In March 2025, the Ministry of Finance of Vietnam was tasked by the Prime Minister to report and present a draft resolution on the pilot construction and operation of a digital currency exchange. This exchange will be organized by businesses licensed by the State, aiming to create a transparent and safe trading environment for investors, organizations, and individuals in the country.
Deputy Minister of Finance Nguyen Duc Chi emphasized that managing digital assets is a complex and novel issue, not only for Vietnam but also for many countries around the world. Therefore, the Government has directed urgent research and the establishment of a suitable legal framework to manage this activity.
The implementation of the pilot digital currency exchange not only helps protect the legal rights of investors but also contributes to controlling risks such as money laundering, tax evasion, and fraud. At the same time, it opens up opportunities to mobilize financial resources for production and business activities, promoting the development of the digital economy and keeping pace with global trends in digital assets.
This is considered an important step in realizing the goal of building a transparent, safe, and sustainable digital asset market in Vietnam.
