, AI & innovation.
We’re proud to collaborate and be highly valued by a U.S billion-dollar giant like AWS in just 3 years. We believe this collaboration will continue to set new standards for digital infrastructure and accelerate the adoption of decentralized technologies worldwide.
That same commitment is reflected in the VietBUIDL Hackathon - a leading stage that empowers the next generation of Web3 builders, hosted by SSID and U2U Network, powered by AWS. Biggest in SEA, $4M prize pool.
Nearly 200 projects are joining, don’t miss your chance:

My note to all teams: don’t just chase cool ideas, make sure you’re solving a real problem.
Show us your progress, your code, your vision.
Short-term hustle is great, but long-term clarity is what will set you apart. Can’t wait to see your magic on stage ✨
GM builders!

Few partnerships redefine a market. @SSID_Digital ✕ @vaneck_us does.
U2U Network is proud to be part of SSID’s ecosystem - contributing to financial growth, innovation, and the future of Vietnam’s digital economy.
Partnering with VanEck - one of the first global asset managers to launch Bitcoin & Ethereum ETFs, with over $137.7 billion in assets under management - SSI reaffirms its leadership and underscores Vietnam’s ambition to develop a robust digital asset market that meets global standards.
With SSID as SSI’s strategic digital arm and U2U’s high-performance Layer-1 built for real-world adoption, Vietnam is building the backbone of its digital asset market - and U2U stands at the core of this transformation.

In the race to scale Ethereum, we’ve created dozens of Layer-2s, appchains, and rollups. But sometimes I wonder: "Are we solving scalability, or just creating new silos?"
At U2U, we’ve chosen a different path: not more chains, but a more adaptive base layer. Our DAG-based Layer-1 and Subnet architecture aim to offer scalability without fragmenting the user or developer experience 🪩
🛠️ As a builder, I care less about buzzwords like “modular” or “monolithic” and more about:
• Can users onboard easily, without switching wallets every time?
• Can devs deploy once and reach real users?
• Can ecosystems grow sustainably without relying on endless airdrops?
I’m excited to explore these questions with fellow builders and researchers at GM Vietnam 2025. Whether it’s consolidation or diversity, the real winner will be usability.
See you at the panel. 🔥
