Ukraine's Central Bank explores Bitcoin blockchain technology and promotes Bitcoin regulation

Representatives of the Ukraine Bitcoin Foundation (BFU) and the National Bank of Ukraine (NBU) met on the 19th of this month. Interestingly, the meeting was held at the request of the Ukrainian Bitcoin Foundation by娜塔莉亚•拉科, director of the bank's payment systems department. According to迈克尔•乔巴尼扬, founder of Kuna Bitcoin, Natalia's department is familiar with Bitcoin technology and the advantages of Bitcoin payments, and she held this meeting to let people from other departments of the bank understand Bitcoin blockchain technology.

The meeting also indirectly showed that Ukrainian financial institutions are taking Bitcoin technology seriously and want to find ways to apply Bitcoin technology to the financial system.

亚历山大•莫特, a member of the board of directors of the Bitcoin Foundation of Ukraine, explained:

“Now, the national bank is trying to accept that bitcoin exists and trying to understand how to treat it, moving forward.”

Michael Chobanyan noted:

“Ukraine is the third country in the world, after the United Kingdom and Canada, where the central bank has decided to study the prospects of digital currency technology in the future financial sector. This is good and ensures that we maintain our current leading position in the field of Bitcoin.”

The meeting was a complete success, Chobanyan said:

“In my opinion, the conference was very successful and had a positive impact. I believe that the future of Bitcoin development in Ukraine is bright.”

He also revealed that Natalia and谢尔盖•夏特斯基, director of retail payments, will speak at the Bitcoin conference Kiev on September 24th.

“Bitcoin technology will develop because it is the future. There is no reason to control its development. We can only create conditions for its integration into the development of traditional enterprises. This is why we are promoting the Ukrainian Bitcoin business license plan.”

As early as May 27 this year, Jonibayan introduced Ukraine's own BitLicense draft. The draft, which received a good response from the Central Bank of Ukraine and the financial sector, will create a self-regulatory organization (SRO) to issue business licenses to digital currency companies.

As blockchain technology continues to gain traction for its ability to replace traditional means of recording information, such as smart contracts, real estate, intellectual property and online voting, more and more banks are realizing that they can no longer ignore this emerging technology.
