Heard about Vietnam's latest move? The Ministry of Finance just dropped a draft circular slapping a 0.1% tax on every crypto transaction — even if you're selling at a loss. Yep, you read that right: red candles still cost you. Companies get hit with 20% corporate tax on net profits, but retail traders bear the blunt end.
Sure, 0.1% sounds trivial. But grind a few dozen trades a day and watch it bleed your edge dry. The upside? Vietnam's finally dragging crypto out of the gray zone. After a 2025 pilot forcing all trades into dong, we're now getting licensed exchanges (with $400M+ capital requirements — not for garage startups) and a clear legal backbone. Crypto's officially recognized as property, no VAT applied — they're treating it like a real financial instrument, not digital confetti.
Vietnam's consistently ranked among the top countries for crypto adoption. Now regulators want their cut while locking out fly-by-night operators. Risky? Absolutely. But unregulated markets breed chaos — and rules, however imperfect, create breathing room for real growth.
Question is: are you willing to pay 0.1% per trade for transparency and access to regulated platforms — or stay in the shadows and risk getting frozen out?

In early 2026, the Trump administration initiated a major strategy to use government-linked funds to invest directly in U.S. companies producing critical minerals. These minerals, such as neodymium, dysprosium, and other rare earth elements, are essential for industries including semiconductors, defense systems, electric vehicles, renewable energy, and advanced electronics.
Key Actions
The administration reportedly plans to take a 10% equity stake in USA Rare Earth, valued at $1.6 billion, along with $1.3 billion in government-linked financing to help expand mining and magnet production facilities in Texas and Oklahoma.
Earlier actions included converting federal grants into equity positions in semiconductor and materials companies, ensuring domestic access to key industrial resources.
Purpose and Implications
Strengthening Domestic Supply Chains
The U.S. has historically relied on foreign suppliers, particularly China, for rare earth minerals. This strategy aims to reduce dependency and secure critical inputs for high-tech and defense industries.
National Security and Industrial Competitiveness
By taking equity stakes, the government can influence production, prioritize supply during global disruptions, and support long-term competitiveness in strategic sectors.
Market Reactions and Risks
Shares of companies targeted by government investments have surged following the announcements. However, experts caution that government ownership in private markets could create fiscal and operational risks if not managed carefully.
Broader Context
This approach reflects a shift toward active government participation in strategic industries. While proponents argue it enhances national resilience and reduces supply chain risks, critics warn it may interfere with free market dynamics outside of crises. The policy underscores the balance between national security, economic growth, and market efficiency.
