#VietnamCryptoPolicy

Vietnam has made significant strides in cryptocurrency regulation with the approval of the Law on Digital Technology Industry on June 14, 2025. This law recognizes and defines crypto assets, paving the way for broader digital innovation in the country. The legislation categorizes digital assets into virtual assets and crypto assets, with the government tasked to outline specific business conditions and oversight mechanisms. The law also emphasizes cybersecurity and Anti-Money Laundering safeguards, aligning with international norms to address concerns raised by the Financial Action Task Force (FATF), which has had Vietnam on its gray list since 2023. With this move, Vietnam aims to become a digital tech hub, offering incentives for enterprises working in AI, semiconductors, and digital infrastructure. The new law is set to take effect on January 1, 2026, and is expected to boost Vietnam's position in the global crypto landscape ¹ ².
