#VietnamCryptoPolicy

Vietnam has officially legalized cryptocurrencies under the new Digital Technology Industry Law, passed on June 14, 2025, and effective from January 1, 2026. This landmark legislation recognizes crypto assets as property and classifies digital assets into virtual assets and crypto assets, excluding securities and central bank digital currencies. The law establishes a clear regulatory framework, including anti-money laundering and cybersecurity standards aligned with international norms, addressing Vietnam's previous grey-list status by the Financial Action Task Force. It also offers incentives such as tax breaks, subsidies, and visa perks to blockchain startups and digital infrastructure developers, signaling Vietnam's ambition to become a leading digital technology hub.
