#VietnamCryptoPolicy
Vietnam is quietly becoming a crypto powerhouse despite its ambiguous regulations. Here’s why global investors are watching:
1. Explosive Adoption
- 1 in Chainalysis 2023 Global Crypto Adoption Index
- 21% of population owns crypto—highest in Southeast Asia
2. Regulatory Gray Zone
- No formal ban, but no legal framework (similar to India’s pre-2023 stance)
- SBV (central bank) testing digital dong (CBDC) by 2025
3. Key Use Cases
- Remittances: $19B/year flows, with crypto bypassing high fees
- Play-to-Earn: Axie Infinity’s success spawned local Web3 startups
- Mining Hub: Cheap electricity attracts underground farms
4. Government Moves
- Drafting comprehensive crypto law (expected 2025)
- Tax discussions: Capital gains likely at 10-20%
