Hanoi, Vietnam – 15 Oct 2025 – Agora, Inc. (NASDAQ: API), a market leader in real-time engagement APIs, is enabling the world’s top Web3 platforms to transform how they connect with users. Among them is CoinMarketCap, the most-referenced cryptocurrency data provider, which leverages Agora’s technology to deliver interactive features such as live streaming with screen sharing, voice chat, cloud recording, real-time transcription and translation, and real-time messaging (RTM) for virtual gifting and tipping.
Vietnam has emerged as one of the most dynamic crypto markets in the world, ranking third globally in Chainalysis’ 2023 adoption index. Around 21.2% of the population, or roughly 20 million people, already own cryptocurrency, highlighting the country’s massive retail participation.
The population is also youthful, with around 68-70% in the working-age group (ages 15-64), and smartphone penetration estimated at 63.1% as of 2020, with more recent reports suggesting much higher adoption. Together, these trends make interactive, mobile-first digital experiences especially relevant.”
Momentum is also building on the institutional side. MB Bank recently announced a partnership with South Korea’s Upbit to explore the country’s first regulated crypto exchange, signaling both government openness and growing institutional support for digital assets. In a similar move, Deputy Prime Minister Nguyen Hoa Binh recently proposed that Binance establish a headquarters in Da Nang and cooperate in launching a crypto asset exchange within Vietnam’s planned international financial center. These developments underline Vietnam’s clear policy orientation toward piloting and regulating digital asset markets, creating fertile ground for solutions like Agora’s, which are designed to make crypto engagement safe, multilingual, and community-driven.
By integrating Agora’s technology, CoinMarketCap has expanded beyond being a data source to become a hub for interactive community engagement. Millions of users around the world now join live events, participate in educational sessions, and engage in real-time Q&As supported by seamless translation and accessibility features.
"Vietnam is one of the most vibrant communities we serve. By using Agora, we can create a safe and engaging environment for new and experienced users to learn and participate in the crypto economy. This combination of accessibility and interactivity is what makes our platform resonate with Vietnamese users," said Anson Lee, VP of Growth at CoinMarketCap.
Agora’s real-time engagement technology is well-positioned to support Vietnam’s next wave of crypto platforms. As the country moves toward establishing regulated exchanges, features such as cloud recording for compliance, multilingual transcription for inclusivity, and virtual gifting for community engagement can help local businesses build trusted and transparent ecosystems.
"Vietnam is one of the most exciting markets for Web3 and digital finance, with strong user adoption and increasing institutional support. By powering platforms like CoinMarketCap, we are demonstrating how real-time engagement technology can help Vietnam’s crypto ecosystem grow responsibly and inclusively," said Cindy Fan, Vietnam Business Development Manager at Agora.
With Vietnam on track to become a hub for digital assets in Asia, Agora’s focus on this market underscores its commitment to empowering platforms that connect communities through secure and interactive real-time experiences.
