🚨To Boost Economy by 8%, Vietnam PM Orders Drafting of Crypto Regulations
Prime Minister (PM) Pham Minh Chinh of Vietnam has ordered the Ministry of Finance and the State Bank of Vietnam to draft a legal framework regarding digital assets such as cryptocurrency this month.
This move aims to regulate digital assets like Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH), which currently lack a legal definition in the country. Currently, regulations only cover electronic money linked to fiat currencies, such as prepaid bank cards and e-wallets.
The absence of a legal framework has led many crypto companies to choose to register in other countries like Singapore or the United States, despite operating in Vietnam. This has resulted in a loss of potential tax revenue and domestic economic competitiveness.
PM Chinh also emphasized the importance of a controlled testing mechanism or sandbox to build a secure and scalable digital asset trading platform.
Vietnam has become one of the countries with the highest crypto adoption rates, with 21% of its population holding digital assets in 2021-2022. The Vietnam Blockchain Association also reported that the flow of digital assets reached US$120 billion in 2023. This figure indicates the significant potential of the crypto sector in supporting the country’s digital economy.
With clear regulations, the government hopes to attract more institutional investment and drive the national economic growth target to 8% per year. #news #NewsAboutCrypto $BTC

The announcement of the Crypto Strategic Reserve by US President Donald Trump has received both support and criticism from many parties. This is because Trump did not prioritize Bitcoin (BTC) as the sole asset.
In a post on Truth Social, early Sunday (03/02), Trump plans to include several Altcoins such as Ethereum ($ETH ), XRP ($XRP ), Solana ($SOL ), and Cardano (ADA) in the reserve.
As a result, Trump's decision has drawn criticism from many, including Peter Schiff, a prominent crypto critic, who questioned the logic behind the decision.
“I can understand the reason for having a Bitcoin reserve. I disagree, but I understand. We have a gold reserve, and Bitcoin is often referred to as digital gold. So, it makes sense to have a Bitcoin reserve. But why should there be XRP? What do we need it for?” Schiff wrote on his X account on Monday (03/03).
In addition to Schiff, Head of Alpha Strategies Bitwise Jeff Park also shares the same thoughts. The man even called Trump's move a major political mistake for not prioritizing Bitcoin.
Furthermore, Casa CEO Nick Neuman emphasized that only Bitcoin is worthy of being included in the US national reserve, as it has a limited supply and a clear purpose.
In fact, Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong suggested that only Bitcoin is the best choice for a national reserve. He believes Bitcoin can be digital gold.
However, on the other hand, positive sentiments are also coming from several supporters, including US businessman Dave Portnoy, who said this move will make the XRP token soar.
Meanwhile, Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse welcomed this policy, stating that the crypto industry can only grow if it collaborates. He appreciates Trump's initiative to start realizing crypto innovation.
