Vietnam Crypto Regulation Updates 2025: What Platforms Need to Know
Vietnam’s crypto adoption surged by 137% YoY (Chainalysis 2025), prompting stricter regulations. For exchanges like Bitora, navigating these Vietnam crypto regulation updates is critical. Here’s the catch: non-compliance could mean losing 40% of Vietnamese users.

4. Growth Opportunities in Vietnam
Despite regulations, Vietnam remains a hotspot for:
