BitcoinVN

BitcoinVN launched in December 2013 as Vietnams first cryptocurrency exchange and is still operated by its original Vietnamese-German founding team: Nguyen Tran Bao Phuong, Dominik Weil, Alex Winter, and Phil Trinh. Incorporated as CTY TNHH BVN STAR in District 4, Ho Chi Minh City, it has operated continuously through every major crypto cycle since 2013.

The platform offers instant swaps across 103 cryptocurrency assets on over 20 blockchain networks, including Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, Tron, Polygon, Binance Smart Chain, Arbitrum, Optimism, and Avalanche. No sign-up is required for small transactions. Larger or OTC orders trigger KYC under a Level 2/4 policy per KYCnot.me. Standard fee is 0.20% (VIP 0.10%). VND withdrawals cost 10,000 VND flat. Trust score 74/100. Restricted for US, Iran, Cuba, and North Korea residents.

Vietnamese users can deposit and withdraw VND via VietinBank, Vietcombank, and MBBank, or at cash offices in Ho Chi Minh City, Hanoi, and Hoi An. BitcoinVN operates Vietnams largest Bitcoin ATM network in Ho Chi Minh City, making it among the most accessible fiat-crypto bridges in a market where global card rails are unreliable.

Additional services include: a top-50 global Lightning Network routing node by channel capacity; authorized reseller status for Trezor, Ledger, and Blockstream hardware wallets; a SOL and DAI staking pool (expanded May 2026 to add DOGE swap support); and a public API for business integrations. In June 2026 the company integrated with B2P Central and invested in Flowrate for institutional Bitcoin liquidity.

For Solana users, BitcoinVN offers direct SOL swaps, a SOL staking pool, and Solana network settlement, providing Vietnamese participants a locally-grounded path into the Solana ecosystem. The company also publishes a blog covering Bitcoin and crypto developments from a Southeast Asian perspective.
