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