According to the cooperation content, OKX will accompany VPBank in strategic consulting, operating experience sharing and providing technology solutions, as well as connecting liquidity in accordance with current regulations, for the digital asset trading platform of Vietnam Prosperity Crypto Asset Trading Joint Stock Company (CAEX) - a member of the VPBank ecosystem.

In which, VPBank plays the role of a domestic partner with advantages in a comprehensive financial ecosystem, market understanding and operational capacity, while OKX brings advanced knowledge and technology, management experience and deployment in the field of encrypted assets in many major markets around the world.
