The Vietnam column is checked live against each exchange's restricted-country list.
Bitget is our top pick for traders in Vietnam who want low fees, a very large choice of coins and tools that help newer traders, such as copy trading and a demo account. Crypto is restricted in Vietnam, and only companies licensed by the Ministry of Finance may offer crypto services, with trades settled in dong.
The exchanges below are offshore platforms, not Vietnamese-licensed providers. That makes the practical details important: how you get money in and out, what each trade costs, which coins and products you can use, and how well each exchange has handled security problems.
Bitget pairs a big market with some of the best tools for people still learning: 507 coins on spot, futures on 478 assets, copy trading, trading bots and a demo account. You can practise with virtual funds or follow experienced traders before risking your own money. It also offers P2P trading, staking and crypto loans.
Vietnam's pilot lets only Ministry of Finance-licensed firms offer crypto services, and Bitget is an offshore exchange outside that system, so no Vietnamese regulator stands behind your account. You can deposit by bank transfer, card, Apple Pay, Google Pay or crypto, but withdrawals only go out as crypto, SEPA or Pix, so there is no direct way to send dong back to a Vietnamese bank.
Spot trades cost 0.1% for makers and takers, futures cost 0.02% on limit orders and 0.06% at market, and identity verification is mandatory. Launched in 2018 by co-founder Sandra Lou, Bitget is based in Singapore and run by CEO Gracy Chen. The pressing risk is a recent theft from some of its hot and warm wallets: withdrawals are suspended during the investigation, so anything you deposit could be stuck for now, though Bitget says cold wallets and user balances are safe and its protection fund covers the loss.
Key points
Liquidity is Binance's biggest draw: its order books are among the deepest in crypto, so even large orders fill close to the price you see. On top of that come 507 spot coins, futures on 525 assets, options, copy trading, bots, P2P, staking and a demo mode.
Binance operates from abroad without a Vietnamese licence, meaning any dispute is between you and the company, with no local authority to step in. It takes deposits by bank transfer, card, Google Pay, P2P and crypto, and pays out by bank transfer, SEPA, Zen or crypto.
Spot trades carry a flat 0.1% whichever side you're on, while futures run 0.02% with a limit order or 0.05% with a market order, and you must pass KYC before trading or withdrawing. Co-founded in 2017 by Changpeng Zhao, Binance is based in the Cayman Islands and led by CEO Richard Teng. Its interface is built for experienced traders and can slow down during sharp swings, so beginners may struggle and orders can lag right when prices move fastest.
Key points
For anyone who wants more than crypto, Bybit offers the broadest trading menu: futures on 577 assets with up to 100x leverage, options, and contracts on stocks, forex, indices and commodities from one account. That saves you opening a second broker account, though leveraged products can wipe out a deposit quickly.
No Ministry of Finance approval covers Bybit, which leaves you relying on its own policies rather than Vietnamese rules. It has a large P2P marketplace, and you can fund your account with a bank transfer, a card, Apple Pay, Google Pay or crypto, while withdrawals go out by bank transfer, SEPA, Zen, Pix or crypto.
You pay 0.1% on spot whichever side of the trade you take and, on futures, 0.02% as a maker versus 0.055% as a taker; KYC is required. Ben Zhou co-founded Bybit in 2018 and still runs it as CEO from Dubai. Its biggest scar is a major hack in February 2025; Bybit recovered all users' funds, but it shows even the largest platforms can be breached, so don't leave more there than you are trading.
Key points
OKX is built for derivatives traders: futures on 485 assets cost 0.02% if your order waits on the book and 0.05% if it fills straight away, with up to 125x leverage, options and portfolio margin. Active futures traders keep costs low, and a demo mode and copy trading help you get started.
OKX is not among the providers Vietnam's pilot recognises, so your protection comes from OKX alone. It has more withdrawal routes than any other exchange here, including bank transfer, card, PayPal, P2P and crypto, and deposits work by bank transfer, card, P2P and crypto.
