Vietnam Passes Law to Legalize Bitcoin and Crypto Assets
#CryptoLegality
Vietnam’s new law, effective Jan 1, 2026, classifies digital assets as virtual and crypto assets, not securities or traditional assets.
In a historic move, Vietnam has officially recognized Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies by passing the Law on Digital Technology. The new legislation, approved by the National Assembly, marks a major step forward in the country’s digital transformation journey.
The law, which will be effective on January 1, 2026, differentiates between virtual assets and crypto assets. Interestingly, they are not referred to as securities, digital currencies or other conventional financial assets.
This categorization paves the way to greater transparency and order in the rapidly expanding crypto world. The Vietnamese authorities have recognized cryptocurrencies on a national scale, the first time ever, according to local media.
s is an indication of Vietnam as a whole being committed to being a digital-first economy.
The action is also in line with international anti-money laundering (AML) requirements. Vietnam is optimistic that this will enhance its relationship with the Financial Action Task Force (FATF), which may see it being taken off the watchlist of the group.
Vietnam is the latest country to consider the use of crypto. Ukraine is considering a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve and Pakistan is contemplating the same. With more countries adopting Bitcoin, the world competition to be the leader in digital assets is still gaining momentum.
The fact that Vietnam is taking this bold step is an indication that the future of finance is digital and it is already present.
