Along with 150+ side events across Hanoi, GM Vietnam 2025 energized local industries in tourism, F&B, and hospitality sectors.

Vietnam is Leading Forward

GM Vietnam 2025 was more than an event, it was the culmination of a three-year mission to elevate Vietnam’s standing on the global blockchain map. As Mrs. Jenny Nguyen, COO of Kyros Ventures, noted:

“We’re not just hosting an event — we’re building a position for Vietnam on the global stage.”

With policy momentum, technological vision, and a rapidly growing community, Vietnam is no longer a follower in the digital era – it’s ready to lead it. And this is just the beginning!

This encrypted, compliance-friendly identity framework empowers users to decide how their data is used and ensures privacy in a trustless environment.

Complementing this is a co-governance and co-construction model that ensures equal sovereignty, allowing digital citizens to participate in decision-making and benefit from an unconditional basic income, an economic model designed to promote well-being and combat systemic inequality.

Bridging Blockchain and Sustainability

Meta Earth’s technology is designed not only to support financial applications but also to enhance environmental sustainability and green economic integration.

• ME ID enables the verification of footprint data for transparent tracking.
• ME Network enables trusted carbon trading and green asset liquidity.
• The inclusive economy incentivizes participation from underserved populations, addressing poverty and promoting ecological balance.

By merging blockchain infrastructure with green innovation, Meta Earth is laying the groundwork for a future where digital progress and ecological responsibility go hand in hand.

Global Engagement and Ecosystem Growth

Meta Earth actively participates in global blockchain summits and leads initiatives like Explorer’s Journey and MEC2025, reinforcing its community-driven ethos. Beyond this, its generous airdrop campaigns stand out as a rewarding opportunity and have fueled rapid user growth, with over 1.4 million users and influencers now actively engaging with the ecosystem and contributing to its expansion.

We are proud to officially announce that Polkadot has signed on as a Platinum Sponsor of GM Vietnam 2025, the region’s premier Web3 and blockchain event, taking place on August 1-2, 2025, at the National Convention Center, Hanoi.

This partnership marks a significant milestone in our mission to bring together global pioneers and emerging builders from Southeast Asia’s thriving Web3 landscape. As one of the most innovative and influential blockchain ecosystems in the world, Polkadot’s involvement will add unprecedented depth and energy to the GM Vietnam 2025 experience.

The Foundation of a Decentralized Web

Founded by Gavin Wood, co-founder and former CTO of Ethereum, Polkadot is a layer-0 protocol designed to connect and secure a network of blockchains, enabling native cross-chain interoperability and scalability.

Polkadot’s core mission is simple but transformative: “to enable a truly decentralized web where users are in control.”

The network allows independent blockchains (called parachains) to exchange data and assets trustlessly, all while relying on Polkadot’s shared security model. It is the technological foundation for a new wave of Web3 applications, DeFi projects, gaming ecosystems, and digital identity solutions.

Key Achievements

Over the past 18 months, Polkadot has significantly expanded its global footprint, driven by technological innovation, strong developer engagement, and measurable on-chain adoption.

• User and Network Activity: Polkadot’s active user accounts surged from 5.2 million to over 13.2 million in 2024, a 150% increase, with Mythos chain alone contributing over 6 million new users. Monthly transaction volumes more than doubled, growing from 13 million to nearly 40 million, while Total Value Locked (TVL) across parachains surpassed $1.6 billion by early 2025.
• Cross-Chain Growth & Scale: Polkadot strengthened its leadership in cross-chain interoperability, with monthly XCM messages exceeding 40,000 and over 120 active HRMP channels. The network now hosts more than 50 live parachains, supporting a wide range of use cases, from DeFi and NFTs to gaming, AI, and decentralized identity. Moonbeam alone recorded 16.7 million transactions in Q1 2025.
• Developer and Ecosystem Expansion: Polkadot remains among the top 4 most active blockchain ecosystems, with over 2,500 active developers, including 800 full-time contributors. Its ecosystem now spans 600+ live projects, covering everything from leading DeFi protocols and NFT marketplaces to Web3 identity solutions and enterprise applications.
• Major Protocol Upgrades: Polkadot 2.0 is redefining how network resources are allocated and consumed, with major upgrades like Asynchronous Backing and Agile Coretime already live on mainnet. The next step, Elastic Scaling, is scheduled for activation by mid-2025, further increasing throughput and network efficiency. To support this evolution, Polkadot has launched the Polkadot Hub, an all-in-one interface for users and developers to explore the network, participate in governance, and track ecosystem activity. Notably, the Hub will soon support smart contract functionality, enabling developers to deploy Solidity-based contracts on PolkaVM — a high-performance, RISC-V-based virtual machine designed to outperform Ethereum’s EVM in both speed and scalability. This upgrade marks a major leap forward for builders on Polkadot, paving the way for a broader range of decentralized applications.
• Funding and Global Adoption: Polkadot’s on-chain Treasury disbursed over $133 million in 2024 alone, with $211 million still allocated for future ecosystem growth initiatives. Additionally, strategic partnerships with enterprises and government agencies across Europe and Asia are further driving institutional adoption and regulatory engagement with Polkadot’s technology stack.

