Against the backdrop of the Fourth Industrial Revolution and the rapid expansion of the digital economy, digital assets have gradually become an integral component of the global economy. Alongside new opportunities for innovation, investment, and market development, the emergence of various forms of digital assets - including cryptocurrencies, virtual currencies, non-fungible tokens (NFTs), digital data, and tokenized assets - has also given rise to a wide range of novel legal issues concerning ownership, transactions, investor protection, cybersecurity, anti-money laundering, and public regulation.
To provide an international academic forum for exchanging legislative experiences and discussing legal and regulatory approaches to digital assets, Ho Chi Minh City University of Law is pleased to announce the International Scientific Conference entitled: “Legal Frameworks Governing Digital Assets in Selected Regional Jurisdictions”.

-
I. Defining digital assets1. Are digital assets defined in national law, including legislation and case law? If so, please provide the definition. 2. Does national law classify digital assets (for example, distinguishing cryptocurrencies from other types of tokens)? If so, please explain the classification. 3. Where national law recognises different categories of digital assets, what are the main features of the legal regime applicable to each category? 4. Does the State hold a monopoly on the issuance of digital assets? 5. Is the development of digital assets prohibited or restricted in any sector? 6. How are digital assets classified under property law (as intangible property, property rights, etc.), and what are the principal legal consequences of that classification? 7. Are personal and non-personal data regarded as digital assets? 8. Does national law identify any digital items that are not regarded as digital assets?
-
II. Establishing ownership of digital assets9. What legal grounds allow ownership of digital assets to be acquired? 10. Are traditional methods of acquiring ownership suitable for digital assets? 11. Who owns digital assets derived from data generated by artificial intelligence? Who owns aggregated data? 12. How can a person claiming ownership of a digital asset prove that ownership? 13. How does ownership of a digital asset become effective against third parties? Can rights in a digital asset within a service arrangement based on a contractual network be asserted against third parties outside that network?
