Vietnam’s Prime Minister, Pham Minh Chinh, has initiated a push to position Vietnam as a key player in the crypto market, particularly in Southeast Asia. The Vietnam leader is proposing a legal framework for digital assets, which is expected to be implemented this month.
The goal is to regulate ownership, trading, and use of crypto, addressing the current ambiguity that has defined Vietnam’s approach to digital assets. By providing clarity for investors, businesses, and financial institutions, Vietnam will be a good environment for crypto adoption and innovation.

Post Revolution: Vietnam goes Crypto and Digital
Historically, Vietnam has been cautious in its investment and economic development, shaped by its centrally planned economy. But, with the Đổi Mới policy in the late 1980s, Vietnam transitioned to a market-oriented economy, initially focusing on agriculture and small-scale industry.
Over time, Vietnam expanded to welcome foreign direct investment and industrial growth, especially in manufacturing, electronics, and the digital industry. Eventually, by the early 2000s, multinational corporations like Samsung and Intel established major facilities in the country.
Today, Vietnam’s current status as a booming developing country is evident in its rapid urbanization, digital literacy, and high crypto adoption rates. Furthermore, surveys show that a big portion of its population uses crypto for remittances, investments, and transactions.
Below is a proof of how Vietnam has grown as a global economic contender:

As one of the world’s top developing economic contenders, Vietnam provides a fertile ground for the proposed digital framework. Drawing inspiration from regulatory models in Singapore and Thailand, it targets to regulate crypto exchanges, wallet providers, and token issuers.
Subsequently, the Vietnamese framework will mitigate risks while reducing transaction costs for remittances to attract tech startups, which position the country to address both local needs and global standards effectively.
Vietnam to Lead Crypto Adoption in Southeast Asia
The impact of Vietnam’s crypto legal framework on the global market will also be massive. First, it will accelerate the legitimization of crypto in Southeast Asia, a region known for dynamic crypto activity. By formalizing regulations, Vietnam will set an example for neighboring countries.
Therefore, this will encourage regional policy harmonization that boosts investor confidence and liquidity, increasing trading volumes. This will be relevant for projects that bridge stocks and crypto.
With it, Vietnam’s interest in integrating traditional finance with digital assets will align, alongside gaming ecosystems like Axie Infinity. And yes, Axie is a Vietnamese project that has an ATH of $10 billion market cap.

Vietnam’s successful framework will also attract foreign investment, positioning Vietnam as a blockchain innovation hub and drawing capital from established crypto markets like Singapore or Dubai. This will eventually elevate Vietnam’s global economic standing. Vietnam’s entry into regulated crypto will be the bedrock of global market stability by reducing unregulated activities in the region.
Next, the framework can and will accelerate Vietnam’s economic growth, reinforcing its status as a developing powerhouse. It is expected to create tech sector jobs, boost tax revenues from crypto transactions, and boost Vietnam’s appeal to global fintech companies.
Finally, as crypto adoption grows, it will streamline cross-border payments, reducing reliance on traditional banking and lowering costs, pushing Vietnam’s GDP growth beyond the projected 5.1% annually. Crypto adoption will solidify Vietnam’s goal toward becoming a top global economy by 2050.
Vietnam with the crypto legal framework, led by Pham Minh Chinh, is decisive for the country and the global crypto market.
