However, he did not disclose further details at the time. Ukraine has been consistently open to cryptos, embracing digital asset-friendly rules, even during the peak wartime with Russia.

If implemented, Ukraine would become the first European country to officially hold Bitcoin as a state asset. Binance to Aid Ukraine in Bitcoin Stockpile Creation Binance has previously partnered with Ukrainian regulators in framing a favourable legal framework for digital assets. Now, the largest crypto exchange is supporting the nation’s ambition to create a strategic crypto reserve, Kirill Khomyakov, Head of Binance in CEE, Central Asia, and Africa, told Incrypted. “The creation of such a reserve will require significant changes in legislation, which indicates that this process will not be quick,” Khomyakov noted. However, he did not mention the specific timeframe for the legislation to be ready. “This initiative will likely lead to greater clarity in the regulation of crypto assets in Ukraine, as the government will need to more clearly articulate its position on this issue.” Further, the reserve would aim to enhance financial stability and act as a hedge against fiat currency volatility, particularly given Ukraine’s ongoing economic challenges post-war. Additionally, the initiative would also boost the nation’s global tech image, attracting more crypto businesses and investors in the future.
