IBM has launched a tool designed to help customers assess cloud-sovereignty risks and meet regulatory compliance requirements.  The Sovereignty Risk Profile launch comes as digital sovereignty becomes a higher priority for organizations concerned about where data is stored and processed. According to an IBM survey, 93% of executives believe sovereignty needs to be part of their business strategy.   Via the new tool, customers can set up policies related to regulatory and business requirements — such as where data resides and how it’s protected, for instance. These policies can be applied to specific cloud workloads, regions, or zones in the Sovereignty Risk Profile tool, allowing users to track sovereignty requirements “in real time,” IBM Cloud product manager Janet Van said in a blog post, with “visibility into configurations, encryption posture, and environmental controls.”  It’s then possible to assess compliance and decide what workloads meet sovereignty requirements.  Tracking the

Alvin Lang May 31, 2026 10:06 Vietnam’s Ministry of Finance proposes letting SMEs use digital assets like crypto as loan collateral to address a $24B credit gap. Vietnam’s Ministry of Finance has proposed allowing small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) to use digital assets, virtual assets, and intellectual property as collateral for bank loans. This marks a significant policy shift aimed at addressing the credit bottleneck that severely limits funding for SMEs, which comprise over 98% of businesses in Vietnam. The proposal, part of a draft amendment to the Law on Support for SMEs, is now open for public consultation, according to Vietnam News. Under the framework, businesses could secure loans not only with physical assets but also with future-formed assets, property rights, and intangible assets, including intellectual property and cryptocurrencies.

Crypto News Vietnam’s Ministry of Finance has put forward a proposal that would let small and medium-sized enterprises pledge digital assets, virtual assets and intellectual property as collateral against bank loans. The measure forms part of a draft revised Law on Support for SMEs now open for public consultation, and would expand acceptable security to include future-formed assets, property rights and intangible holdings. SMEs account for more than 98% of all enterprises in the country, yet capture roughly 20% of total bank credit. Officials attribute the gap to a shortage of eligible collateral, a constraint this reform aims to dismantle for technology-driven firms holding patents, software and tokenised assets. Stablecoin issuer Circle has frozen roughly $12.6 million in USDC linked to the confidential USDC smart contract operated by privacy protocol Z

The post Vietnam Proposes Digital And Virtual Assets As Loan Collateral For SMEs appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. A New Kind of Collateral for Vietnam’s Small Businesses For years, Vietnamese tech founders and small manufacturers have faced a common roadblock: they need capital to grow, but banks demand land titles or factory buildings as collateral—assets many startups simply don’t own. A draft amendment now under public consultation could rewrite that rulebook. Vietnam’s Ministry of Finance has proposed expanding legal collateral to include digital assets, virtual assets, and intellectual property, opening a path for crypto portfolios and tokenized IP to back business loans. According to the original report published by WuBlockchain via Vietnam News Agency, the proposal is embedded in a draft revision of the Law on Support for SMEs. It explicitly lists future-formed assets, property rights, and digital and virtual assets among acceptable forms of collateral for bank loans, alongs

Vietnam’s Ministry of Finance has proposed letting small and medium-sized enterprises use digital assets, virtual assets and intellectual property as collateral for bank loans.

SMEs and household businesses account for more than 98% of all enterprises in Vietnam, yet outstanding loans to the segment represent only around 20% of total bank credit in the economy, per the report.
