Viet Nam Promotes Cooperation with Leading U.S. Financial Institutions and Investment Funds

Connecting Financial Giants

The working program on March 25, 2026, focused on exchanging investment and cooperation opportunities with leading U.S. financial institutions and investment funds regarding new financial technologies, including: KraneShares, Stellar Development Foundation, Polymorphic Capital, TPG, and Kraken.

During the meeting with KraneShares, Mr. Jonathan Krane, Founder and CEO, noted that Viet Nam has the potential to become an important investment destination thanks to its long-term growth prospects and the roadmap for upgrading to an emerging market. KraneShares proposed building attractive investment narratives and organizing international events such as Viet Nam Day at the New York Stock Exchange to promote the potential of the Vietnamese market.

 

Meanwhile, Mr. José Fernández da Ponte, Chairman of the Stellar Development Foundation, stated that the Foundation has implemented many cooperation projects in Asia using blockchain technology to provide payment, remittance, and asset management services with the advantages of high speed and low cost. Mr. José Fernández da Ponte emphasized that fintech serves as a complement to traditional systems and expressed a desire to cooperate with Viet Nam in developing financial and payment infrastructure.

Representing Polymorphic Capital, Mr. Richard Sobel, a leader of the Fund, argued that key factors for attracting investment include a transparent regulatory environment, the de-politicization of business, high-quality human resources, and streamlined procedures. The Fund assessed that Viet Nam's development of an International Financial Center is on the right track, given its advantages in human resources, strategic location, and regional connectivity. Polymorphic Capital affirmed its readiness to support connections and introduce the investment potential of Viet Nam International Financial Center to its network of global investment funds.


Focusing on Sustainable Development and New Legal Frameworks

Regarding TPG, a leading global private investment firm with over $300 billion in assets under management, Mr. Marc Mezvinsky, Member Director, stated that he has monitored Viet Nam's positive development over recent times. He expressed a desire to seek cooperation and investment opportunities in Viet Nam, particularly in sustainable development sectors such as energy transition and climate, viewing this as a starting point for subsequent cooperation plans.

At the working session with Kraken, one of the pioneers in the field of cryptocurrency and blockchain, CEO David Ripley shared his readiness to participate in policy dialogues. He recommended building a clear legal framework that balances innovation and investor protection, strengthening risk management, and learning from international experience suited to Viet Nam's conditions.

On the same day, March 25, the delegation also attended a meeting chaired by the Permanent Deputy Prime Minister with UN Under-Secretary-General Rabab Fatima and ambassadors from developing countries to discuss measures to promote South-South and Triangular cooperation for sustainable development.

 

The strong interest from major U.S. financial institutions and investment funds once again confirms Viet Nam's increasing position and attractiveness on the global financial map. The feedback and commitments of support from these partners not only open up capital opportunities but also serve as a foundation for Viet Nam to perfect its legal framework, soon realizing the goal of building an international financial center and sustainably transforming the digital economy./.
