Vietnam Moves to Allow Seizure of Digital Assets in Special Cases

  • Digital assets added to the scope of state requisition for the first time
  • Parliamentary committee seeks limits due to irreversible on-chain transactions
  • Seizure allowed only for defense, security, emergencies or disasters
  • Draft is set for approval at the October 2026 session
Why it matters: Vietnam is broadening its legal framework for crypto assets, setting a precedent for regulation across Southeast Asia.
