Privacy coins in Vietnam

In Vietnam, both Zcash and Monero are not available on licensed platforms. Vietnam moved from an unregulated environment to a formal licensing regime in early 2026 (Law on Digital Technology Industry, effective January 1, 2026). The pilot prioritizes tokenized real-world assets and excludes generic privacy coins.

Tax treatment is still being clarified; confirm with a Vietnamese tax advisor before any major moves.