Polkadot continues to push the boundaries of blockchain scalability, interoperability, and governance, making it a natural fit for the spirit of innovation at GM Vietnam 2025.

Engage with Polkadot at GM Vietnam 2025

Polkadot’s presence at GM Vietnam 2025 will go beyond sponsorship; it’s a statement of intent to shape the next chapter of web3 in Southeast Asia.

Attendees can expect an immersive and high-impact ecosystem showcase, featuring live protocol demos, developer-focused workshops, and thought leadership keynotes from core Polkadot contributors and ecosystem pioneers.

We are thrilled to announce Aptos as a Diamond Sponsor of GM Vietnam 2025, marking a major collaboration between one of the industry’s most advanced Layer 1 blockchains and Southeast Asia’s largest Web3 gathering.

Aptos is more than just a fast and scalable blockchain — it represents a bold vision for Web3: one that is secure, modular, developer-friendly, and purpose-built for real-world adoption.

From its origins at Meta’s Diem project to its public emergence as a standalone chain, Aptos continues to push the boundaries of performance, safety, and decentralization.

Redefining Layer 1 Performance and Safety

Aptos is designed with one goal in mind: to bring billions of people into Web3 without compromising performance or security.

Powered by the Move programming language and the groundbreaking Block-STM parallel execution engine, Aptos is capable of processing up to 160,000 transactions per second while ensuring atomicity, low latency, and cost efficiency.

We are proud to welcome Tether, the largest company in the digital asset industry, as a Diamond Sponsor of GM Vietnam 2025. As the backbone of global crypto liquidity and a pioneer in the stablecoin movement, Tether’s presence brings unmatched financial depth and credibility to Southeast Asia’s premier Web3 gathering.

At a time when digital finance demands stability, transparency, and trust, Tether has continued to deliver, powering a $156B USD₮ ecosystem, investing across multiple real-world sectors, and reaffirming its commitment to decentralized economies.

USD₮: A Legacy of Stability and Scale

Since launching in 2014, Tether’s USD₮ has evolved into the largest and most widely adopted stablecoin in the world. Designed to maintain a 1:1 peg with the U.S. dollar, USD₮ serves as the primary source of liquidity for the global crypto economy. Today, it is issued on a wide range of leading blockchains, including Bitcoin, Ethereum, TRON, Solana, and more.

With nearly 156 billion USD₮ in circulation (as of June 2025), Tether holds over 62% of the global stablecoin market share. It ranks as the third-largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization, after Bitcoin and Ethereum.

Its consistent utility in trading, remittances, on/off-ramps, and DeFi has made it the de facto liquidity standard across the industry.

Strengthening the Foundation: Transparency, Reserves, and Global Strategy

Under the leadership of CEO Paolo Ardoino since 2023, Tether has taken a proactive stance on reserves, regulation, and real-world investment.

• Fully backed reserves: While no longer 100% USD-only, Tether’s reserves now include U.S. Treasuries, cash equivalents, Bitcoin, gold, and secured loans.
• High liquidity: Over $120B in U.S. government bonds and $10B+ in BTC held to ensure 1:1 redemption.
• Quarterly attestations: Regular transparency reports ensure confidence in Tether’s collateral and capital.

Tether Investments, its dedicated venture arm, is also pushing boundaries:

• Acquired ~33.7% of Elemental Altus Royalties, a public gold royalties company.
• Holds nearly 80 tonnes of physical gold.
• Invests across AI (Blackrock Neurotech), crypto mining (Bitdeer), media (Rumble), Web3 (Orionx), and even sports (Juventus FC).

These moves underscore Tether’s evolution from a stablecoin provider into a full-fledged fintech conglomerate.

The Role of USD₮ in Emerging Markets and Web3 Adoption

USD₮ is more than a stablecoin; it’s a financial lifeline in volatile economies. In regions like Latin America, Africa, and Southeast Asia, USD₮ facilitates access to stable currency, protects savings, and connects users to the global digital economy.

Tether’s commitment to these markets includes:

• Deploying stablecoins pegged to multiple fiat currencies and gold.
• Supporting local exchanges and onramps to drive grassroots crypto adoption.
• Enabling DeFi participation through multi-chain presence and high-speed transfers.

With Paolo Ardoino actively advocating for financial freedom, Tether continues to break down entry barriers for real users and real economies.

Meet Tether at GM Vietnam 2025

Join Tether at GM Vietnam 2025, happening August 1–2 at the National Convention Center in Hanoi, and get a rare chance to interact with the pioneers behind the world’s largest stablecoin.

To drive community engagement and real trading activity, Holdstation regularly hosts trading contests / Swap Competitions with prize pools of up to $100,000 per campaign, rewarding top traders, LPs, and loyal users across its ecosystem.

