What the law actually says

Is Ethereum trading legal in Vietnam?

Vietnam moved from tolerated grey market to a licensed pilot in 2025. Resolution 05/2025/NQ-CP, in force from 9 September 2025, opens a five-year pilot crypto asset market: crypto assets may be used for exchange or investment, all offering, issuance, trading and settlement must be in Vietnamese dong, and domestic and foreign investors may open accounts at providers licensed by the Ministry of Finance. The licence bar is high — VND 10,000 billion of contributed charter capital, at least 65% held by organisations, foreign ownership capped at 49% — and the Ministry of Finance, with the Ministry of Public Security and the State Bank, selects up to five providers in total.

What the contract is

The contract itself does not change by geography: a ETH perpetual settles in USDC everywhere.

WORKS

The only rail the pilot regime allows: settlement in dong through one licensed VND account, reported quarterly.

LIMITS

Once the dominant route to offshore venues, now closed for domestic investors once a licensed provider exists.

Debit/credit card

LIMITS

Issuer-dependent; the pilot Resolution does not address card funding.

E-wallets (MoMo, ZaloPay, VietQR)

BLOCKED

Domestic e-wallets and QR rails are not used to fund crypto accounts in observed market practice.

04.

Choose Buy / Long, then set size and leverage

Buying $1,000 of ETH at 5x uses $200 of collateral. Higher leverage moves the liquidation price closer to your entry: your exposure is the position size, whatever margin you posted. Set a stop-loss below your entry before you walk away.

Tax note — Vietnam

No crypto-specific rate exists yet. Until Vietnam promulgates tax policy for the crypto asset market, the tax rules for securities apply to the trading, transfer and business of crypto assets. Resolution 05/2025/NQ-CP states no percentage rate.
