#VietnamCryptoPolicy

Vietnam is rapidly advancing its crypto regulation framework. The Ministry of Finance is drafting a legal regime for virtual assets—targeted for rollout by May 2025—to combat money laundering and define crypto rights . In early 2025, pilot programs began: sandbox exchanges launched at financial hubs in HCM City and Da Nang, with a broader controlled rollout expected by mid‑2026 . Proposed laws will cover issuance, trading, custody, and AML/ cybersecurity. With over 17 million crypto holders and $100 billion+ market value, this shift aims to formalize Vietnam’s booming digital‑asset market while balancing innovation and financial security.
