#VietnamCryptoPolicy Vietnam has recently passed a landmark "Law on Digital Technology Industry," set to take effect on January 1, 2026, which formally legalizes and defines crypto assets. This new framework aims to clarify the previously ambiguous legal status of cryptocurrencies, categorize them into "virtual assets" and "crypto assets," and establish foundational regulations.
The policy emphasizes security, compliance, and robust Anti-Money Laundering (AML) protocols, aligning with international standards to address concerns from bodies like the FATF. While specific detailed rules are still developing, this move signals Vietnam's commitment to integrating digital assets into its economy, fostering innovation, and positioning itself as a digital tech hub.
