On June 10, the bill was introduced by deputy Yaroslav Zheleznyak from the Voice faction. He suggested adding virtual assets to the country’s gold and foreign exchange reserve.
Getmantsev, the influential representative of the ruling party “Servant of the people”, said that after consultations with the leadership of the NBU it became obvious: the Ukrainian Central Bank categorically did not intend to support the bill, referring to the high volatility of cryptocurrencies.
The head of the financial committee said that the authors of the bill could hardly count on “support for applause” by the NBU, and there are no signs that the regulator will change its position. The NBU considers the possibility of legalizing virtual assets, but excludes their use as an official payment fund.
In parallel, the regulator is working on the launch of a pilot project for testing the digital hryvnia architecture (e-s) in interaction with the European Central Bank, banks of Belgium, France and Singapore.
Earlier, Daniil of the Getmantsev promised the legalization of cryptocurrencies in Ukraine in the first or second quarter of 2025.
