Ukraine is taking another step toward legalizing cryptocurrency . Legislators are now in the last stages of developing a bill intended to better control the market after long-term struggle with confusing rules. Should things go as expected, the bill might be finished and put into use by mid-2025. BREAKING: 🇺🇦 Ukraine is planning to legalize crypto by mid 2025. They are setting the tax rate around 5-10%! BULLISH FOR CRYPTO! pic.twitter.com/8NDDKgn3Ou — Mister Crypto (@misterrcrypto) March 1, 2025 One issue remaining under great contention even if legalization is approaching is the tax policy. The government is weighing a tax rate between 5% and 10%. Another debate, however, suggests using a uniform tax rate akin to ordinary income tax—18% plus a military charge of five percent. Should this program be carried out, the overall tax on crypto transactions might reach 23%. Some groups think that hefty taxes would impede the expansion of the Ukrainian crypto market. Conversely, the administration contends that the nation requires more money, particularly to support military demands and war-torn rehabilitation. This presents a conundrum: would Ukraine actually impede crypto growth with a too strict tax policy, or will it become a new refuge for adoption? Ukraine has long been among the nations most advanced in the usage of digital assets, no mystery about that. The continuous battle has rendered the nation further reliant on cryptocurrency and blockchain technology for donations and financial transactions. Since digital assets are quicker and simpler than more traditional means, many worldwide communities donate them. Still, the legal situation of cryptocurrency in Ukraine has been murky so far. Although the nation established legislation acknowledging the existence of digital assets in 2021, its rules still do not entirely conform with European Union guidelines. Thus, changes to the regulations are still ongoing so that Ukraine may comply with international norms in monitoring digital assets, particularly with money laundering and criminal funding. Legal clarity is much welcomed by investors and entrepreneurs who have long been engaged in this sector. Clear laws will make crypto transactions in Ukraine no longer in a gray area. If the tax policy implemented is too expensive, though, many business players may decide to relocate their activities to neighboring nations with friendlier laws. Some analysts believe Ukraine might develop into one of the biggest centers of crypto adoption in Europe, particularly if the government strikes a mix between rigorous control and laws appealing to investors. In the next few months, the law is supposed to be presented to parliament. Should it pass the first reading, more talks aimed at mid-2025 implementation will be conducted. Still, not everyone has great hope for this chronology. Some officials and outsiders think the legislative process could be slower than expected, particularly given ongoing disputes over tax laws and other technical matters. Nevertheless, this action is nevertheless a significant indication that Ukraine is committed to using crypto’s possibilities in line with its future economic plan.

It’s safe to say that bitcoin went through one of its most painful 24 hours as the asset plunged by over 10%, which in terms of USD meant a $10,000 decline. Such massive volatility not only brought the entire crypto market down but caused mind-blowing liquidation numbers of $1.6 billion on a 24-hour scale. One particular wrecked position, though, caught many people’s attention. Data from CoinGlass shows that nearly 390,000 traders have been wrecked in the past day. Naturally, almost all of the $1.59 billion in liquidations was caused by longs, as they comprise roughly 90% of the total ($1.43 billion). A single whale, though, operating on the Justin Sun-affiliated exchange, HTX, was hit the hardest during this most recent crash by losing $39.62 million. This largest liquidation order involved the BTC/USDT trading pair and represents over 5% of all bitcoin positions that were wrecked today. Cryptocurrency Liquidations. Source: CoinGlass This comes amid a highly volatile and painful day for the cryptocurrency market. Bitcoin’s price started to head south yesterday afternoon, despite Strategy’s most recent purchase, and slipped from $96,000 to $94,000. However, the real turmoil came today as the cryptocurrency plunged to $86,000, which became its lowest level since mid-November. Moreover, BTC’s losses since Friday have extended to over $13,000, and here are some of the potential reasons behind this massacre. After losing such a substantial chunk of its value within mere days, analysts are now torn about whether this is a regular correction during a bull market or it’s all over for this cycle. Ali Martinez noted that BTC has broken down from a parallel channel that started in November. He envisioned an even more steep crash that can take bitcoin south to $80,000. Consequently, he advised investors to be wary as there might be a more favorable time to ‘buy the dip.’ The post Someone Was Liquidated for $40 Million as Bitcoin Slumps by $10K Daily appeared first on CryptoPotato.

