#VietnamCryptoPolicy Vietnam’s National Assembly passed the landmark Law on Digital Technology Industry on June 14, 2025, formally legalizing and regulating digital assets. Set to come into force on January 1, 2026, the law distinguishes between “virtual assets” and “crypto assets”—excluding fiat-backed instruments, securities, and CBDCs . It mandates licensing frameworks, robust cybersecurity, and anti-money laundering measures to align with FATF standards and address Vietnam’s gray‑list status since 2023 . In addition to crypto, the law introduces tax breaks, land‑use incentives, and R&D funding for AI, semiconductors, and digital infrastructure . This comprehensive approach paves the way for a secure, institutional-friendly crypto ecosystem and positions Vietnam as a regional digital-tech leader.
