#VietnamCryptoPolicy

Vietnam’s National Assembly passed the Law on Digital Technology Industry on June 14, 2025, legalizing cryptocurrencies as digital assets, effective January 1, 2026. The law establishes a regulatory framework for crypto ownership, trading, and taxation, aligning with FATF standards to exit the financial grey list. It introduces a sandbox for blockchain startups, offers subsidies, and enforces AML compliance. Vietnam aims to become Southeast Asia’s largest regulated crypto market, fostering Web3 innovation and targeting 8% economic growth. Penalties for non-compliance, such as unlicensed trading, range from 100-200 million VND. The policy has sparked optimism among investors.
