Ukrainian MP Yaroslav Zheleznyak has proposed a new bill to parliament, aiming to include digital assets like Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies in the country’s gold and foreign exchange reserves. The legislation, submitted as draft bill No. 13356, would give the National Bank of Ukraine (NBU) the authority to decide on incorporating these assets into national reserves at their own discretion. Zheleznyak argued that this wouldn’t violate international commitments, indicating the support from private sector entities for crypto asset inclusion in reserves. The proposal has been met with both positive and negative reactions, with some experts suggesting the move could lead to clearer regulations within the cryptocurrency space. Ukraine’s parliament has already passed legislation regarding cryptocurrencies, which now awaits further processing. Meanwhile, central banks like the European Central Bank (ECB) have taken a cautious stance on digital assets, while others remain opposed, highlighting the ongoing debate over the role of crypto in global financial systems.
