🇻🇳 Vietnam Crypto Policy – Big Move in Southeast Asia
Vietnam has officially recognized Bitcoin, Ethereum, and other digital assets as legal—but not for payments. A new law passed on June 14, 2025, will come into effect on January 1, 2026, creating clear rules for owning, trading, and regulating crypto.
They’ve also introduced anti-money laundering and cybersecurity standards to align with global best practices. Plus, expect a "sandbox" environment in cities like Ho Chi Minh and Da Nang for startups to test new crypto services. On top of that, tax breaks and subsidies aim to fuel growth in blockchain, AI, Web3, and semiconductor sectors.
Millions of Vietnamese already own crypto—this law shifts it from a gray zone to a regulated, innovation-ready market. It puts Vietnam in the same league as Singapore and UAE—but with its own strategic twist.
