【Vietnam will pilot a digital asset exchange in the international financial center】On August 12, news came that the Vietnamese government announced it will pilot a digital asset exchange in the international financial center. Three legal measures have laid the foundation for the digital asset sector, including the National Assembly's resolution to develop the financial center, the Ministry of Finance's submission of a pilot proposal for the digital asset exchange, and new laws that clarify the definition of asset categories. The Ministry of Finance is improving relevant pilot policies, which are expected to be submitted to the government in August, covering issuance, trading, management, and other aspects. Service providers can independently choose listed assets, prioritizing those with high liquidity. The officials emphasized that blockchain is the core infrastructure and will strengthen cybersecurity and risk management. The central bank is studying the model for a national digital currency (CBDC).
