Aeternum brings the second edition of Unchained Summit to Vietnam on May 28-29

Da Nang, Vietnam, May 27, 2026 - Aeternum, organisers of the Unchained Summit series, will host the second edition of Unchained Summit Vietnam this week on May 28 and 29 at the Furama Resort in Da Nang. The event is co-hosted by the Da Nang Innovation Start Support Center (DISSC), with institutional participation from the Da Nang People’s Committee, the State Securities Commission of Vietnam, and the Da Nang Department of Science and Technology.

The summit brings together founders, investors, exchanges, infrastructure providers, enterprise leaders, and policymakers from across the Asia-Pacific region and beyond. Its second edition arrives as Vietnam’s digital asset sector moves from early-stage experimentation to active policy development; a shift reflected in the depth of government engagement the event has attracted.

Day 1: Thursday, 28 May

Day 1 opens with remarks from Mr. Nguyen Viet Toan, Director of the Da Nang Innovation Startup Support Center, setting the stage for two days of discussions around digital assets, blockchain infrastructure, and emerging technologies in Vietnam. The programme then moves into a keynote from Mr. To Tran Hoa of the State Securities Commission of Vietnam on the country’s regulatory direction for digital assets. David Rogers, CEO Asia-Pacific at B2C2, examines what recent market events mean for the region, and a fireside chat with Hoang Viet Anh, CEO of LPBank Securities, and Mr. Vo Duc Anh, Deputy Director of the Da Nang Innovation Startup Support Center, covers Vietnam’s Digital Asset Future. The afternoon moves through institutional digital asset markets with Tether, Anchorage Digital, and BNY Investments.

The second day opens with remarks from Mr. Ho Quang Buu, Vice Chairman of the Da Nang People's Committee, before turning to AI and blockchain convergence, with a fireside chat from Alex Svanevik, CEO of Nansen, on on-chain intelligence, and a session with Olivier Vigna, CEO of PARIS Europlace, on Europe's regulatory approach to digital assets. Web3 gaming features, Sky Mavis, CCP Games, and Animoca Brands. The afternoon covers venture capital allocation, scalable infrastructure, and a fireside chat with Marianne Jarlaud of France's Autorité des Marchés Financiers on tokenisation and AI in regulated markets. Justin Kim of Ava Labs closes with a keynote on real-world blockchain adoption across enterprises, finance, and digital infrastructure.

Closed-door roundtables

On the afternoon of Day 1, an invite-only executive roundtable titled Vietnam’s Path to a Trusted Digital Asset Ecosystem will bring together 17 selected delegates from government, digital asset exchanges, financial institutions, infrastructure providers, and regulators at the Furama Resort. The session focuses on regulatory readiness, institutional participation, market infrastructure, and cross-border collaboration.

On Day 2, a second invite-only strategic roundtable and delegation visit, under the theme "Positioning Da Nang as a Regional Digital Financial Centre," will be hosted at VIFC with 20 selected delegates. The session brings together international speakers, institutional representatives, and government stakeholders to discuss digital finance investment attraction, financial infrastructure, and Vietnam’s opportunities within the regional digital asset economy. Delegates will engage directly with key stakeholders involved in the development of Vietnam’s financial centre initiatives.

“Unchained Summit brings together public and private sector leaders in a room where the real work gets done, cutting through the noise to map the future of crypto in markets like Vietnam that are actively shaping the rules", said Tanna Chong, Head of Public Policy at VerifyVASP.

“The regulatory frameworks are in place, the capital is ready to move, and the window to build Asia's next generation of digital asset companies is open”, said Adam Nguyen, Executive Director at Sora Ventures. “Unchained Summit is where that conversation belongs."

“Vietnam has one of the most active crypto communities globally, and institutional appetite for tokenised real-world assets is accelerating,” said Duke Du, Co-Founder and CTO at OpenEden. “Unchained Summit puts that appetite in the same room as the infrastructure being built to serve it."

“Da Nang has earned its place in the global Web3 conversation. The institutional interest, the government engagement, the calibre of participants choosing to be here - that does not happen by accident,” said Sharath Kumar, Founder and CEO at Aeternum. “We are proud to have played a part in putting this city on the map, and this edition reflects the seriousness with which the market has responded.”
