#VietnamCryptoPolicy Updating information The National Assembly of Vietnam approved the Digital Technology Industry Law on June 14, bringing digital assets under regulatory supervision.

The legislation, which will come into effect on January 1, 2026, recognizes cryptocurrency assets and lays the groundwork for broader digital innovation across the country, according to local media reports.

The law classifies digital assets into two categories: virtual assets and cryptocurrency assets. While both rely on encryption or digital technologies for validation and transfer, neither includes securities, digital fiat currencies, or other financial instruments.

The government now has the task of outlining specific business conditions, classifications, and oversight mechanisms for these types of assets.

The law also mandates cybersecurity safeguards and anti-money laundering measures aligned with international standards, an effort that is likely aimed at addressing concerns from the Financial Action Task Force (FATF). Vietnam has been on the FATF's "gray list" since 2023.$BTC