The post Tornado Cash Co-Founder Released From Prison, Plans to Focus on Appeal appeared first on Coinpedia Fintech News After Donald Trump pardoned Silk Road founder Ross Ulbricht, calls from the crypto community for the release of the Tornado Cash co-founders surged, drawing significant attention. This momentum led to the release of Alex Pertsev, a developer of the cryptocurrency mixer Tornado Cash, from pretrial detention in the Netherlands. Facing money laundering charges, Pertsev has been released under electronic monitoring, enabling him to prepare his appeal. TORN Rallies As Regulator Releases Tornado Co-founder Alex Pertsev, co-founder of the cryptocurrency mixing service Tornado Cash, has announced that a Dutch court has put a hold on his pretrial detention and allowed him to switch to electronic monitoring as he gets ready to appeal. Alex said, “Freedom is priceless, but my freedom cost a lot of money. My house arrest was only possible thanks to the work of lawyers, who were paid from your donations. My fight is not over yet and for a final and confident victory I still need your help.” The announcement led to a surge in the price of Tornado Cash’s token, TORN, which jumped nearly 20% before settling at $13.72. Dutch authorities arrested Alex Pertsev in August 2022 following U.S. sanctions against Tornado Mixer and its developers. Pertsev faced charges of facilitating money laundering and being negligent in preventing illegal financial activities on the platform. In May 2024, a Dutch court sentenced Pertsev to five years in prison, finding that his involvement with Tornado Cash helped launder criminal funds. The court acknowledged that Tornado Cash could be a neutral tool, but stated that developers had a responsibility to prevent its misuse. After his arrest, the Russian national began actively appealing his conviction and requesting bail. Despite several attempts, his bail requests were continually denied. His defense argues that he merely created open-source software and should not be criminalized for how others choose to use it. Debate Continues Over Developer’s Liability On November 26, the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals directed the US Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) to remove addresses linked to Tornado Cash from its list of blocked individuals and entities. This decision was viewed as a major victory for Pertsev and Roman Storm, another developer of Tornado Cash who was arrested in August 2023 and is awaiting trial.

The ruling also suggested that legislation be updated to better regulate the use of crypto-mixers. Advocates argue that these services are mainly intended to protect user privacy. However, there have been many cases where criminals have used these services to launder money, which has drawn the attention of law enforcement agencies around the world.

Have seen quite a few takes about how tariffs are good for bitcoin or good for the US economy or how this is just market manipulation. But bitcoin is mainly a risk asset. Tariffs this aggressive are very negative for risk assets. And the economy will take a hit. The tariffs announced are considerably worse than what was expected by the market, as gradual tariffs or delayed implementation were seen as alternatives. So the S&P futures will open deeply in the red tonight and flush. The hope for crypto is that it has already dropped a lot in anticipation, considerably reducing the downside. Particularly so for alts, which have been demolished. I'm torn between the entire market putting a major local bottom on Monday, or BTC re-testing the bottom of the range (90k). Maybe both. Then we have to hope retaliation is not extreme. And hope that the US and other countries find common ground fast so tariffs may be pared back fast, and soon. Yes, that's a lot of hoping. Headline risk is going to be major in the coming days. Both ways. News of any agreements would send risk assets soaring. Macro-wise, expect the dollar to surge further at first. Then unless tariffs pared back the US economy would take a hit, weakening the dollar. Tariffs would drive inflation, possibly a one-time hit, possibly not, either way turning the Fed hawkish. Question is how much. More uncertainty. This would be enough to start a sustained bearish trend were not for significant upside risk as well coming from the tax cutting and deregulation fronts, which makes things very murky. I am aware readers generally seek for clear directional ways and reassurance. Unfortunately can't provide that at the time. I still don't think the cycle top is in, and expect equity indices to print ATHs later in the year. But the probability of being wrong has increased. Particularly on the latter. As I said a week ago, I've taken my long-term hat off. This is a traders' market. p.s.: the time to panic was Saturday, not today.
