#VietnamCryptoPolicy

🇻🇳 #VietnamCryptoPolicy marks a watershed moment in Asia’s crypto evolution! On June 14, 2025, Vietnam’s National Assembly passed the Law on Digital Technology Industry, legalizing and defining digital assets—splitting them into “virtual assets” (for trading/investment) and “crypto assets” (encryption‑based tokens), neither of which are treated as securities or fiat . The law also mandates government rules for cybersecurity, anti‑money laundering, and counter‑terrorism financing, aligning with international standards, especially the FATF . Set to take effect January 1, 2026, it positions Vietnam as a regional digital tech powerhouse by offering incentives for AI, semiconductors, and Web3 development .

For a country with 17 million crypto holders and a top‑five global ranking in adoption, this framework brings legal clarity, investor protection, and paves the way for licensed exchanges and a potential sandbox model . It also helps Vietnam climb off the FATF “grey list.” As it rolls out in 2026, expect a surge in institutional partnerships and homegrown crypto innovation across HCM City, Da Nang, and beyond.
