Vietnam's draft electronic identity law incorporates digital assets into a unified identity system: Compliance implications for the crypto industry.

Vietnam's Ministry of Public Security has released a draft law on electronic identity recognition and authentication, which includes digital assets in five categories of identifying entities and mandates a link between assets and their owners' electronic identities. The draft was temporarily added to the National Assembly's agenda via Government Resolution No. 125. If passed, it will make Vietnam one of the world's first jurisdictions to implement identity-based management of digital assets through written law, profoundly impacting the KYC/AML obligations of VASPs and licensed institutions.
