Vietnam approves pioneering law to regulate cryptocurrencies starting in 2026

Vietnam made history by becoming one of the first countries to adopt a comprehensive law to regulate digital assets. The Digital Technology Industry Law, which will come into effect on January 1, 2026, establishes a complete legal framework for cryptocurrencies, exchanges, and blockchain projects.

The regulation recognizes digital assets as regulated goods, imposes transparency requirements and anti-money laundering (AML) measures, and seeks to protect investors. Vietnam, with a high adoption of cryptocurrencies, aims to foster technological innovation while ensuring legal security.
