#VietnamCryptoPolicy: Vietnam has just made history! On June 14, 2025, the National Assembly passed the landmark Digital Technology Industry Law, officially recognizing crypto assets and ending years of regulatory uncertainty. Set to take effect January 1, 2026, this law creates a clear framework: digital assets are now split into “virtual assets” (think in-game tokens, loyalty points) and “crypto assets” (like Bitcoin, Ethereum, NFTs). Crypto is now legally defined as property, not a security or fiat currency.
The law goes beyond recognition—it launches tax breaks, subsidies, and special visas to boost blockchain startups and digital infrastructure. Exchanges and wallet providers will need licenses and must follow strict AML/KYC and cybersecurity standards, finally addressing FATF’s grey-list concerns.
Vietnam is signaling its ambition to become Southeast Asia’s next Web3 powerhouse, blending regulatory clarity with innovation incentives. The crypto “grey zone” is over—let the digital future begin!
