[CoinDesk] Ukraine’s central bank opposes crypto bill, citing monetary sovereignty concerns

Ukraine’s central bank has declined to support the country’s crypto legalization bill in its current form, asking lawmakers to revise the legislation before a final vote. The National Bank of Ukraine cited monetary sovereignty concerns, arguing the bill as drafted could cede too much control over money issuance and oversight to the crypto market. The stance matters because the bill is the country’s main path to formalizing digital-asset trading and could shape how tokens are supervised alongside the national currency. Lawmakers must now decide whether to amend the text to address the central bank’s objections or push ahead without its backing. What to watch next is whether a revised draft emerges that satisfies the NBU and clears a final parliamentary vote.
