Vietnam's policy on cryptocurrency is shifting from a wait-and-see approach to active management. On June 14, 2025, the National Assembly of Vietnam passed the Law on Digital Technology Industry, which officially incorporates crypto assets into the legal framework, expected to take effect in January 2026. This law regulates virtual assets and crypto assets, emphasizing anti-money laundering and cybersecurity measures, aiming to balance innovation with financial stability. Although cryptocurrency is currently not recognized as a legal payment tool, owning and trading it is not illegal. The government plans to launch a sandbox program in mid-2026 to test the compliance framework. This move reflects Vietnam's efforts to ensure regulatory transparency and investor protection in a highly adopted cryptocurrency market, promoting the development of the digital economy.
