#VietnamCryptoPolicy The National Assembly of Vietnam passed the Digital Technology Industry Law on June 14, bringing digital assets under the management and supervision.
According to local media reports, this law will come into effect on January 1, 2026, recognizing cryptocurrency assets and laying the groundwork for broader digital innovation across the country.
The law classifies digital assets into two types: virtual assets and cryptocurrency assets. Although both rely on encryption or digital technology for authentication and transfer, neither includes securities, digital fiat currency, or other financial instruments.
The government is currently tasked with outlining business conditions, classifications, and specific supervisory mechanisms for these types of assets.
This law also requires cybersecurity and anti-money laundering measures in accordance with international standards, an effort that may aim to address concerns from the Financial Action Task Force (FATF). Vietnam has been on the FATF's "gray list" since 2023.
In addition to cryptocurrency, this law also reflects the ambition to become Vietnam's digital technology hub.
