Minister of Digital Transformation of Ukraine proposed to legalize cryptocurrencies

The Minister of Digital Transformation of Ukraine Mikhail Fedorov plans to legalize cryptocurrencies in the country.

Aboutone of the future deputy ministers, Alexander Bornyakov, said this, noting that although the use and extraction of digital currencies is not prohibited in Ukraine, they do not have an official status.

“People who do this should leave the gray zone and start paying taxes,” Bornyakov said.
