#VietnamCryptoPolicy In 2025, Vietnam has profoundly transformed its policy towards cryptocurrencies with the adoption, on June 14, of the Law on the Digital Technology Industry. This text, which will come into effect on January 1, 2026, legally recognizes crypto-assets such as Bitcoin, distinguishing them from "virtual assets" for non-monetary use. This marks a major turning point for a country that, until then, had neither banned nor clearly regulated these assets.

The law introduces a strict regulatory framework, in accordance with FATF standards, particularly regarding anti-money laundering and cybersecurity. It also imposes operational conditions on crypto companies, overseen by the State Bank of Vietnam.

At the same time, Vietnam aims to stimulate innovation through a regulatory sandbox, tax incentives, and a favorable environment for local blockchain projects. The government is also preparing a specific tax regime.

In summary, Vietnam is moving from an unclear framework to structured regulation, aiming to secure investments while positioning the country as a regional hub for digital technologies.
