South Sudan vs Vietnam
Crypto regulation comparison
South Sudan
Vietnam
No Regulation
Legal
South Sudan has no specific cryptocurrency regulation. Political instability and very limited infrastructure make crypto regulation a non-priority.
Vietnam passed the Law on Digital Technology Industry in June 2025 (effective January 2026), officially recognizing crypto as legal virtual assets. However, the SBV still bans crypto as a payment method. The law requires AML/cybersecurity compliance for all crypto activities. Vietnam consistently ranks among the top globally in crypto adoption. Ministry of Finance to issue detailed guidance before 2026.
