Gate News message, April 26 — Vietnam’s government plans to launch a five-year pilot program for regulated crypto assets in the second quarter of 2026, transitioning previously offshore and unregulated cryptocurrency trading to a domestically regulated market, according to BlockBeats.
Vietnam’s traders currently conduct $220-230 billion in annual cryptocurrency transactions, with daily volumes exceeding $600 million. The pilot program will only permit locally registered institutions meeting strict capital and compliance requirements to participate. Trading assets must be backed by real-world assets and settled in Vietnamese dong (VND).
