Hanoi, June 16, 2025 — In a move considered a radical shift in its financial policies, Vietnam has approved the "Digital Technology Industry Law" which for the first time defines the 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, excluding stablecoins and central bank digital currencies (CBDCs). $ETH
