GOE Alliance Joins VIFC-HCMC as a Strategic Member

Starting from Vietnam to Build a Global Emerging On-Chain Market Network

The Global On-Chain Economy Alliance (GOE Alliance) has been officially recognized as a Strategic Member of the Vietnam International Financial Center – Ho Chi Minh City (VIFC-HCMC), as the center commenced operations on February 11, 2026.

Mr. Nguyen Huu Vu Khoa, representative of the Alliance, receives Strategic Member Certificate from Mr. Nguyen Van Duoc, Chairman of Ho Chi Minh City People's Committee

At the official launch ceremony, VIFC-HCMC announced six strategic members: GOE Alliance, Nam A Bank, HFIC (Ho Chi Minh City Finance and Investment State-owned Company), University of Economics Ho Chi Minh City (UEH), Gemadept, and TikTok. This combination reflects an ecosystem-oriented approach rather than a finance-only initiative. It brings together regulated banking, state-backed investment capacity, academic institutions, logistics infrastructure, and global digital platforms—components that are essential when a financial center moves from concept to implementation.

In parallel, seven founding members of VIFC-HCMC were also introduced: Sovico Group, MBBank (MB), TPBank, SHB, SonKim Capital, VinaCapital, and Nasdaq. This founding structure anchors the initiative with domestic institutional capital while incorporating internationally recognized market infrastructure expertise. Together, the founding and strategic members suggest a deliberate attempt to align capital, operational capability, and global credibility within the VIFC-HCMC framework.

For GOE Alliance, this strategic membership represents more than symbolic participation. It is an opportunity to contribute to the design of an Emerging On-Chain Market (EOM) within a regulated international financial center pathway.

EOM is not a slogan about “crypto adoption.” It is a market-architecture approach. Tokenized assets and programmable financial rails must operate within clearly defined rulebooks, risk boundaries, custody standards, dispute resolution mechanisms, and supervisory-ready operating models. Sustainable on-chain markets require institutional compatibility, measurable pilots, and regulatory alignment—not fragmented experimentation.

VIFC-HCMC provides a unique context. As a newly established international financial center, it has the opportunity to incorporate on-chain market infrastructure from the outset, rather than retrofitting digital assets into legacy systems. This allows for a more coherent integration between capital formation, liquidity development, market infrastructure, and governance design.

Looking ahead, GOE Alliance aims to build a network of Emerging On-Chain Markets globally—starting from VIFC-HCMC. Different jurisdictions may operate under different legal systems and regulatory traditions, but they can share common design principles for on-chain asset creation, liquidity formation, supervisory transparency, and cross-border interoperability.

We welcome financial institutions, regulators, technology builders, academic partners, and capital allocators to join GOE Alliance in shaping this network. Building a resilient global on-chain economy requires collaboration across markets and disciplines.

VIFC-HCMC is the starting point. The broader global EOM network begins here.
