#VietnamCryptoPolicy Vietnam legalizes cryptocurrencies under new digital technology law
Vietnam has approved a comprehensive digital technology law that legalizes crypto assets and outlines incentives for artificial intelligence, semiconductors, and infrastructure.
The National Assembly of Vietnam approved the Digital Technology Industry Law on June 14, placing digital assets under regulatory oversight.
The legislation, which will come into effect on January 1, 2026, recognizes crypto assets and lays the groundwork for broader digital innovation across the country, according to local media reports.
The law classifies digital assets into two categories: virtual assets and crypto assets. While both are based on encryption or digital technologies for their validation and transfer, neither includes securities, digital fiat currencies, or other financial instruments.
