#VietnamCryptoPolicy Vietnam has taken a significant step in regulating crypto. As of June 14, 2025, the National Assembly passed the Law on Digital Technology Industry, which officially legalizes and defines digital assets. This law, effective January 1, 2026, categorizes digital assets into "virtual assets" and "crypto assets," but excludes securities or digital fiat currencies.

While not a comprehensive framework, it provides a legal basis, moving crypto out of a "grey zone." The government will now establish detailed regulations, business conditions, and oversight mechanisms, including anti-money laundering (AML) and cybersecurity standards, aiming to align with international norms and potentially exit the FATF grey list. This move signals Vietnam's ambition to become a digital technology and Web3 hub.
