#VietnamCryptoPolicy

In 2025, Vietnam is officially moving towards regulating the cryptocurrency market, as the government launched a "crypto exchange" pilot in March with official licensing from the Ministry of Finance. Central banks have also been tasked with drafting a legal framework to monitor trading and protect investors. The regulations include strict measures to combat money laundering, such as thorough user verification and reporting suspicious transactions, as well as record-keeping for five years. This initiative comes amid an influx of hundreds of billions of dollars in cryptocurrencies into Vietnam, as governments seek to transform the chaotic virtual environment into an organized market that promotes growth and shields investors and society from the downsides of speculation and financial crimes.
