[Vietnam Plans to Launch Crypto Asset Pilot Program in 2026] According to the Vietnamese government, Vietnam plans to launch a five-year crypto asset pilot program in the second quarter of 2026, transitioning unregulated offshore crypto trading into a domestically regulated market. Currently, Vietnamese traders handle an annual crypto trading volume of $220-230 billion, with daily transactions exceeding $600 million. The pilot program will only allow participation from locally registered institutions that meet strict capital and compliance requirements. Trading assets must be backed by real-world assets and settled in Vietnamese dong.
