APAC DAO Ecosystem Highlights: The Vietnam International Financial Centre opens its Fintech Hub – and it’s a sandbox, not a building
The Fintech Hub, one of four strategic pillars of the Vietnam International Financial Centre in HCMC — launched on April 14, 2026, as a platform linking banks, businesses and investors under a regulatory sandbox mechanism. Six core technology pillars are under development: application infrastructure, real-time data systems, RegTech, central clearing, an international-standard data centre, and blockchain-based asset digitalisation.
Fintech Hub was launched alongside HDBank and Galaxy Holdings – the same institution behind last year’s hackathon that put Vietnamese builders in front of regulators. The story compounds.
