Cryptocurrency Is an Asset, Not a 'Shadow Scheme'
Legalization
P2P Unblocking
Real Estate for USDT

VASP
Cryptocurrency in Ukraine exists in a legal 'grey zone': Law No. 2074-IX 'On Virtual Assets' was signed in 2022, but has not entered into force — it requires Tax Code amendments that parliament has not yet adopted. But the banking system and tax authorities often lag behind reality. You may hold significant funds in USDT or BTC, but the moment you try to convert them to hryvnia or buy an apartment — you will face account blocking, financial monitoring inquiries, and tax authority requests.
O'LAW lawyers in Lviv understand blockchain and know how to communicate effectively with banks and regulators. We help traders, investors, IT professionals, and Web3 entrepreneurs use their digital assets legally and safely. Current as of 2026.
Legal Status of Cryptocurrency in Ukraine (2026)
- De facto permitted: storage, purchase, sale, exchange — courts and tax authority already treat crypto as property
- Risks: without specific legislation, banks classify P2P as illegal entrepreneurial activity; STS taxes under general Tax Code rules
- Unregulated: crypto payments for goods/services; crypto salary; sole proprietor without conversion; exchange licensing
- Situation: Law "On Virtual Assets" No. 2074-IX signed 17.02.2022 — but has not entered into force. Operative basis: general Tax Code and Civil Code rules
Why Can't You Just "Withdraw to a Card"?
Banks treat systematic incoming payments from various individuals (P2P) as illegal entrepreneurial activity. This risks: account blocking at financial monitoring's request; STS fines up to UAH 85,000 and confiscation of undeclared funds (Art. 164 UAC); criminal proceedings for systematic tax evasion (Art. 212 CC). Legal "packaging" of P2P operations is your insurance.

Tax base: profit (sale price minus purchase price) — not turnover. But documenting the purchase price is your responsibility. Without documents, the tax authority may consider the entire turnover as the base. O'LAW lawyer helps gather supporting documentation and reduce the tax burden legally.
