On Wednesday, June 11, 2025, a bill No. 13356 was submitted to the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine, which provides for the creation of a national crypto reserve. The initiative allows the National Bank of Ukraine to include virtual assets, including Bitcoin, in the country's foreign exchange reserves. This step could be a significant shift in Ukraine's financial strategy, especially in the context of the ongoing war with Russia, now lasting more than 1200 days.
The bill presented by the people's deputies aims to integrate Ukraine into global financial innovations. Its authors believe that effective management of crypto-assets can strengthen macroeconomic stability. The idea was first voiced at the CRYPTO 2025 conference in February, and now the revised document has approached consideration in parliament. Experts note that implementation will require significant legislative changes, which may delay the process.
Support for the initiative has been expressed by international companies such as Binance, who see this as an opportunity for the development of the crypto market. At the same time, discussions are ongoing in society: some support the innovations, while others are skeptical due to economic challenges and the risk of regulatory difficulties. If the bill is adopted, Ukraine could become the first European country with a state crypto reserve, following the examples of the USA and other countries.
This step could not only enhance financial stability but also attract investors; however, success depends on clear regulation and political will. Discussions are ongoing, and the future of the crypto reserve in Ukraine is still uncertain.
