Last year, I came to Vietnam because of the Axie project. I didn’t expect the crypto atmosphere here to remind me of those crazy bull market years—opportunities everywhere, stories everywhere. But this time, it’s different: the government is pushing it.

**A Few Numbers First**

This year, capital inflows into Vietnam’s crypto market could exceed $220 billion. That’s not small change anymore.

User base? Conservative estimates say over 20 million people are involved, and 70% of them are young people. What does that demographic mean? Those who know, know.

On the policy front, it’s even more impressive—blockchain has been listed as one of the country’s top three national strategies, and compliance pilots are being launched from 2025 to 2030. Licensed exchanges and fiat on-ramps are gradually rolling out. The gray area is turning into a bright avenue.

**Why Now?**

Many people are still on the sidelines. But windows of opportunity never wait for anyone.

From GameFi to RWA, from payments to NFTs, the entire ecosystem is moving upward. This isn't just a boom in a single sector, it’s a systemic opportunity.

Local Telegram groups discuss new projects every day. Some say this place feels like Shenzhen in a certain era, others say it’s like the early days of crypto markets. History always rhymes, but never repeats.

**If You Want to Get Involved**

Here are three things you can start with:

Register an account with a compliant Vietnamese exchange and see how things work locally.

Join a few local communities—information gaps are always the biggest alpha.

Try allocating a small portion of your portfolio, around 5% is enough. Don’t go all in, just secure a spot.

**One Last Thing**

Opportunities always go to those willing to act half a step early.

You can keep hustling in the old battlefield, or you can come check out the new frontier.

The choice is yours.
