It is reported that cryptocurrency will be legalized in Ukraine by the first quarter of 2025, but it is unlikely to provide tax relief. Danylo Hetmantsev, Chairman of the Finance, Taxation and Customs Policy Committee of the Ukrainian Parliament, said: "When it comes to cryptocurrencies, the working group of the Parliament is completing the first reading of a draft law. I believe that the text worked out in cooperation with the National Bank and the International Monetary Fund (IMF) will be ready after the New Year. Our goal is to pass this law and legalize cryptocurrency in the first quarter of 2025. " Hetmantsev said that cryptocurrency will not be tax-free, and the form of tax will follow the example of securities and tax profits when assets are converted into currency. "After consulting with European experts and the IMF, we are very cautious about using cryptocurrency for tax exemption, because it may aggravate tax evasion in traditional markets," he said.

Some insiders said that there is another mystery for fund companies to suspend large-scale subscriptions. As the end of the year approaches, the market gradually enters the stage of differentiation. At this time, the purchase restriction is likely to come from the consideration that the fund manager hopes that the capital side will be more stable.
