🌉💵 Da Nang Pilot USDT Payment: Are International Tourists About to Have More Choices?
💡Da Nang, June 9, 2025 – The Department of Science and Technology of Da Nang City has received a proposal to pilot allowing international tourists to pay for goods and services using the stablecoin USDT (Tether), within the framework of a controlled experimental mechanism (“sandbox”) - a “legal testing corridor” permitted by Resolution 136/2024/QH15.
• The sandbox helps the city to “move faster” compared to current regulations, while still controlling risks and applying international standards such as KYC/AML.
• Experts and businesses (Binance, FPT, RMIT…) highly value this model, seeing it as a stepping stone for Da Nang to become a digital asset – fintech – Web3 hub of the region.
• However, USDT is still not a legal payment method, so the entire process must strictly adhere to the sandbox and await the official digital asset law.
For those who have followed me from previous posts, they will understand that I always view crypto – stablecoins not as a risky game, but as an inevitable step of the modern financial system. They will clearly see that I predicted early on that the acceptance of stablecoins is inevitable, and that stablecoins will gradually be accepted in the digital financial ecosystem, and these signals are now materializing in Vietnam.