KYC is mandatory before you can use the platform. OKX launched in 2017, is based in Seychelles and is run by co-founder and CEO Star Xu. The catch is spot trading at 0.2% for makers and 0.35% for takers, so if you mainly buy and hold coins, each trade costs noticeably more than on Bitget, Binance or Bybit.
Key points
Nothing here is cheaper or lists more coins: MEXC charges 0% to spot makers and 0.05% to takers, while futures run 0% when you post an order to the book and 0.02% when it fills instantly. You get 1,320 spot coins, futures on 614 assets and up to 200x leverage, and new tokens often appear here first. Many small coins trade thinly, though, so check the order book before buying.
MEXC works outside Vietnam's licensing regime and faces regulatory uncertainty generally, so if something goes wrong there is nobody local to complain to. Deposits work by bank transfer, card, PayPal, Apple Pay, Google Pay, providers such as MoonPay and crypto, and withdrawals by bank transfer, SEPA, Pix or crypto.
KYC is required for every account. Co-founded by John Chen, who is also CEO, MEXC launched in 2018 and is based in Singapore. The serious risk is its reputation: there are many reported cases of MEXC withholding customer funds, so you could struggle to withdraw and should keep only what you are actively trading there.
Key points
Trust is Kraken's strength: it has been running longer than almost any other exchange, publishes proof of reserves, and when a security firm exploited a bug in 2024, the money was returned and no customer assets were affected. It also lists 679 spot coins, more than every exchange here except MEXC, plus futures on 177 assets with up to 50x leverage.
Kraken's approvals in other countries don't extend to Vietnam, so trading there puts you outside local oversight. Money goes in via bank transfer, card, PayPal, Apple Pay, Google Pay or crypto and comes out through bank transfer, card, PayPal, Apple Pay or crypto, but you won't find a P2P marketplace, copy trading or bots.
Resting futures orders pay 0.02%, orders that fill immediately pay 0.05%, and KYC is required. Kraken was co-founded in 2011 by Jesse Powell, is based in San Francisco, USA and is run by CEO David Ripley. The drawback is spot pricing: makers pay 0.4% and takers 0.8%, among the highest here, so frequent spot trading gets expensive fast.
Key points
Coinbase is made for first-time buyers: the app is very simple, most customer assets sit in cold storage and it publishes proof of reserves. It lists 402 spot coins and offers futures on 131 assets capped at 10x leverage, which limits how much one bad trade can cost you.
Coinbase's strong US regulation doesn't cover Vietnam, so no local authority oversees your account. Deposits work by card, PayPal, SEPA or crypto, and withdrawals by bank transfer, SEPA, ACH, SWIFT or crypto; you can't trade P2P, copy other traders, run bots or practise on a demo account.
Every futures trade is charged 0.05%, whether your order adds liquidity or takes it, and identity checks are required. Coinbase was co-founded in 2012 by Brian Armstrong, who runs it as CEO, and it operates as a remote company with no fixed headquarters. The trade-off is spot pricing, with 0.4% charged on maker orders and 0.6% on taker orders, so regular buying costs several times more than on Bitget or Binance.
Key points
Bit2Me keeps things plain: a spot-only exchange with 192 coins and a debit card, and no futures or leverage to tempt you into risky bets. That suits someone who only wants to buy and hold.
As a Spanish company with no Vietnamese licence, Bit2Me leaves you without any local protection. Beyond basic buying and selling it offers the least here: you can't trade P2P with other users, copy traders, run bots, stake or practise in demo mode.
KYC is required, and it keeps coins in cold storage. Bit2Me launched in 2014 in Elche, Spain; Leif Ferreira and Andrei Manuel co-founded it, and Leif Ferreira and Koh Onozawa Martinez run it as co-CEOs. The main risk is that Bit2Me doesn't publish proof of reserves, so you can't check that customer deposits are fully backed.

Our editorial team selected, tested and ranked the best crypto exchanges for traders in Vietnam. We weighed each exchange as a whole package rather than on any single feature. The order is our editors’ overall judgment, while the CWR Score on each card rates that exchange on its own, so an exchange placed lower can carry a higher score.
