#VietnamCryptoPolicy Vietnam has recently made a landmark move in its cryptocurrency policy, passing the "Digital Technology Industry Law" on June 14, 2025. This legislation, effective January 1, 2026, officially recognizes cryptocurrencies as "property" under civil law, ending years of regulatory ambiguity.

The new framework categorizes digital assets into "virtual assets" and "crypto assets," establishing a clearer legal basis for their management. It introduces incentives like tax breaks and special visas for local startups and talent, aiming to foster innovation and position Vietnam as a digital technology hub. While the law paves the way for a regulated crypto market, the government is now tasked with developing specific business rules, oversight mechanisms, and anti-money laundering (AML) standards to align with international expectations and address concerns from bodies like the FATF.
