#VietnamCryptoPolicy Vietnam legalizes cryptocurrency and revives the digital sector

Vietnam marked a historic turning point for the cryptocurrency market with the adoption of the Digital Technology Industry Law. Effective from January 1, 2026, this law is the first comprehensive legislation fully dedicated to the regulation of digital assets. Vietnam introduces an innovative regulatory framework for cryptocurrencies and digital assets. Approved by the National Assembly on June 14, 2025, the law introduces a two-tier classification system that clearly distinguishes between virtual assets and crypto assets. The former includes non-financial tokens, loyalty points, and digital goods in the gaming sector. The latter includes assets based on cryptographic technologies and distributed ledgers, such as Bitcoin, Ethereum, and even NFTs.
