THE PROBLEM OF LEGITIMIZATION OF NON-CASH PAYMENTS IN CRYPTOCURRENCY

Abstract

The article aims to analyze the legal framework for cashless payments in cryptocurrency and provide proposals to overcome the problem of their legitimization by acts of Ukrainian legislation. The state's long-standing reluctance to legitimize non-cash payments in cryptocurrency is indicated. The state, represented by the National Bank of Ukraine and other central executive bodies, tried to protect the national currency, the hryvnia. Because of this, the state did not legitimize the circulation of cryptocurrencies. It is summarized that in times of war, the state needs a significant number of various resources. Cryptocurrency is also one of the strategic resources that can be used by the state. Legitimization of cryptocurrency transactions and amendments to the Tax Code of Ukraine will increase revenues to the state budget. It is noted that the legal regime of martial law in Ukraine is not a warning against the active legitimization of cryptocurrencies.It is predicted that after the legitimization of cryptocurrencies, the state budget will be able to replenish itself with additional revenues through tax collection, and thanks to the anonymity and irreversibility of cryptocurrency transactions, the volume of Ukrainian exports and imports will increase, and the parties to the agreements will be encouraged to properly, timely and fully fulfill their contractual obligations. Thanks to anonymity, third parties will not know the subject matter of the agreements, and therefore the structure of the means of waging war may unexpectedly change for the better. The methods of waging war may also unexpectedly improve. It is concluded that in the post-war period and with the restoration and development of the Ukrainian economy, the European economy, and the world economy in general, the importance of non- cash payments in cryptocurrency will increase. Therefore, the legitimization of such calculations will be continued in other regulatory acts of Ukraine. The acts mentioned in the article, in particular the Tax Code of Ukraine, will be permanently supplemented.
