The World Economic Forum’s 2025 report found that the group of fintech engineers and digital asset experts are among the fastest growing professions to 2030. Asia is currently the region with the most blockchain personnel in the world, surpassing North America, with India, Vietnam and Singapore emerging as new blockchain workforce development hubs.

The information was announced by Nguyen Van Hien, vice president of the Vietnam Blockchain and Digital Assets Association (VBA) at the conference “Coded assets: Opportunities, risks, and fraud identification” held on October 28 by the association in coordination with the ABAII Institute of Blockchain and Artificial Intelligence and the School of Technology of the National University of Economics.

The event, attended by nearly 800 students and lecturers, is an activity in the ABAII series Unitour 2025, which aims to spread technological and legal knowledge on crypto-assets, blockchain, AI to universities nationwide by the Vietnam Blockchain and Digital Assets Association and the A BAIl Institute.

Dr. Nguyen Quang Huy, head of the Technology School at the National University of Economics, said that blockchain and crypto assets are becoming the pillars of the global digital economy this week: “This is not only a technology trend, but also the foundation for a new growth model. For students, understanding and mastering this technology is their way of actively entering a globalized economy. “

Dr. Le Linh Luong, deputy director of the ABAII Institute, said the event is a bridge between academic knowledge, business, and technology policy, which wants to bring blockchain and crypto assets closer to students who will be directly involved in shaping the market in the coming time — how Vietnam prepares its human resources for the economic era.

In fact, the global crypto asset market is growing rapidly, reaching a capitalization of over US $ 3.8 trillion, with over 600 million users and 25 million token projects being issued. In Vietnam alone, more than 17 million people are owning crypto-assets, placing the country among the Global Top 7 and the Top 3 in the Asia-Pacific region in terms of code-asset acceptance.

In addition, the legal framework for digital assets in Vietnam is increasingly improved with the Law on Digital Technology Industry and the Government’s Resolution No. 05/2025/NQ-CP, which allows pilot introduction of the crypto asset market in the next 5 years, being an important step, opening up opportunities for Vietnam to further participate in the global technology flow.

Nguyen Van Hien, vice president of the Vietnam Blockchain and Digital Property Association, said in 2024 that more than 39,000 new developers joined the blockchain industry, and the Fintech engineers and digital property experts group were among the fastest growing professions to 2030, citing a World Economic Forum Report 2015.

In Vietnam, according to the TopDev 2025 Report, Vietnam will need to add around 200,000 personnel in the blockchain, fintech, and AI sectors over the next three years. Among the most sought-after positions are blockchain programmers, on-chain data analysts, and digital asset legalists, which are expanding rapidly in the digital economy.
Not only does this highlight the opportunities that blockchain and cryptographic assets offer, this event also gives faculty and students of the School of Technology, the National Economics University, the knowledge and skills to identify scams in the area of cryptography assets.

At the discussion session, experts from the Vietnam Blockchain and Digital Assets Association, the School of Technology (National Economics University ), and partners such as Tether, CompTIA, Nippy Labs, and 1Matrix, continued to bring practical perspectives on opportunities, challenges, and give warnings in the fast – growing digital asset sector in Vietnam.

The speakers all argue that cryptographic assets are a big opportunity for the technology generation, but can only be sustainable if developed on three pillars: training, safety, and international integration. Vietnam is on the brink of a special time when the legal framework, technology and human resources converge and students are the “seed” of the new digital economy.
