Ukraine Adopts Law To Legalize Crypto
Earlier, today Ukrainian parliament considering Ukraine’s large scale crypto adoption finally passed the law to regulate cryptocurrency. Earlier in September, 2021 Ukraine parliament passed a bill to regulate crypto with required laws and tax codes still pending.
This announcement comes days after Russian Govt. regulated crypto as legal currency in the country. Ukraine and Russian both are trying to impose their supremacy over crypto adoption. As reported by Coingape, Russians hold more than $200 Billion worth of crypto and Russian Govt. stands an opportunity to collect $13 Billion in crypto taxes per year.
Ukraine is also not far behind and country is ranked 4th in global crypto adoption index by Chainalysis. Yearly crypto transaction volumes in Ukraine is estimated to be around $8 Billion.