Crypto is restricted in Vietnam. Under Government Resolution 05/2025, a five-year pilot market began on 9 September 2025: only companies licensed by the Ministry of Finance may provide crypto services or advertise crypto, and all trades must be settled in Vietnamese dong. Vietnamese investors who already own crypto may open accounts with a licensed provider to hold, buy and sell it.
No licensed platform was operating in mid-August 2026, when the State Securities Commission said five companies had approval in principle but still had to meet security and 10 trillion dong capital requirements. Six months after the first provider is licensed, Vietnamese investors who trade crypto outside licensed platforms can be fined 15 million to 25 million dong under Decree 284/2026 or, in serious cases, prosecuted.
In Vietnam, individuals who sell crypto through a crypto-asset service provider licensed under the pilot pay personal income tax of 0.1% of the sale price on each transfer, whether or not they live in Vietnam. The tax is charged on the sale value, not the profit, and crypto transfers are not subject to VAT.
The licensed provider deducts the tax and issues an annual electronic withholding certificate. These rules come from Finance Ministry Circulars 32/2026 and 41/2026, and official summaries of them only cover transfers through licensed providers.
This is a general overview, not tax advice. Tax rules change and depend on your situation, so check with the Tax Department (Cục Thuế) of the Ministry of Finance or a tax adviser before you file.
Official sources, checked September 2026: Government news portal: tax policy for crypto assets (Circular 32/2026/TT-BTC); Government news portal: tax filing and withholding on the crypto market (Circular 41/2026/TT-BTC); Government news portal: Resolution 05/2025/NQ-CP on the crypto market pilot.
In practice, the only lawful way to use crypto services in Vietnam is through a company licensed by the Ministry of Finance, with trades settled in dong. When the regulator last reported, no licensed platform had started operating, so there is not yet a local exchange you can use within the rules.
The exchanges on this page are offshore platforms, not licensed Vietnamese providers. Using one means your money sits with a foreign company, outside Vietnamese oversight, and once licensed platforms open, trading elsewhere will put you at legal risk. If you already hold crypto, the pilot lets you move it to a licensed provider when one is available.
Bitget offers traders in Vietnam the best overall mix of low fees, coin choice and learning tools, but its current withdrawal suspension means you should check it has reopened before sending any money. Binance and Bybit are strong alternatives with deep markets, OKX suits futures traders, and Kraken and Coinbase charge more for spot trades in return for a longer track record or a simpler app. Crypto is restricted in Vietnam and only licensed providers may offer services, so weigh the legal position before using any offshore exchange.
Crypto is restricted in Vietnam. Under a five-year pilot, only companies licensed by the Ministry of Finance may provide or advertise crypto services, and all trades must be settled in Vietnamese dong. People who already own crypto may open accounts with a licensed provider to hold, buy and sell it. In mid-August 2026 no licensed platform was operating yet. Six months after the first provider is licensed, trading outside licensed platforms can lead to fines or, in serious cases, prosecution.
The pilot expects dong trading to run through licensed providers funded by dong bank transfer. The exchanges here are offshore platforms outside that system, and they take cards, bank transfers, P2P or crypto instead. Getting money back into a Vietnamese bank account can be awkward, especially on Bitget, which only pays out as crypto, SEPA or Pix.
MEXC charges nothing on spot limit orders and has the lowest futures fees of any exchange here. The trade-off is serious: there are many reported cases of MEXC withholding customer funds, so you could struggle to withdraw. Bitget, Binance and Bybit charge a little more but have better reputations.
Bitget suits beginners who want to learn, thanks to its demo account and copy trading. Coinbase has the simplest app and caps leverage at a lower level, but its spot fees are high. Kraken also has a beginner-friendly interface and a strong security record.
Crypto gains can be taxable in Vietnam. See "How is crypto taxed in Vietnam?" above for the details.
Kraken has the strongest record: it has operated for longer than nearly all its rivals, publishes proof of reserves, and when a security firm exploited a bug in 2024, the money was returned and no customer assets were affected. Bybit suffered a major hack in 2025 but recovered all users' funds. Bitget currently has withdrawals suspended after a theft from its hot and warm wallets, and Bit2Me publishes no proof of reserves, so you can't check that deposits are fully backed.
