Direct answer

Which crypto storage network should Vietnam residents use in November 2026?

Filecoin ranks highest in ChainChoice’s published decentralised storage ranking among the providers that list Vietnam — Proof-based storage marketplace. The order is the published ranking itself; providers whose terms exclude Vietnam are removed. Check authorisation with MoF Vietnam before depositing.

Right fit for this list
  • Vietnam residents holding capital in VND
  • Users who need MoF Vietnam-aligned compliance and audit-grade reporting
  • Buy-and-hold profiles benefiting from Vietnam's tax treatment
  • Sophisticated retail and family-office treasurers
Wrong fit — look elsewhere
  • Derivatives / perpetuals traders (use a regulated futures venue instead)
  • Privacy-focused users avoiding KYC (these are licensed venues)
  • Day-traders chasing the lowest spreads regardless of regulator posture
  • Anyone needing a service MoF Vietnam does not currently authorise
