Why did Zelensky not accept the document? The Ukrainian leader was not satisfied with one of the paragraphs of the bill. It implies that the cryptocurrency market should be regulated by different authorities depending on the type of asset.
The document also did not exclude the creation of a new agency that would control the virtual domain. This could be the National Virtual Asset Management Service (NVAMS).
What exactly attracted the President's attention? Zelensky noted that the formation of a new state agency would require significant expenses. Moreover, the president is not sure if the agency will be able to provide transparent conditions for all market participants.
According to Zelensky, Ukraine should rely on international experience with financial regulators to monitor cryptocurrencies. He suggested giving the National Commission on Securities and Stock Markets and the National Bank of Ukraine the rights to control virtual assets.
What is the Ukrainian National Bank’s attitude to cryptocurrencies? As previously stated, the head of the Ukrainian financial regulator Kirill Shevchenko, commenting on the new bill, stated that he feared the use of digital assets by citizens for money laundering. The main risk in this case is the transformation of the country into a global laundry.
