Prime Minister Le Minh Hung has directed the pilot launch of a trading platform for crypto and digital assets starting in the second quarter of 2026, as part of efforts to develop new economic models.
He made the direction ơn April 9, while presenting a government report at the first session of the 16th National Assembly held in Hanoi.
The PM outlined updates on the implementation of the 2025 socio-economic development plan, progress on the 2026 plan, and key tasks for the remainder of the year.
The report also highlighted strategic orientations for emerging economic models.
According to the Prime Minister, authorities will develop a carbon credit market and pilot trading platforms for data, crypto assets, and digital assets beginning in the second quarter of this year.
Earlier in March, the Ministry of Finance sought feedback from the Ministry of Public Security and the State Bank of Vietnam on applications for licences to operate crypto asset trading platforms. The ministry said it had received seven applications, of which five were deemed valid and complete under current regulations.
