#VietnamCryptoPolicy Vietnam Legalizes Crypto: A New Era

Vietnam has taken a historic step by legalizing digital assets with the new Digital Technology Industry Law, approved on June 14, 2025. The law will come into effect on January 1, 2026, moving the market out of the legal "gray area." Crypto assets are now recognized, but not as securities. The government will now develop detailed guidelines for licensing, compliance, and consumer protection, also aiming to combat money laundering (AML). This strategic change seeks to consolidate Vietnam as a technology hub, leveraging its already high cryptocurrency adoption rate.
