The Eastern European country, which is a global leader in cryptocurrency adoption according to Chainalysis, is trying to become the jurisdiction of choice for crypto startups and is one of the few nations in the world to present a strategy for developing its digital asset industry.
The report (in Ukrainian) entitled “Virtual Assets of Ukraine – 2030,” reflects the results of research conducted between March and June by the ministry together with crypto exchanges, miners and other crypto-community participants.
According to the report, to provide an optimal environment for the digital asset market to develop, the government needs to tackle legal and educational goals.
Among them:
- Provide an appropriate legal framework.
- Ensure a stable taxation regime for the next 3-5 years.
- Allow crypto companies to open bank accounts.
- Issue a central bank digital currency (CBDC).
- Reform the courts to enhance the protection of private property.
The road map also says the bill on the digital assets now before parliament should be passed this year. Tokenized assets, it says, should become part of the existing financial system, and there should be an official way to buy virtual assets for fiat money.
Education also features in the plan, with the development of programs dedicated to blockchain and virtual assets starting with school-aged children. There should be a special program for members of parliament and a master’s course on decentralized finance.
The 11 working groups that compiled the report included examining a way for people to “buy bread for tokens,” the launch of a “fiat-to-crypto gateway,” establishing a regulatory sandbox for crypto ecosystem projects and creating new policies for regulating the digital assets market.
The report predicts that if its recommendations are followed, by May 2024 Ukraine should become of the top 10 crypto nations, with 47% of the population using digital assets and 10% of businesses having their assets tokenized.

What to know:
Pudgy Penguins is emerging as one of the strongest NFT-native brands of this cycle, shifting from speculative “digital luxury goods” into a multi-vertical consumer IP platform. Its strategy is to acquire users through mainstream channels first; toys, retail partnerships and viral media, then onboard them into Web3 through games, NFTs and the PENGU token.
The ecosystem now spans phygital products (> $13M retail sales and >1M units sold), games and experiences (Pudgy Party surpassed 500k downloads in two weeks), and a widely distributed token (airdropped to 6M+ wallets). While the market is currently pricing Pudgy at a premium relative to traditional IP peers, sustained success depends on execution across retail expansion, gaming adoption and deeper token utility.

Rollercoaster bitcoin price moves end up liquidating $1.7 billion in bullish crypto bets
More than $1.7 billion in leveraged positions were liquidated in 24 hours as bitcoin fell to $81,000, with long bets accounting for nearly all the damage amid macro jitters and Fed chair speculation.
What to know:
- More than $1.68 billion in leveraged crypto positions were liquidated in 24 hours, with about 267,000 traders forced out of trades.
- Long positions accounted for nearly 93 percent of the wipeout, led by roughly $780 million in bitcoin and $414 million in ether liquidations.
- Analysts say the sell-off was driven less by new bearish sentiment than by overcrowded leverage unwinding, flushing out speculative excess and reducing forced flows in the market.
