Someone said: “Moreover, this law will come into effect only after the adoption of the tax law regarding virtual assets, which is not yet known when it will happen (and whether it will happen at all) Until then, it will not take effect.”

An important online publication noted that a total of 276 Ukrainian lawmakers voted for the bill.

“Cryptocurrencies have been neither legal nor forbidden in Ukraine because there were no laws that defined them. Ukrainians could buy and exchange virtual currencies, but local courts couldn’t protect them if something went wrong,” the same notes say.

Regarding the price of BTC, at the moment of writing this article, BTC is trading in the red, and the king coin is priced at $45,856.32.
