If someone had said a few years ago, "The national television station will include Bitcoin/Ethereum in its performance comparison chart with stocks," many people would probably have thought it was a joke.
But today it actually happened.
📌 In the VTV Index news report, VTV1 presented a table on "Performance of some investment channels in 2025," including:
Bitcoin
Ethereum
Tether
S&P 500
VN-Index
🔥 This shows a very clear change:
Crypto is no longer XEM as a "side game," but is being recognized as an investment channel that can be compared with traditional assets .
✅ So what does this appearance signify?
1) Crypto has entered the "mainstream" in Vietnam.
When VTV included crypto in its performance comparison system, it meant the story had moved beyond the small retail community.
It is becoming part of the broader financial picture.
2) But also a reminder: crypto remains highly volatile.
Looking at the chart, crypto may experience sharp declines in the short term, but it also has a clear upward cycle when money flows back in.
The biggest difference between crypto and the S&P or VN-Index is the volatility – often extremely large.
📌 Future prospects: Where will crypto go?
Looking at it from a "cyclical" perspective and within a macroeconomic context, there are a few noteworthy factors:
1) Interest rates and Fed policy remain major variables.
If inflation cools and the Fed moves to easing, risky assets (including crypto) typically benefit.
Conversely, if the Fed keeps interest rates high for longer, the market will be more cautious.
2) Crypto is becoming increasingly intertwined with traditional assets.
Crypto used to operate quite independently. But over time, it has become increasingly reactive to:
US stocks
bond yield
global liquidation
This makes crypto "more like a financial asset," but at the same time… it's also more susceptible to influence.
3) Institutional cash flow is changing the game.
Not only individuals, but increasingly large organizations are participating through ETFs, funds, and other financial products.
When professional money flows in, the market may become "cleaner," but it will also become "more difficult to trade."
✅ And what about Vietnamese investors?
VTV including crypto in its comparison chart is an important signal:
📌 Crypto is becoming a part of the mainstream financial conversation.
But if you participate, remember one thing:
⚠️ "High profits usually come with high risks."
And crypto is always a place where risk management is more important than any prediction.
💬 What do you think about VTV showing Bitcoin/Ethereum on air to compare it with the S&P 500 and VN-Index?
In your opinion, is this a sign that crypto has officially become "mainstream" in Vietnam , or just news for reference purposes?
