#VietnamCryptoPolicy

Vietnam has taken a significant step in cryptocurrency regulation by passing the Law on Digital Technology Industry on June 14, 2025, effective January 1, 2026. This landmark legislation officially recognizes "virtual assets" and "crypto assets," differentiating them from securities or fiat currencies.

The law mandates government oversight for classification, business conditions, and management. It also requires robust cybersecurity and anti-money laundering (AML) measures, aligning with international standards to address concerns from the Financial Action Task Force (FATF). This move aims to foster a regulated digital economy and position Vietnam as a regional tech hub.
