#VietnamCryptoPolicy Vietnam’s National Assembly passed the Law on the Digital Technology Industry on June 14, 2025. Recognizing digital and crypto assets, it establishes two clear categories—“virtual assets” (loyalty points, gaming tokens) and “crypto assets” (Bitcoin, Ethereum, NFTs)—excluding securities, stablecoins, and CBDCs . The law takes effect January 1, 2026, and mandates licensing, Anti‑Money Laundering compliance, cybersecurity standards, and consumer protections aligned with international norms . Its passage aims to pull Vietnam off the FATF “gray list,” while incentivizing digital innovation—AI, semiconductors, blockchain startups—through tax breaks, subsidies, and infrastructure support . This framework ends regulatory ambiguity and fosters safe, sustainable crypto growth.
