#VietnamCryptoPolicy

Vietnam has recently enacted a landmark "Law on Digital Technology Industry," officially recognizing cryptocurrencies and other digital assets. This law, passed on June 14, 2025, and effective January 1, 2026, aims to move crypto out of a legal grey area. It categorizes digital assets into "virtual assets" (non-financial tokens) and "crypto assets" (cryptographic-based assets like Bitcoin). The new framework will introduce clear licensing requirements for exchanges and service providers, strong Anti-Money Laundering (AML) measures, and tax rules. This move positions Vietnam to become a regional Web3 hub, attracting investment and fostering innovation in its digital economy.
