Gate News bot message, the National Assembly of Vietnam passed the “Digital Technology Industry Law” on June 14, 2025, officially incorporating encryption assets into the national legal system.

The new law categorizes digital assets into two specific types: “virtual assets” and “encryption assets”, explicitly excluding financial instruments such as securities and digital fiat currencies. The legislation authorizes the government to formulate specific regulatory guidelines and sets requirements for cybersecurity, anti-money laundering, and counter-terrorism financing.

The law is scheduled to officially come into effect on January 1, 2026, aiming to improve Vietnam’s legal system and align with international standards, in order to help Vietnam remove itself from the FATF gray list.
