Vietnam has legalized cryptocurrencies under its Digital Technology Industry Law, effective January 2026, classifying assets into virtual (e.g., gaming tokens) and crypto (e.g., Bitcoin, NFTs) categories while excluding securities and CBDCs 1 2. The law mandates AML/KYC compliance, aligns with FATF standards, and introduces tax breaks for blockchain/Al sectors to position Vietnam as a regional tech hub 4 8. Despite high adoption (17M users), scams like BitMiner prompted stricter cybersecurity rules 1 11. The move aims to attract institutional investment while curbing fraud in its booming crypto market.
$BTC Bitcoin ($BTC ), trading near $103K, remains volatile but pivotal in crypto markets. Despite a 5% drop from its $110.8K peak, institutional adoption grows via Bitcoin ETFs (BlackRock, Fidelity). Liquidity challenges persist, with wider spreads than traditional assets. Network security hits records (mining difficulty: 126T, hashrate: 918 EH/s), yet fees stay low (~$0.30/tx). Bullish 2025 targets ($150K-$200K) rely on halving-driven scarcity, but bear risks (drop to $78K) loom if macro conditions worsen.

Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell's latest remarks reinforced a patient stance on interest rates, emphasizing the need for "greater confidence" that inflation is moving sustainably toward 2% before cutting. Markets reacted with slight volatility as hopes for near-term easing dimmed.
Powell acknowledged progress on inflation but highlighted risks from a still-strong labor market and resilient economic growth. The Fed remains data-dependent, leaving the door open for adjustments later in 2024.
Investors now shift focus to upcoming CPI reports, which could dictate the timing of the first rate cut.
