DFDL Vietnam Legal Update: Government Sets Legal Framework and Launches Pilot Program for Tokenized Assets

On 9 September 2025, the Government of Vietnam issued Resolution No. 05/2025/NQ-CP on the pilot implementation of the tokenized assets market in Vietnam (“Resolution 05”). This landmark resolution establishes a five-year pilot program and introduces the first dedicated legal framework for tokenized assets in the country.

Key takeaways include:

  • for the pilot, issuers will need to be Vietnamese entities and trading is limited to foreign investors;
  • while generally, tokenized assets must be backed by real underlying assets; and
  • service providers will face stringent licensing requirements.
