There are at least 16.6 million crypto users in Vietnam, and it is one of the fastest-growing countries in terms of crypto adoption. Statista also presented similar numbers, particularly in terms of Bitcoin (BTC) and DeFi interest.

Specifically, Bitcoin is searched more by Vietnamese crypto users by 84.5% compared to the rest of the altcoin market. However, this is just the tip of the iceberg.
