🇻🇳 Vietnam is actively working on crypto regulation, aiming to establish clear rules by 2025 — from taxation to exchange infrastructure.

The Ministry of Finance is testing AML/KYC frameworks, piloting a crypto exchange with Bybit’s support, and gradually introducing fiscal measures, including up to 35% income tax for individuals and 10% VAT on exchange services. The first $400 of annual income remains tax-free.

Over 20% of the population already holds crypto, and that number could exceed 21 million by 2026. Vietnam ranks in the global top 10 for adoption, though state institutions are still keeping their distance.

By 2027, full regulation of digital asset issuance and trading is expected. For now, crypto remains in a grey zone — neither banned nor officially recognized.
