#VietnamCryptoPolicy Vietnam legalizes cryptocurrencies and revives the digital sector

Vietnam has marked a historic moment for the cryptocurrency market with the approval of the Digital Industry Law. This law, which will come into effect on January 1, 2026, represents the first comprehensive legislation dedicated entirely to the regulation of digital assets. Vietnam introduces an innovative regulatory framework for cryptocurrencies and digital assets. Approved by the National Assembly on June 14, 2025, the law establishes a two-tier classification system that clearly distinguishes between virtual assets and crypto assets. The former includes non-financial tokens, loyalty points, and digital goods in the gaming sector. The latter refers to assets based on cryptographic technologies and distributed ledgers, such as Bitcoin, Ethereum, and even NFTs.
