#VietnamCryptoPolicy Vietnam legalized cryptocurrencies under the new digital technology law

Vietnam has adopted a comprehensive digital technology law that legalizes cryptocurrency assets and provides incentives for the development of AI, semiconductors, and related infrastructure.

The National Assembly of Vietnam passed the Digital Industry Law on June 14, initiating the regulation of digital assets.

The new regulations will come into effect on January 1, 2026. They will legalize cryptocurrency assets and establish a foundation for other innovations.

The law also includes provisions for cybersecurity and anti-money laundering in accordance with international standards — likely in response to concerns from the Financial Action Task Force (FATF). Since 2023, Vietnam has been on the "gray list" of the organization.
