Vietnam's Deputy Finance Minister Nguyen Duc Chi has announced plans to pilot a digital asset exchange in March. The state-licensed "trading floor" is designed to protect participants' rights while embracing the crypto revolution. Both the Ministry of Finance and the National Bank are working on a regulatory framework for digital currencies, and Prime Minister Pham Minh Thanh is pushing to unveil it this month. The move is part of a broader goal to boost economic growth to at least 8 percent by 2025, as Vietnam steps up support for businesses to issue virtual assets and mobilize financial resources.
