Circle Sees Stablecoin Opportunity in Vietnam’s Cross-Border Payments
  • Circle’s analysis identifies cross-border settlement as Vietnam’s main stablecoin opportunity, rather than replacing its established domestic payment infrastructure.
  • Digital dollars could reduce liquidity pre-funding needs, with local partners handling final Vietnamese dong payouts through existing banking networks.
  • Payment providers can face USD pre-funding requirements up to three days before weekend supplier settlements, tying up working capital.
  • Vietnam received more than $16 billion in remittances in 2025, including more than $10 billion flowing into Ho Chi Minh City.
  • Digital assets gained legal recognition as property on January 1, 2026, but general crypto and stablecoin payments remain restricted.
