Published: August 4, 2026
Abstract
This study examines the regulatory experiences of the European Union and Singapore in combating money laundering through crypto-assets, with a view to deriving lessons for Vietnam. Through a comparative analysis, the study identifies key approaches adopted by these jurisdictions, including the development of comprehensive legal frameworks accompanied by detailed implementing guidelines, the conduct of systematic risk assessments alongside strengthened customer due diligence measures, the enhancement of transparency and traceability in digital asset transactions, and the establishment of robust monitoring and enforcement mechanisms. Overall, the findings provide a structured basis for understanding effective regulatory responses to the risks of money laundering in the evolving crypto-assets.
