1. Digital assets are legalized for the first time

The new law divides digital assets into 2 types:

- Virtual assets: used for investment or exchange, not securities or fiat money

This is a type of asset that exists in the form of digital data and can be used for investment or exchange, for example, you use a virtual item in the game to sell for money, or some reward points traded among users.

For example:

. Virtual assets in the game can be resold

. Tokens used in the service ecosystem (but not recognized as currency)

. Accumulated reward points have exchange value

- Encrypted assets (like crypto): created, stored, and transferred using encryption technology

This is a form of digital asset created, stored, and transferred using encryption technology, such as blockchain.

Unlike regular virtual assets, encrypted assets can:

. Traded on a decentralized network

. Can have high value and be widely accepted

. Have clear security, authentication, and transfer mechanisms thanks to technology

Both types are recognized as legal, but specific details will be further guided by the Government later.

5. Manage AI and incorporate it into education

- The law sets forth principles to manage high-risk AI, ensuring user safety
