Vietnam’s Ministry of Finance proposes letting SMEs use digital assets like crypto as loan collateral to address a $24B credit gap.
Vietnam’s Ministry of Finance has proposed allowing small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) to use digital assets, virtual assets, and intellectual property as collateral for bank loans. This marks a significant policy shift aimed at addressing the credit bottleneck that severely limits funding for SMEs, which comprise over 98% of businesses in Vietnam.

The post OneFunded Review: Can Crypto Traders Use this Prop Firm to Trade Digital Assets with Institutional Capital? appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com.
Zion Market Research estimates that the global cryptocurrency trading platforms market was worth around $60.40 billion in 2024, and that it will blow past half a trillion dollars to $693.86 billion by 2034. As that happens, Zion noted, interest in speculating on the prices of digital assets will also blow up. In other words, the firm sees immense expansion potential for the crypto contract for difference (CFD) space. More activity in the crypto CFD space means that a lot of retail traders will want to join the party and make something out of their skills. But as it has always been the case with retail traders looking to manage larger capital accounts, most of the crypto traders won’t be in the position to participate at that level.

The post Vietnam Eyes Crypto-Backed SME Loans as Circle Freezes $12.6M, Bitcoin ETFs Bleed $3B appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com.
Crypto News Vietnam’s Ministry of Finance has put forward a proposal that would let small and medium-sized enterprises pledge digital assets, virtual assets and intellectual property as collateral against bank loans. The measure forms part of a draft revised Law on Support for SMEs now open for public consultation, and would expand acceptable security to include future-formed assets, property rights and intangible holdings. SMEs account for more than 98% of all enterprises in the country, yet capture roughly 20% of total bank credit. Officials attribute the gap to a shortage of eligible collateral, a constraint this reform aims to dismantle for technology-driven firms holding patents, software and tokenised assets. Stablecoin issuer Circle has frozen roughly $12.6 million in USDC linked to the confidential USDC smart contract operated by privacy protocol Z
