Ukraine proposes a 10% tax on cryptocurrency holders to align with EU standards.

The Ukrainian parliament is expected to consider bill number 10225-d at the end of August 2025, imposing a 10% tax on cryptoassets to align with EU standards. The tax includes a 5% personal income tax and a 5% military tax on declared assets, creating a legal basis to legalize the hold.

The bill aims to integrate cryptoassets into the economy, increase transparency, prevent illegal activities, and protect the interests of investors and exchanges. Ukraine currently holds 46,351 BTC worth 5.4 billion USD and may allow the National Bank to include digital assets in its reserves, although it does not recognize them as legal tender.

Drafted with IMF consultation, the bill is expected to balance innovation and financial oversight. Supporters argue that taxes will increase the budget and promote blockchain, while opponents worry about capital flowing abroad. The first reading took place on August 19.
