Is Bithumb safe after its history of hacks?

Bithumb experienced two major hacks (2017: $7M, 2018: $31M), but compensated users and significantly improved security. There have been no major hacks in over 6 years. Compared to newer exchanges, it can be considered acceptable. However, we recommend self-custody (e.g., Ledger) for large amounts and not leaving significant funds on any exchange.

Is an MOU different from a formal contract?

Yes. An MOU (Memorandum of Understanding) is a record of intent for cooperation, but it is not a legally binding contract. Bithumb and SSID may proceed to a definitive agreement to form a joint venture, but this is not guaranteed.

When could Bithumb-SSID launch in Vietnam?

It is more likely to launch in 2027 rather than 2026. Time is needed to establish a joint venture, raise 10,000 billion VND in capital, submit a pilot application, and wait for approval. Upbit-MB has an 8-month head start and could launch earlier (late Q3 or Q4 2026).

Should I prioritize CAEX or a Korean partnership exchange?

CAEX has the advantage of an early launch (June 2026) and proven OKX backing. Korean partnerships have the advantage of deep crypto expertise. We recommend testing both upon launch, prioritizing CAEX for the first 6 months (it already has brand recognition in Vietnam) and shifting to a Korean partnership if the UX is superior.

Will Korean exchanges support Vietnamese language?

Yes. Both Upbit and Bithumb already have excellent Korean app interfaces. Their launch in Vietnam will include full Vietnamese localization — UI, customer support, and KYC documents. This is standard for a Vietnamese-licensed pilot exchange.

Cập nhật: 14 tháng 5, 2026

In the race for international crypto exchanges to enter Vietnam, South Korea is taking a strong lead. After Upbit (South Korea's top exchange) partnered with MB Bank in 2025, its competitor Bithumb (South Korea's #2 exchange) responded swiftly by signing an MOU with SSI Digital (SSID), a subsidiary of Vietnam's largest securities firm, SSI Securities. From March to May 2026, SSI Chairman Nguyen Duy Hung held several meetings with Bithumb leadership to advance the partnership. This article analyzes the implications of the Bithumb-SSID MOU, the Korean exchange race in Vietnam, and the opportunities for Vietnamese investors.
