#VietnamCryptoPolicy

Vietnam has recently made significant strides in its crypto policy, moving from a "grey zone" to a more regulated environment.

On June 14, 2025, the National Assembly passed the Law on Digital Technology Industry, officially recognizing digital assets, including cryptocurrencies.

This landmark legislation, effective January 1, 2026, differentiates between "virtual assets" and "crypto assets," setting the stage for a licensing regime for exchanges, AML safeguards, and tailored tax rules.

This shift aims to integrate Vietnam's highly active crypto market into its broader digital economy, attract investment, and importantly, help the nation exit the Financial Action Task Force's (FATF) grey list for AML compliance.

The government will now establish specific business conditions and oversight mechanisms, balancing innovation with investor protection in a sector that has seen substantial grassroots adoption.
