Sumsub hosted a roundtable on digital asset roundtable as part of an International Financial Centre (IFC) mission to London.
Verification platform Sumsub welcomed a high-level Vietnamese government delegation to its London headquarters on July 9 for a closed-door regulations-focused digital asset roundtable. The session focused on sharing compliance insights and regulatory best practices from the UK, EU, Dubai, and ASEAN, as Vietnam prepares to implement its landmark digital asset law in January 2026.
The visiting delegation included representatives from the Government Office, State Bank of Vietnam, Supreme People’s Court, Ministry of Justice, and Da Nang City’s Department of Finance. Officials from the British Consulate General in Ho Chi Minh City and global tech company Wise also joined the session.
The visit builds on Sumsub’s global commitment to regulatory engagement, reinforcing its role in supporting governments as they craft practical frameworks for digital innovation. The roundtable followed Vietnam’s June 2025 passage of legislation formally recognising virtual and digital assets—a move aimed at fostering innovation and accelerating the country’s digital transformation.
“We’ve spent the last ten years helping businesses across the globe navigate complex compliance
requirements, and what’s clear is that collaboration between governments and the private sector is essential to building secure and inclusive digital ecosystems,” said Kat Cloud, Head of Government Relations at Sumsub. “We actively engage with policymakers to help shape practical, forward-looking regulatory frameworks that support responsible innovation, including here in Vietnam’s rapidly evolving digital asset landscape.”
Sumsub has signalled plans to further this cooperation with a proposed follow-up seminar in Hanoi. The initiative is expected to involve additional ecosystem partners, deepening public-private collaboration as Vietnam prepares to roll out its new digital asset framework.
