Ukraine has begun formal steps to legalize the crypto industry, shifting from a largely unregulated market to one with a defined legal status.<\/p>\n

On Sept. 3, Ukrainian lawmaker Yaroslav Zhelezniak revealed<\/a> that he and his colleagues approved a bill that legalizes and taxes the use of digital assets in the country.<\/p>\n

According to him, the draft bill introduces a tax framework that makes transactions subject to an 18% income levy and a 5% military contribution.<\/p>\n

To encourage compliance, the bill offers a one-year window during which withdrawals converted to fiat currency would be taxed at just 5%.<\/p>\n

He added that regulators for the space have yet to be named, with both the National Bank of Ukraine and the National Securities and Stock Market Commission being considered.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, he pointed out that new revisions would be made to the bill before the second reading.<\/p>\n

Ukraine's crypto industry<\/h2>\n

The legislative move comes as Ukraine faces mounting pressure to bring its crypto sector<\/a> under tighter oversight.<\/p>\n

A recent study<\/a> by the Royal United Services Institute (RUSI) suggested the country could recover up to $10 billion by building a more robust regulatory system.<\/p>\n

According to the report, the country\u2019s thriving over-the-counter markets have become a focal point for illicit financial flows, including purchasing restricted military components, using money-mule networks, and gaps in donor verification rules.<\/p>\n

The report linked these weaknesses to broader geopolitical risks, warning that they create opportunities for foreign actors to launder money into politics and undermine democratic systems.<\/p>\n

Experts at the institute also cautioned that Russian intelligence may be exploiting Ukraine\u2019s wartime distractions to channel illicit funds through local intermediaries.<\/p>\n

Considering this, the report argued that Ukraine risks being perceived as a hub for crypto-based money laundering without stronger oversight, which would damage its financial stability and international partnerships.<\/p>\n

The report comes at an exciting time, as Ukraine ranks among the world\u2019s most active crypto users<\/a>. Data<\/a> from Chainalysis placed the country in the global top ten for adoption and first in Eastern Europe.<\/p>\n

That high level of retail and institutional activity has given lawmakers added urgency, as crypto regulation<\/a> is now seen as necessary to capture tax revenue and shield the economy from illicit activity.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
