#VietnamCryptoPolicy Vietnam legalizes cryptocurrencies under the new digital technology law
Vietnam approved a comprehensive digital technology law that legalizes crypto assets and outlines incentives for artificial intelligence, semiconductors, and infrastructure.
The National Assembly of Vietnam approved the Digital Technology Industry Law on June 14, placing digital assets under regulatory supervision.
The legislation, which will take effect on January 1, 2026, recognizes crypto assets and lays the groundwork for broader digital innovation across the country, according to local media reports.
The law classifies digital assets into two categories: virtual assets and crypto assets. While both are based on encryption or digital technologies for validation and transfer, neither includes securities, digital fiat currencies, or other financial instruments.
