Vietnam is moving rapidly from crypto anonymity to structured oversight—with a surprise twist of innovation and ambition.
🔍 Key Updates
Pilot Crypto Exchange Launching Soon
The Ministry of Finance, led by Deputy Minister Nguyễn Đức Chí, has proposed launching a government‑monitored cryptocurrency exchange by March 2025. This marks a pivotal move toward formal oversight and market transparency .
Laying the Regulatory Groundwork
Since December 2024, the government has issued a blockchain strategy and several directives (Directive 05/CT‑TTg, Resolution 57) to guide a legal framework for digital assets. The draft law on Digital Technology Industries is expected before the National Assembly’s May 2025 session .
Sandbox Mode & Sandbox Goals
Vietnam plans to run controlled sandbox environments for digital asset ventures—launching mid‑2026—to safely test new services including exchange operations and token issuance .
Why This Is Crucial
Vietnam ranks 5th globally in crypto adoption, with an estimated 17 million holders engaging in over US $100 billion worth of trades—often via unregulated platforms . Formal regulations promise investor protection, tax revenue—estimated at USD 800 million annually—and progress in blockchain-backed initiatives like CBDCs and asset tokenization.
💬 Community Perspective
Reddit users highlight both adoption and risk:
