Vietnam dey move go regulated crypto market, Deputy Finance Minister Nguyen Duc Chi talk say official small‑small activity fit start as early as Q3 2026. The aim na to meet the rising demand and make safety and transparency better under formal framework.
For licensing, five Vietnamese firms don clear initial qualification round to run the country’s first regulated cryptocurrency exchange. The group get affiliates of Techcombank, VPBank and LPBank, plus VIX Securities and Sun Group. Regulators dey move things for tax policy too: Vietnam draft framework for February to tax crypto transactions like traditional securities, dem propose 0.1% individual tax per transaction wey go pass through licensed provider.
Traders suppose note market context: Vietnam high for crypto adoption (Chainalysis: 4th globally for 2025). But most activity still dey happen for offshore venues like Binance, OKX and Bybit. A regulated crypto market fit slowly shift liquidity onshore, but when and how much go depend on exchange licensing progress and the details/timing of tax implementation.
Bottom line: the regulated crypto market timeline dey positive short‑term, but expect more incremental liquidity impact no be immediate price shock.
Bullish
Dis good for crypto because Vietnam dey build onshore regulated crypto market with exchange licensing and clear tax framework—both dey reduce uncertainty compared to offshore places. For short term, the Q3 2026 target fit raise expectations and boost perceived legitimacy, supporting risk-on positions. But the impact on any single coin price likely go small because trading volumes and liquidity fit shift slowly and depend on how fast licensed exchanges go live and how exactly the 0.1% crypto tax dey implemented.
