Next Week, Ukraine to Consider Bill on Crypto Assets
The Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine is preparing for the first reading of a bill that will establish a comprehensive regulatory framework for crypto assets. The debate is expected to take place on August 19, 2025, according to Danylo Hetmantsev, Chairman of the Committee on Finance, Tax and Customs Policy.
The proposed legislation will define the classification of crypto assets, assign regulatory responsibilities, and introduce a taxation mechanism for capital gains from cryptocurrency transactions.
Originally planned for a first reading in April 2025, the bill was approved by the Hetmantsev Committee at the end of that month but faced delays. Deputy Committee Chairman Yaroslav Zheleznyak said the initiative was temporarily blocked by the Office of the President.
Currently, the bill is listed fifth on the parliamentary agenda for August 19 and will be reviewed during the Committee on Digital Transformation session starting at 10:00 (Kyiv time).
Both Hetmantsev and Zheleznyak noted that the document will undergo significant revisions after its initial reading, aiming to refine Ukraine’s approach to regulating and taxing the rapidly growing cryptocurrency sector.
