From Hanoi to the World: GM Vietnam 2025 Leads Asia’s Blockchain Revolution

Hanoi just hosted one of the most powerful blockchain weeks of the year. GM Vietnam 2025 – Southeast Asia’s premier event for blockchain, digital assets, and investment technology – took over the National Convention Center on August 1–2, attracting 20,000+ attendees from around the world.

Co-hosted by Kyros Ventures & SSI Digital (SSID), and officially patronized by the National Cybersecurity Association (NCA), the event marked a strategic turning point in Vietnam’s rise as a digital economy powerhouse.

Backed by the newly ratified National Blockchain Strategy and Digital Technology Industry Law, Vietnam is accelerating toward a future defined by digital leadership. GM Vietnam 2025 arrived at a pivotal moment – not just another Web3 conference, but a statement of the country’s ambition to lead Southeast Asia’s digital transformation.

The event was made possible thanks to the support of 37 sponsors, including Sui, BingX, MEXC, Aptos, Gate, TRON, Holdstation, Tether, ATX, Polkadot, Meta Earth, U2U Network, Manta, CoinEx, BITGP, AID, HTX, UniLive, HyperX, Solar Chain, Goldsun Media, NEO, Scallop, BTSE, Bitunix, D’CENT, Coinsilium, io.net, HashKey Exchange, Momentum, HiBT, Bullbit, Sogni, Tezos, TopCV, NewBit, and Humanity Protocol.

Rather than simply showcasing industry trends, the event became a crossroads for regulations, capital investment, and the latest innovations, where blockchain was positioned not just as technology, but as infrastructure for the modern digital economy.
