It creates a climate for legal field formation, setting the suppliers list, and registration procedure. It also means new crypto sphere monitoring methods will appear. We wait until the law is enacted and the changes in the tax code.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>What about crypto bank cards? Will we have crypto hryvnias?<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ukrainian CBDC <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">(digital hryvnias)<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is in test mode already. Once it is launched and the Russian forces are defeated, there will be a unique situation of crypto burst in Ukraine. Millions of users will get the simplest access: KYC <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">(authorization)<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> will be held via Diya <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">(the government app)<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> in a minute. The crypto bank cards with different crypto assets will appear, too.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Will cryptocurrency be equal to the \u201caverage\u201d one? Will we be able to pay for groceries with cryptocoins?<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Not quite. The hryvnia (and digital hryvnia) will be the only official payment method. But I\u2019m sure there will be a possibility to auto-convert most of your digital assets to hryvnia the moment you pay for goods or services. At least it is in the Sl8 backlog already.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>What will it give to business and Ukraine in general?<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ukrainian businesses and startups will draw serious investments. The smaller Ukrainian investors will be the first (some studies suggest they have around $80 b of unused costs). Then the bigger ones will join. It will bring tens of billions of dollars yearly.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Ukrainian companies and startups will be able to raise funds for their development in cryptocurrency legally. UAF became the first of such projects, based on the Sl8 social network: token-as-a-service. But instead of a startup, the funds are raised for the Ukrainian Armed Forces.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ukraine will become the world&#8217;s first country with crypto mass adoption, and Kyiv will become the crypto capital of the world.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Thanks!
