#VietnamCryptoPolicy

Hanoi, June 16, 2025 — In a move that marks a radical shift in its financial policies, Vietnam has approved the "Digital Technology Industry Law" which establishes for the first time a comprehensive legal framework for digital assets and cryptocurrencies, set to officially take effect in January 2026. This legislation classifies digital assets into two categories: cryptocurrencies (such as Bitcoin) based on blockchain technologies, and **virtual assets** designated for trading and investment, with stablecoins and central bank digital currencies (CBDCs) being exempt.
