The Ukraine National Commission on Securities and Stock Market held a working meeting with representatives of the US Embassy in Ukraine to discuss financial market development, with a focus on launching comprehensive regulation for the virtual assets market. The Commission noted that the relevant draft law has passed its first reading in the Verkhovna Rada and that it has submitted amendments and proposals reflecting prior feedback from the market and international partners. Discussions also covered technology-driven market development, including the use of distributed ledger technology and the potential to execute transactions in financial instruments without reliance on traditional depository infrastructure. The agenda included implementation of European approaches to digital operational resilience under the Digital Operational Resilience Act (DORA), coordination among the Commission, the National Bank of Ukraine and the Ministry of Digital Transformation, and broader priorities such as capital markets development, facilitating business financing through bond instruments, expanding retail investment opportunities and aligning legislation with European standards.
