The post Crypto Regulations in Vietnam 2025 appeared first on Coinpedia Fintech News
The crypto landscape in Vietnam has experienced a significant transition from an unregulated to a regulated one. Since 2017, Vietnam has been working on regulating cryptocurrency within a modern framework, and this effort is still ongoing as of 2025. Therefore, cryptocurrency is not banned in Vietnam; however, it is neither legally considered nor protected as an asset.
September 11, 2025- Decree No. 245/2025/ND-CP
July 25, 2025- Launch of NDAChain
June 14, 2025 – Law on Digital Technology Industry
April 17, 2025- MOF’s crypt regulatory sandbox
March 6th – 9th, 2025- Notification No. 81/TB-VPCP
March 1, 2025- Directive No. 05/CT-TTg
January 9, 2025- Resolution No. 03/NQ-CP
February 2024- May 2025- Decision/QD-TTg
Currently, the Vietnamese government is actively working on creating a legal framework for cryptocurrency and other digital assets. It mainly focuses on:
| Tax type | Tax rate | Application |
| Capital Gain tax | 20% | On the conversion of crypto into other fiat currency |
| Income tax (individuals) | 5-35% | Mining, staking, airdrops |
| Income tax (business) | 20% | Mining, staking, airdrops |
| VAT | 10% | Service fees for crypto exchanges |
| Exemption | – | First VND 10 million in gains per year |
| Penalty | Starting at VND 2 million or 2% of the unpaid tax | Failure to comply |
Under the Law on Digital Asset Technology, Vietnam created a legal framework for crypto licenses. It establishes anti-money laundering (AML) and cybersecurity, consumer protection, and transaction transparency measures for classified crypto assets such as Bitcoin and Ethereum.
It explicitly excludes Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs) and securities, meaning the licensing provision does not apply to them.
With a significant amount of the Vietnamese population using Bitcoin, the country has become a crypto hub. Vietnam’s ambition to become a blockchain leader by 2030 has halted due to uncertainty in the regulatory framework. However, in 2025, the government introduced comprehensive regulations, leading to significant development in the field. With upcoming laws for consumer protection, dispute resolution, and mitigating illegal activities, Vietnam’s victory in tech is certain.
