Ukraine's central bank calls for amendments to virtual asset law... parliamentary finance committee recommends adoption

Ukraine’s central bank (NBU) has formally opposed the current draft of crypto asset bill 10225-д and asked parliament to revise it, with disputes centering on oversight of foreign tokens and the licensing regime for trading platform operators. The NBU said it supports MiCA-aligned market discipline and IMF recommendations but argued the version prepared for the second reading omits key agreements reached in technical consultations and should be reworked with all legislative participants involved. The central bank said it received the final text late on November 3 and responded the next day, while parliament’s finance committee has recommended adopting the bill. The standoff matters because it could delay Ukraine’s effort to align its crypto market with EU standards and clarify how foreign-issued tokens and exchanges are authorized. What to watch next is whether lawmakers amend the foreign-token supervision and platform licensing provisions before the second reading or push the draft through unchanged.
