🇺🇦 1. Crypto relevance in war
On the 1,175th day of the war, Ukraine felt the importance of decentralized assets. Donations in BTC/ETH since 2022 have already exceeded hundreds of millions of dollars — they are sent for humanitarian aid, the army, logistics, and reconstruction
🤝 2. Binance as a strategic partner
Binance not only operates in Ukraine without restrictions
— this year the company became a ‘Diamond Partner’ of the largest conference in Ukraine, Incrypted Conference (3,000+ participants)
Kyrylo Khomyakov (head of Binance CEE/CA/Africa) actively supports the bill on the state reserve of BTC and advises the authorities
📜 3. Legislative breakthroughs
Draft law No. 13356 (June 10) allows the NBU to form a cryptocurrency reserve alongside currency and gold but does not obligate purchases — the decision remains with the regulator
It is planned to hold approximately 40,000 BTC in a strategic reserve — about $4.5–5 billion
While the law is in its final stage, it may be submitted to the Council in the coming weeks
🌍 4. Pioneers in Europe
If the law passes — Ukraine will become the first in Europe to officially create a state BTC reserve with support
This is a trend of global financial decentralization, following the USA, El Salvador, Switzerland, Brazil
🔧 5. Why is this important?
Financial protection: BTC as insurance against the devaluation of the hryvnia, financial pressure, the impact of war
Regulatory transparency: a new legislative model for virtual assets – clear rules for exchange, taxation, AML
Global image: positioning Ukraine as technologically progressive, ready for financial innovations.
🔮 6. What’s next?
When: the law may be submitted to the Council by the end of summer 2025.
How: after adoption — the NBU will receive a mechanism and the possibility of purchasing/holding BTC.
What for: the reserve can be used as a hedge (not liquidation), as collateral for financial programs, or for crypto infrastructure.
✔️ Conclusion
Ukraine + Binance = digital stronghold of future financing
The synergy of state will, donor funds, and technical support from Binance opens a unique case for creating the first strategic Bitcoin reserve in Europe. This is not just a fund — it is a symbol of financial security flexibility during war and a signal of the future course towards digital statehood.
