#VietnamCryptoPolicy 🇻🇳 Digital Assets Legitimized

Vietnam’s National Assembly just passed the Law on Digital Technology Industry on June 14, 2025 — marking the nation’s first comprehensive recognition and regulation of digital assets .

⏳ Effective date: January 1, 2026

Highlights:

Formal legal recognition of both crypto assets (like BTC, ETH) and virtual assets (such as in-game tokens)

Exchange licensing, AML/KYC standards, and cybersecurity safeguards aligned with FATF requirements

Tax incentives and support for national tech sectors including semiconductors and AI

Aims to shift the country out of its prior “crypto grey zone” and become Southeast Asia’s next major regulated crypto hub

Why this matters:

Vietnam’s massive adoption (~17 million users) finally gets a legal foundation

Creates a clearer path for local crypto businesses to establish and scale domestically

Boosts investor confidence and helps attract legitimate innovation

🛠️ Next steps: Watch for detailed regulatory guidelines from the government and license rollouts for exchanges and service providers. Potential launch of local DeFi, NFT & finance platforms ahead of 2026.
