The Vietnamese government announces the National Blockchain Development Strategy

The Vietnamese government announced the National Blockchain Development Strategy on its official website on October 22, aiming to make Vietnam a leading regional center for blockchain technology research, application, and innovation by 2030. The main goals of this strategy include building 20 leading blockchain companies, establishing testing centers in major cities, and placing Vietnamese institutions among the top ten in Asia in the field of blockchain research. The plan also focuses on improving the legal framework, infrastructure construction, and international cooperation. The Vietnam Blockchain Association (VBA) will assist in developing platforms to provide legal framework support for digital assets and help the government achieve broader digital economy goals, including delisting from the Financial Action Task Force (FATF) grey list by 2025.
