#VietnamCryptoPolicy

Vietnam is preparing to launch a government‑backed pilot cryptocurrency exchange as early as March 2025, under a sandbox regulatory framework aimed at improving transparency and protecting investors . The Ministry of Finance and State Bank are also developing a broader legal framework for digital assets, possibly paving the way for a Vietnamese CBDC . Despite past losses—in 2023, nearly 65% of local crypto investors lost money—confidence is growing, with interest shifting to Layer‑1/2 tokens, AI, NFTs, and SocialFi projects .

Vietnam ranks among the top five global crypto adopters, and with 17 million digital asset users and $100 billion+ market value, the country is deepening regulatory integration to support this booming ecosystem.
