The procedure for taxation of transactions using cryptocurencies is governed by the national legislation of the member states. In this case, as a rule, the digital currency is treated as a commodity or an intangible asset, and not as a currency or money. Conclusions.

To date, Ukraine has not yet set up a legislative framework for the regulation of cryptocurrency, but there is a development of provisions and bills that need to be further elaborated.
