Ho Chi Minh City, 15 June 2026
Indochine Counsel is pleased to announce its contribution to the Vietnam chapter of The Global Legal Post’s Law Over Borders Cryptoassets Law Guide 2026, a comparative legal guide examining the regulation of crypto assets across multiple jurisdictions.
The Vietnam chapter was authored by Dang The Duc, Managing Partner of Indochine Counsel, and Thai Gia Han, Senior Associate. Their contribution provides practical insights into Vietnam’s developing legal framework for crypto assets and digital assets, including regulatory recognition, licensing considerations, market participation, anti-money laundering obligations, taxation, enforcement, data privacy, cybersecurity, smart contracts, decentralized finance and related legal issues.
As crypto assets continue to move from an emerging technology trend into a more structured area of financial, commercial and regulatory interest, businesses, investors, financial institutions and technology companies are facing increasingly complex legal questions. These include how digital assets are classified, which activities may require regulatory approval, how service providers should approach compliance, and how businesses can manage legal risk in a market that remains under active development.
The Cryptoassets Law Guide 2026 addresses these issues from a cross-border perspective, allowing readers to compare how different jurisdictions are approaching crypto asset regulation. The Vietnam chapter offers a jurisdiction-specific view of a market where legal and policy developments are becoming increasingly relevant to fintech companies, blockchain businesses, digital asset platforms, investors and other market participants.
Commenting on the publication, Mr. Dang The Duc, Managing Partner of Indochine Counsel, said:
“Crypto assets are no longer a purely technological or speculative discussion. They are becoming a regulatory, commercial and governance issue for businesses operating across borders. Vietnam’s legal framework is still developing, but recent policy movements show a clear intention to bring crypto asset activities under closer supervision while maintaining room for innovation. We are pleased to contribute to this international guide and support businesses in understanding the legal direction of this fast-moving sector”.
Ms. Thai Gia Han, Senior Associate | Head of IP&TMT Practice Group, added:
“For companies involved in fintech, blockchain, digital assets or related technology services, legal certainty is becoming a key factor in market entry and risk management. The Vietnam chapter aims to provide a practical overview of the current position and the issues that market participants should monitor closely, from licensing and promotion to AML, data protection and cybersecurity”.
The contribution reflects Indochine Counsel’s continued work at the intersection of law, technology and business. As one of Vietnam’s leading commercial law firms, Indochine Counsel regularly advises clients on technology, media and telecommunications, fintech, intellectual property, data protection, cybersecurity, corporate transactions, market entry and regulatory compliance.

Indochine Counsel will continue to monitor legal developments in this sector and assist clients in navigating the practical implications of Vietnam’s evolving regulatory framework.
