Key Provisions of the Bill on Crypto Assets
The bill provides for the creation of a regulatory framework for participants in the crypto market, defines the classification of crypto assets, allocates powers among regulators, and implements a mechanism for taxing capital gains from cryptocurrency transactions. These changes will promote the legalization and transparency of the digital asset market in Ukraine.
Current Status and Next Steps
The committee, led by Hetmantsev, approved the bill at the end of April 2025. However, according to Member of Parliament Yaroslav Zheleznyak, further consideration of the document was suspended due to the position of the President’s Office. Currently, the bill is included in the agenda of the Committee on Digital Transformation, which is set to begin on August 19 at 10:00 AM Kyiv time. It is expected that this bill will be considered as the fifth item on the agenda.
“Next week, the Verkhovna Rada will consider the bill on crypto assets. This is the regulatory framework for the operation and taxation of this sector.”
Earlier, Hetmantsev and Zheleznyak noted that after the first reading, a lengthy process of refining the document is expected to ensure it meets the needs of the market and regulatory requirements as closely as possible.
