The National Bank of Ukraine (NBU) has not yet decided on the possibility of introducing and using its own crypto currency in Ukraine. This was during the international conference Insurance NEXTua said the director of the department of strategy and reform of the NBU Mikhail Vidyakin.
"There is a discussion at the National Bank of Ukraine now - is the third form of money possible. In Ukraine there is cash, there are non-cash. Now the question is debated whether there can be a third form - electronic money, not tied to banking or other financial institutions. Perhaps in the near future this decision will be made, "- said Vidyakin.
Previously, the NBU declared its intention to issue electronic money on the basis of Blockchain-technology in the fourth quarter of 2017.