Ecosystem Growth: From Derivatives to AI Agents

The Holdstation ecosystem is rapidly expanding with real products across DeFi and beyond:

• Holdstation DeFutures: Trade perpetual futures on crypto and real-world assets with up to 500× leverage. Users can also become LPs, earn trading rewards, or refer others through a commission program.
• Holdstation AI Trading Hub: A central platform offering plug-and-play AI agents built for retail traders and degens — including wallet copy tools, memecoin scanners, narrative feeds, and automated signal execution.
• Holdstation Launchpad: A smart wallet-native launchpad featuring AI-assisted token discovery, real-time wallet data, and points-based allocation systems that reward active users.
• World Chain Integration: As an early contributor to World App, Holdstation is positioned to serve millions of verified users with on-chain tools optimized for identity & scale.

With its growing footprint across Solana, EVM chains, and World App, Holdstation is building a seamless, multichain environment where smart wallets, perpetual trading, and AI-driven tools converge, giving users an edge in every market cycle.

Dominating Real-User Adoption in Web3

In May 2025, Holdstation achieved a major milestone by becoming the #1 dApp by Daily Active Users (DAU) on World App, surpassing 2,000+ mini apps and registering over 137,000 real users. With an airdrop of $100,000 in WLD tokens, the platform quickly became a key player in the World ecosystem.

Today, Holdstation contributes over 10% of World App’s total transaction volume, reaching ~200,000 daily users. Its Eggs Vault reward system, featuring HOLD, USDT, and Mysteric Eggs, has driven sustained community engagement, currently ranking #4 in World App by user activity.

Separately, the full Web3 version of Holdstation — including its smart wallet, perpetual DEX, and AI trading tools — has onboarded over 1.4 million users globally, with cumulative trading volume exceeding $51 billion. Together, both experiences serve different user bases but share one mission: bringing real users into real on-chain finance.

We are delighted to officially welcome MEXC as a Diamond Sponsor of GM Vietnam 2025, the flagship Web3 conference taking place on August 1–2 at the National Convention Center, Hanoi.

This partnership marks a major milestone for both sides, reflecting our shared vision of empowering innovation, accelerating adoption, and unlocking the full potential of the blockchain industry in Southeast Asia and beyond. 

As one of the world’s most trusted and widely-used crypto exchanges, MEXC’s participation at this level sends a clear signal: Vietnam is becoming a vital hub for the next generation of Web3 builders, traders, and pioneers.

Global Exchange, Local Commitment

Founded in 2018, MEXC has grown into a global exchange with over 40 million users across 170+ countries, offering a wide range of services including spot, futures trading, staking, launchpads, and more.

MEXC is known not only for its robust infrastructure and deep liquidity, but also for its dedication to building a secure, accessible, and transparent trading environment for all. Over the years, the platform has earned a reputation for listing high-quality assets early, supporting emerging ecosystems, and staying at the forefront of innovation.

As the digital asset landscape matures, MEXC continues to prioritize user trust, product innovation, building global connections and exploring growth opportunities across Southeast Asia and beyond.

A Year of Acceleration and Impact

The past year has been nothing short of transformative for MEXC, as the exchange continued to push the boundaries of what a centralized platform can achieve in a decentralized world.

By the first quarter of 2025, MEXC consistently ranked among the top 10 global exchanges in terms of the trading volume, according to coingecko.

At the heart of MEXC’s momentum is its commitment to supporting early-stage innovation. Through its Launchpad and Kickstarter platforms, MEXC has played a key role in bringing some of the most promising crypto projects to market, providing them with deep liquidity, global exposure, and a trusted launch environment. This effort has not only expanded MEXC’s product suite but also positioned it as a key launch partner for the next generation of Web3 pioneers.

From a technology standpoint, MEXC made strategic moves to enhance scalability and performance. The exchange successfully integrated with several prominent Layer 2 networks, allowing users to enjoy faster transaction speeds and lower fees.

On the security front, MEXC prioritizes security with a $100 million Guardian Fund launched in June 2025, maintaining reserves above 100%, publishing Proof of Reserves every two months, and partnering with blockchain security auditor Hacken to further enhance platform security.

2024 also marked MEXC’s renewed focus on Southeast Asia, with tailored outreach initiatives, stronger community engagement, and growing collaboration across the region. MEXC has demonstrated that it is not just a global exchange, but also a committed local stakeholder.

All of these milestones signal one thing MEXC is leading. With bold vision, world-class execution, and an unwavering focus on user empowerment, MEXC is defining what it means to be a next-generation crypto exchange.

Meet MEXC at GM Vietnam 2025

As a Diamond Sponsor, MEXC will host exclusive activities at GM Vietnam 2025 – including product showcases, networking opportunities, and insights from senior leadership on the evolving global crypto landscape.

Whether you’re a builder, trader, founder, or investor, this is your opportunity to connect with one of the most influential players in the industry.

We look forward to welcoming the MEXC team to Hanoi this August — and to witnessing the meaningful collaborations that will emerge from this powerful convergence of minds. Let’s build Web3 in Vietnam together.
