How to Buy Cryptocurrency in Vietnam

Buying cryptocurrency in Vietnam

Buying cryptocurrency in Vietnam According to a recent report, the country of Vietnam scored second in terms of cryptocurrency use among the 74 economies which were surveyed. Statista, a worldwide market and consumer data provider which conducted the survey, stated that 21% of Vietnamese participants had used or owned cryptocurrency in 2020, second only to Nigeria (32%). Due to high costs of sending money abroad by using conventional means, many locals turned to cryptocurrency exchanges to make remittance payments. However, the State Bank of Vietnam (SBV) doesn�t consider cryptocurrency a legitimate payment method and warns about the dangers of cryptocurrencies due to their volatility. On the other hand, Bitcoin can be used as an asset or good in Vietnam and Vietnamese exchanges like VBTC and Bitcoin Vietnam operate without any limitations. Using cryptocurrency as a means of payment is illegal, along with issuing other cryptocurrencies for the same purpose, but Bitcoin mining isn�t restricted.
