Vietnam legalizes crypto and renews the digital sector
Vietnam marked a historic turning point for the crypto market with the enactment of the Law on the Digital Technology Industry. Effective from January 1, 2026, this legislation represents the first comprehensive law entirely dedicated to the regulation of digital assets.
Vietnam introduces an innovative regulatory framework for Crypto and Digital Assets
Approved by the National Assembly on June 14, 2025, the law introduces a two-tier classification system that clearly distinguishes between virtual asset and crypto asset. The former includes non-financial tokens, loyalty points, and digital goods in the gaming sector. The latter concerns assets based on cryptographic technologies and distributed ledgers, such as Bitcoin, Ethereum, and even NFT.
This distinction is fundamental as it explicitly excludes financial securities, stablecoins pegged to fiat currencies, and central bank digital currencies (CBDC) from the scope of the law. As a result, companies and investors can operate with greater clarity and security in a defined context, avoiding regulatory overlaps.
Clear rules and international standards
The regulations authorize the Vietnamese government to define precise operational guidelines, covering licensing requirements, compliance protocols, consumer protection measures, and strict standards regarding Anti-Money Laundering (AML). These are aligned with international best practices and aim to counter money laundering and terrorism financing.
In particular, Vietnam intends to improve its position after being placed on the “gray list” of the Financial Action Task Force (FATF) in 2023. The law provides strict control mechanisms to ensure full transparency and compliance with global financial standards.
