The parliamentary bill card confirms that the Finance, Tax and Customs Policy Committee has been designated main rapporteur, with the Digital Transformation, Budget, Anti-Corruption and EU-Integration committees assigned as co-reviewers.
According to an explanatory note published by the LigaZakon legal portal, the draft would insert virtual assets into the list of internationally recognised reserve assets under the 1999 Law “On the National Bank of Ukraine.”
It would also authorise three new channels for acquiring such assets—direct market purchases, acceptance of income denominated in virtual assets and borrowings of virtual assets from multilateral lenders or foreign central banks—and would permit their disposal either through open-market sales for monetary-policy purposes or through repayment of virtual-asset liabilities to official creditors.
Ukraine’s international reserves stood at $44.53 billion on 1 June, according to the NBU data cited by Sudova Yurydychna Hazeta. Supporters argue that allowing a crypto component would diversify that stockpile and could serve as a back-up settlement rail if wartime disruptions sever traditional channels.
Under Rada procedure the draft now awaits a first-reading recommendation from the Finance Committee, after which it can be scheduled for plenary debate. No timetable has been announced, but the bill’s cross-factional sponsorship and the absence of immediate objections from the central bank suggest the proposal will receive serious consideration in the coming months.
At press time, BTC traded at $10,976.
