#VietnamCryptoPolicy

Vietnam’s National Assembly passed the Digital Technology Industry Law on June 14, 2025, officially recognizing digital assets under two categories: “virtual assets” (e.g., in‑game tokens) and “crypto assets” (encryption‑based, such as Bitcoin or Ethereum) . Effective January 1, 2026, the law mandates licensing for exchanges, AML and cybersecurity standards aligned with FATF guidelines (partly to exit Vietnam’s grey‑list status) .
