Vietnam officially adopts digital assets and begins a new era for the digital economy. Vietnam has approved a new law regulating digital assets and establishing the first comprehensive legal framework for artificial intelligence, in a move that marks a pivotal transformation in the country's digital economy. The Vietnamese parliament overwhelmingly approved the Digital Technology Industry Law, with 441 out of 445 deputies voting in favor, establishing a clear legal foundation for dealing with cryptocurrencies and modern technologies such as artificial intelligence and blockchain. The new law officially recognizes digital assets as legal virtual assets, enabling investors and companies to use digital currencies like Bitcoin and Ethereum within legitimate investment and trading activities. The law categorizes assets into two types: virtual assets like gaming tokens and loyalty points, and cryptocurrencies based on blockchain technology like digital currencies and NFTs, while excluding securities and central bank digital currencies from the framework. The Digital Technology Law will come into effect on January 1, 2026, providing comprehensive frameworks for the use of digital assets and the development of artificial intelligence and modern technologies. This legislation highlights Vietnam's strategic ambition to transform into an Asian digital power by improving productivity, activating innovation, and enhancing governance.
