👘 These guys are not joking
Vietnam long pretended that crypto was some kind of Japanese mythology: something exists, but better not to touch it. Then it looked at P2P volumes, the number of garage miners, and traffic from Binance — and said: “Maybe it's time to stop playing?” 😏

📜 And here’s what they put on the table:
📌 Crypto is an asset, not currency. That is, you can’t buy coffee, but buying an apartment with ADA — why not?
📌 Licenses for exchanges — now no more “I’m just trading in Telegram”
📌 20% income tax on crypto profits. As the tax guy said: “Nothing personal, just fiscal” 💼
📌 KYC/AML for everyone — even for your grandma if she uses PancakeSwap
📌 Benefits for blockchain startups. Because if there's no blockchain — there will be TikTokCoin, and even the communist party won't survive that

💡 But that's not the main point
This is not just a bill, it’s a national upgrade. Because when the IMF is pushing you, FATF is pressing, and investors are sending “🚩” — you either have to modernize or remain a country where crypto is only legal in hearts.

🧨 What does this mean for us?
🌍 First of all, another country has emerged from its cave and said: “We are not afraid of blockchain”
🏦 Secondly, a trend has emerged. After Hong Kong, South Korea, and the UAE — yet another jurisdiction is betting on crypto legality
💰 Thirdly, this is yet another nail in the coffin of the idea that “crypto is for the gray market”

🤝 And what about the cryptonians?
Cryptonians, as always, were happy, but suspicious:
— "What about privacy?"
— "Will there be an official launch of CEXes?"
— "How is this going to be traded with VAT?"
Well, not everything at once. But the fact is: Vietnam is transforming from wildness into a crypto institution.

🧠 The final
In 2026, crypto in Vietnam will become not just a forum topic, but a legal part of the economy. And while the EU is still thinking about how to tax NFTs as inheritance — the Vietnamese are already building CBDC, allowing exchanges, and collecting VAT on meme coins.
And that means it's finally time to acknowledge: Saigon is smarter than some capitals 😉
