#VietnamCryptoPolicy A step that represents a radical shift in its financial policies, Vietnam has approved the "Digital Technology Industry Law" which defines for the first time the comprehensive legal framework for digital assets and cryptocurrencies, set to officially take effect in January 2026. This legislation classifies digital assets into two categories: cryptocurrencies (such as Bitcoin) based on blockchain technologies, and **virtual assets** designated for trading and investment, with exceptions for stablecoins and central bank digital currencies (CBDCs).
