Getmantsev Declares: Cryptocurrencies Are the Inevitable Future – Ownership Set to Skyrocket

Lawmaker Getmantsev drops a truth bomb: Digital assets aren''t just surviving—they''re thriving. As traditional finance scrambles to keep up, crypto adoption charges ahead like a bull market.

Why the surge? Decentralization cuts out middlemen, global access bypasses legacy gatekeepers, and let''s be honest—nothing triggers FOMO like watching your neighbor''s NFT portfolio moon.

Wall Street''s reaction? First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they launch tokenized ETFs with 2% management fees. The irony''s thicker than a Bitcoin whitepaper.

Discussions around the regulator

Getmantsev noted that one of the main constraints remains the question of who exactly should become the regulator of the crypto market. The discussion is between three entities: the National Bank of Ukraine (NBU), the NCSM and the Ministry of Digital Transformation.

“The NBU is a powerful institutionally capable regulator with experience in the banking and non-banking sectors,” – Getmantsev emphasized.

Earlier, the politician emphasized that the NBU has the necessary regulatory experience, while “the NCSBFM has neither ability nor prospects”.

Getmantsev noted that the Commission insists on the registration in Ukraine of all cryptoassets, even those already authorized by EU or US regulators, which, according to the MP, “is nonsense and has nothing to do with reality and creates obstacles.”

He also did not rule out the option of split regulation: for example, the NBU and the Ministry of Finance could share responsibility. The final decision should be made by the Cabinet of Ministers.

About taxation

The basic version proposes taxation at the standard rate of 18% personal income tax 1.5% military levy. There is also a transition period when crypto investors will be able to pay 5% without the obligation to confirm expenses.

“If someone wants to stay in the shadows, that’s a choice. All tax revenues go to the army,” – Getmantsev emphasized.

He admitted that the 23% rate may encourage shadowing, but the model of taxation of investment profits allows to maintain transparency and at the same time fill the state budget in wartime.

Crypto Reserve Perspective

Getmantsev also commented on the idea of creating a state crypto-reserve. According to him, the initiative is interesting, but it should be developed by the National Bank. However, he is skeptical about its implementation in the NEAR future.

“It’s a cool idea, but so far the state is not seriously working on it. We should first pass a law and then MOVE on,” – he explained.

Note that recently registered in the Verkhovna Rada a bill on the inclusion of crypto-assets in the currency reserve of the NBU. Incrypted editorial staff talked about this initiative with one of its authors – Yaroslav Zheleznyak. Soon we will publish a material on it.

Getmantsev and cryptocurrencies

Getmantsev emphasized that he does not personally own crypto-assets, but he has a good understanding of how the market works. He recognizes them as a phenomenon of the future and believes that the state should legalize the circulation of crypto-assets and protect the rights of crypto-investors.

At the same time, he named the main risks of legalization, including tax evasion through the use of cryptocurrency by traditional market participants and the regulator’s lack of expertise.
