Ukraine intends to launch a strategic bitcoin reserve under the new cryptographic law
According to Coincentral, Ukraine is working on a legal framework for holding bitcoin in its national reserves, and a special parliamentary committee headed by a finance official is finalizing the draft legislation, according to Coincentral.
Senior parliamentarian Yaroslav Zhelezniak confirmed that Ukraine plans to build an infrastructure for cryptocurrency reserves, and he is responsible for overseeing the preparation of the relevant draft law. The proposal aims to regulate how the state acquires, stores and manages its Bitcoin reserves, seeking to be consistent with cryptocurrency regulations expected to be introduced in 2025, with laws that will support the holding of digital assets for national fiscal planning, and authorities that will ensure transparency, compliance, and oversight by central banks and regulators.
It is reported that Ukraine is receiving support from Binance to establish a national bitcoin reserve, and the cooperation includes providing guidance on the reserve mechanism and technical infrastructure, and the two sides are actively discussing the implementation of the reserve strategy. In addition, Ukraine, in coordination with the National Bank and the International Monetary Fund, plans to adopt a comprehensive law on digital assets by early 2025, covering fiscal policy development, exchange regulation, anti-money laundering measures, and capital gains tax, among others, clarifying the legal responsibilities of market participants and state institutions.
