How to buy crypto in Vietnam

From zero to the first order

1. Pick a venue that accepts sign-ups from Vietnam

   10 of the 10 exchanges tracked here accept registrations from Vietnam; Binance↗ and Bybit↗ lead our coverage among them. The table below names every one, so start from a venue that will not reject your country.

2. Open and verify the account

   Start from the Binance review on this site — it carries the tracked referral route, the commission disclosure and the current welcome terms. Registration wants an e-mail or phone number and a password; the identity check that follows is the standard pack, a government ID plus a liveness photo, and limits stay tight until it clears.

3. Move money in over the local rail

   NAPAS FastFund 247 is the dominant local funding rail: a real-time interbank transfer service provided by NAPAS to member banks and non-banking organizations, letting customers use cards or bank accounts to send and receive money in real time when funding accounts in Vietnamese dong. Check the rail's own charge as well as the exchange's deposit fee — they are separate costs and only one of them is on the fee page.

4. Price the first order before placing it

   Entry-tier spot taker on Binance is published at 0.100%. Run your own trade size through the fee calculator linked below before the first order — the fee schedule, not the interface, is what you pay for.

5. Keep the tax picture in view

   Under the Ministry of Finance circular guiding tax policy for Vietnam's crypto-asset market pilot, individual investors — resident or non-resident — who transfer crypto assets through licensed crypto-asset service providers pay personal income tax at 0.1% of the price of each transfer. Export your trade history while you still have access to it — reconstructing a year of activity later costs far more than saving a file today.
