In June 2025, Vietnam passed the 'Digital Technology Industry Law', officially recognizing the legal status of crypto assets, which will come into effect in 2026. The new law categorizes digital assets into 'virtual assets' and 'crypto assets', clarifying the regulatory framework and strengthening anti-money laundering and cybersecurity requirements. This move helps Vietnam exit the FATF gray list, enhances international investment confidence, and encourages the development of digital industries such as blockchain and AI in the region, injecting new momentum into the Southeast Asian crypto ecosystem.
