Stablecoin & RWA (Real World Assets): Those who hold the bridge between crypto and real assets (tokenized USD, gold, bonds…) will have the advantage. This is a 'secure and stable' area as the whole world seeks transparent, decentralized financial solutions.
AI + Crypto: Projects that integrate AI with blockchain (automating trading, on-chain data AI, AI wallet management agents) will have a huge competitive advantage.
Layer 2 & Transaction Speed: The race to optimize fees and TPS will shape the winners. Ethereum L2, Solana, Aptos, Sui… are all diving into the 'speed battlefield'.
Community & Narrative: It's not just about technology, but 'who can create trust and an engaging narrative' will be the winner. 2025 is the year of communication + community, not just.
Government & Legislation: Crypto will gradually be 'partially nationalized' – many countries are issuing clear laws, legalizing stablecoins, and opening crypto ETF funds → creating institutional cash flow.
CBDC vs Free Crypto: A fierce battle: CBDC issued by the state faces off against decentralized crypto. Those who know how to 'stand between two currents' will survive.
GameFi & Metaverse 2.0: After the fall of 2022, the new generation of blockchain games (AAA quality, sustainable economy) will explode.
AI + Web3 Economy: Users not only trade coins but also operate 'AI agents' that self-invest and earn money, turning each individual into a 'mobile DAO'.
Vietnam 2026–2028: Young market, strong FOMO: Vietnam will continue to be one of the strongest crypto communities in Southeast Asia.
Opportunities for Web3 Start-ups: If from 2020 to 2022 Vietnam exported developers for international projects, then from 2026 to 2028, there will be Vietnamese-origin projects that are globally competitive (DeFi, GameFi, SocialFi).
State policy: It is highly likely that Vietnam will issue a legal sandbox for crypto & blockchain, similar to Thailand and Singapore → creating 'legitimate' opportunities for builders.
Whoever masters Stablecoin, RWA, AI + Blockchain, and has a strong community in 2025 will hold a golden advantage to enter the 'maturity cycle' of 2026–2028.
Crypto will no longer just be a game for traders, but a digital economy parallel to traditional finance. Vietnam, if it keeps up, can become a regional 'hub', like Thailand in tourism but in the Web3 sector.
