#VietnamCryptoPolicy Crypto as Payment? Still Banned.
Using BTC, ETH, or any crypto for payments is illegal under Vietnam’s law. Violators face heavy fines (up to $8,000)! 💸
✅ But You Can Still Trade & Hold!
Vietnamese traders can still buy, hold, and sell crypto on exchanges like Binance. Spot & futures trading is not banned, just unregulated (for now).
🧪 Regulatory Sandbox Incoming!
Vietnam’s Ministry of Finance is launching a pilot exchange and crypto sandbox in major cities like HCMC & Da Nang — expected to go live mid-2025 🚀

A legal framework covering:
✅ Licensing
✅ AML / KYC
✅ Taxation on fiat conversions
✅ Investor Protection
…is under development, targeting release after March 2025.
