## Resource

Vietnam’s Ministry of Finance is rolling out a bold new plan to unlock credit for small and medium-sized businesses by letting them use digital assets, virtual assets, and intellectual property as collateral—opening doors for tech startups and innovators who lack traditional physical assets. With SMEs making up 98% of businesses but only accessing 20% of bank credit, this move aims to level the playing field by encouraging banks to evaluate credit based on business plans, cash flow, and market potential—not just fixed assets. The proposal also includes green incentives like lower interest rates, tax breaks, and support for ESG reporting, aligning with Vietnam’s rising global crypto adoption and potential launch of a regulated crypto market next year. Public feedback is still open—this could be a game-changer for Vietnam’s innovation economy. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
