Ukraine Moves to Establish Bitcoin War Chest in Partnership With Binance—Legislation Now in Play

Kyiv doubles down on crypto adoption as draft bill reveals plans for a sovereign Bitcoin reserve—because nothing says ’financial sovereignty’ like outsourcing your treasury to a CEX. Binance confirmed as technical partner, though skeptics note the irony of a nation under invasion betting on an asset class known for volatility.

The proposed reserve would reportedly hold BTC as a hedge against currency devaluation—a bold move for a government still begging for traditional aid. Meanwhile, Wall Street bankers clutch their pearls at the thought of state-backed crypto exposure.

Binance to Aid Ukraine in Bitcoin Stockpile Creation

Binance has previously partnered with Ukrainian regulators in framing a favourable legal framework for digital assets. Now, the largest crypto exchange is supporting the nation’s ambition to create a strategic crypto reserve, Kirill Khomyakov, Head of Binance in CEE, Central Asia, and Africa, told Incrypted.

“The creation of such a reserve will require significant changes in legislation, which indicates that this process will not be quick,” Khomyakov noted. However, he did not mention the specific timeframe for the legislation to be ready.

“This initiative will likely lead to greater clarity in the regulation of crypto assets in Ukraine, as the government will need to more clearly articulate its position on this issue.”

Further, the reserve would aim to enhance financial stability and act as a hedge against fiat currency volatility, particularly given Ukraine’s ongoing economic challenges post-war. Additionally, the initiative would also boost the nation’s global tech image, attracting more crypto businesses and investors in the future.

Binance has been collaborating with governments across the globe to foster crypto adoption. For instance, Binance recently partnered with Kyrgyzstan to launch a nationwide crypto payment infrastructure and establish blockchain education programs.

Countries Embrace Bitcoin as National Reserve Asset

In March, US President TRUMP signed an executive order to establish a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve. The Reserve will be capitalized with Bitcoin owned by the federal government that was forfeited as part of criminal or civil asset forfeiture proceedings, said White House crypto and AI czar David Sacks.

Besides, Brazil is moving to establish a sovereign Bitcoin reserve, with high crypto adoption rates bolstering its potential.

Last month, two Swedish lawmakers urges the government to seriously consider Bitcoin as a part of the nation’s financial strategy. They submitted a letter to the country’s Finance Minister, Elisabeth Svantesson, suggesting that Sweden should begin accumulating Bitcoin through direct policy or a budget-neutral method.
