Cryptocurrency Fraud Prevention in Vietnam: 2025 Security Guide
Vietnam’s crypto adoption grew by 210% since 2023, but with $28M lost to scams last year, fraud prevention becomes critical. Here’s how Bitora helps Vietnamese users secure digital assets using blockchain security standards (tiêu chuẩn an ninh blockchain).
1. Vietnam’s Crypto Fraud Landscape
Chainalysis 2025 data shows Vietnam ranks #3 in Southeast Asia for crypto-related fraud. Common threats include:
- Fake exchange websites (42% of cases)
- Smart contract vulnerabilities (33%)
- Phishing attacks targeting VND wallet holders
How to audit smart contracts effectively
Like checking a car’s engine before purchase, smart contracts need 3-layer verification:
- Code review by certified auditors
- Testnet simulations
- Bug bounty programs
2. Security Tools Vietnamese Users Need
Here’s the catch: 68% of Vietnamese crypto holders don’t use hardware wallets. Essential tools include:
| Tool | Fraud Reduction |
|---|---|
| Ledger Nano X | 70% |
| MetaMask phishing detection | 55% |
For local users, we recommend Bitora‘s security checklist with Vietnamese language support.
3. Regulatory Compliance in Vietnam
Vietnam’s Decree 88/2025 requires crypto platforms to implement:
- KYC procedures (đăng ký danh tính)
