Mostly, the document revealed that government oversight or intervention isn\u2019t always required in this regard.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">The Ukrainian authorities also recognized the presence of open-source protocols that help the bitcoin network to self-regulate, as well as open network access that ensures easy asset movement and privacy. Social consensus, the Proof-of-Work (PoW) system, cryptography, and decentralization were also recognized as playing significant roles in governing the network and its activities as well.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Making an Enabling Environment for the Crypto Space\u00a0<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">In the absence of any oversight functions for them, the authorities have explained that they will focus on developing enabling policies in areas such as digitization, digital innovation, and the development of an information-driven society. As far as we can see, it would seem that they\u2019ve already gotten a head start on that as well.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">In December 2019, the government of the former Soviet nation officially approved a draft of money laundering laws that governed how virtual assets and digital asset custodians would operate, according to guidelines previously put forth by the Financial Action Task Force (FATF).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">The law, which was published by the Rada (Ukraine\u2019s legislative body), considers digital assets to be sufficient stores of wealth, although it also recognized their usage in aiding financial crimes, terrorist activities, and fraudulent transactions. To curb these activities, authorities explained that for all cryptocurrency transactions worth less than 30,000 hryvnias ($1,300 at the time), the government would be collecting the public keys of the sender to ensure effective financial oversight.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">However, any transaction that exceeds that amount will require government verification of both the sender and receiver. This verification process will include identity confirmation, as well as an audit of the nature of the relationship between both parties.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">As for digital asset custodians and service providers, the threshold will stay at the 40,000 Hryvnia (about $1,600 at the time) level. Service providers will also need to provide authorities with adequate information when traders are registered in a jurisdiction that doesn\u2019t have any anti-money laundering (AML) compliance policies, when traders are family members, and when foreign traders make transactions.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"fin-excerpt\">Ukraine has continued in its efforts to position the country as a hub for emerging technologies, and the administration seems to have zeroed in on <a class=\"read-more-link\" href=\"https:\/\/insidebitcoins.com\/news\/ukraine-publishes-regulatory-guidance-for-its-crypto-mining-industry\" title=\"Ukraine Publishes Regulatory Guidance for Its Crypto Mining Industry\u00a0\">[&#8230;]<\/a><\/div>","protected":false},"author":1770,"featured_media":26213,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"inline_featured_image":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[734,7598,10315,5597,8593],"class_list":["post-249727","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-more-crypto-news","tag-bitcoin","tag-crypto","tag-pow","tag-regulation","tag-ukraine"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v23.8 (Yoast SEO v23.8) -
