#VietnamCryptoPolicy Vietnam has recently taken significant steps toward integrating Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies into its legal framework. On June 14, 2025, the National Assembly of Vietnam passed the Law on Digital Technology, which officially recognizes Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies as digital assets, effective January 1, 2026. This law distinguishes cryptocurrencies from traditional financial assets, without classifying them as securities or currency, and includes mandates for cybersecurity and Anti-Money Laundering (AML) safeguards aligned with international standards, addressing Vietnam’s status on the Financial Action Task Force’s (FATF) “gray list” since 2023.
