Golden Finance reported that on July 20, Vietnam issued Decree No. 284/2026/NĐ-CP on July 16, officially establishing an administrative enforcement and penalty framework for violations involving cryptocurrencies, providing a basis for law enforcement in the soon-to-be launched regulated crypto market. Under the decree, investors who trade through unlicensed platforms face a maximum fine of 50 million Vietnamese dong (approximately $1,900); those who issue crypto assets without authorization and commit serious anti-money laundering (AML) violations face a maximum fine of 200 million Vietnamese dong (approximately $7,700). At the same time, authorities are also simultaneously authorized to suspend related activities, revoke licenses, and confiscate assets. The decree will take effect on September 1. In terms of the background, Vietnam opened applications for domestic crypto exchange licenses earlier this year in January. Deputy Finance Minister Nguyễn Đức Chí previously said that the first batch of regulated activities is expected to begin in the third quarter.
