#加密生态动态追踪 # Vietnam to Launch Digital Asset Transfer Tax in 2026, Traders Face 0.1% New Cost Pressure

Vietnam's crypto regulation is moving towards practical implementation. According to the latest plan, starting from July 1, 2026, digital asset transfer transactions will be officially taxed at 0.1%. For trading groups already struggling in the bear market, this undoubtedly adds another layer of cost.

A quick calculation shows how significant the impact will be. For a $50,000 BTC trade, the tax alone will deduct $50, plus the trading fees charged by the exchange, doubling the cost pressure. At first glance, the 0.1% tax rate seems mild—Vietnam's stock transfer tax is also at this level, and New York State in the U.S. is even considering a 0.2% plan—but in the current low-market, low-profit environment, every additional dollar spent is eating into profit margins.

The background of this matter is that Vietnam has long regarded crypto assets as a gray area, neither explicitly encouraging nor strictly banning them. With the Digital Technology Industry Law incorporating digital assets into the official regulatory framework, taxation is just a supporting measure—there's no issue with the compliance process itself. But the real problem lies here: for retail traders engaging in high-frequency trading, relying on thin margins, and for markets already tight on funds and lacking confidence, what level of difficulty will the dual squeeze of taxes and fees push their survival to? Could this push away more participants?

Rather than passively waiting, it's better to actively think—under such a taxing environment, how should trading strategies be adjusted? How much room is there for cost control? How can one maintain stable profits under the double attack of taxes and market winter? These questions are worth deep consideration for anyone serious about trading.
