Ukraine has officially taken a legislative step toward integrating digital assets into its financial system. A new draft law submitted to the Verkhovna Rada proposes amendments to the country’s law “On the National Bank of Ukraine,” specifically to include virtual assets like Bitcoin in Ukraine’s gold and foreign currency reserves.
The bill, filed under registration number 13356 on June 10, 2025, was introduced during the 13th session of the IX convocation. It falls under the “Economic Policy” rubric and is backed by a coalition of Ukrainian lawmakers, including Yaroslav Zheleznyak, Oleksii Zhmerenetskyi, and Maksym Buzhanskyi, among others.
The proposed amendment seeks to allow the National Bank of Ukraine to diversify its reserve holdings by incorporating Bitcoin and other virtual assets alongside traditional assets like gold and foreign currencies.
Strategic and Political Support
The bill has been forwarded to several key committees, including:
- The Finance, Tax, and Customs Policy Committee
- The Committee on Digital Transformation
- The Committee on Budget
- The Committee on Anti-Corruption Policy
- The Committee on European Integration
Supporters of the bill argue that including BTC in national reserves would not only modernize Ukraine’s financial infrastructure but also strengthen economic resilience amid growing global interest in decentralized digital assets.
Momentum Builds Across Europe
This move places Ukraine among a growing number of nations exploring state-level Bitcoin adoption. The legislative push comes as more governments seek to hedge against inflation, sanctions, and geopolitical risks by diversifying their sovereign reserve portfolios.
If passed, the bill could make Ukraine one of the first European nations to legally authorize Bitcoin as part of its national reserve strategy, marking a major milestone in crypto’s global integration.
