Details: Rozhkova noted that the crypto industry, which has an increasingly significant impact on financial markets, requires unified regulation, including the implementation of the European Union's Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation (MiCA).

"Given that our country has been granted the status of an EU candidate, Ukrainian legislation should also adapt to the MiCA. This will help reduce risks for cryptoasset owners and the financial system as a whole," she said.
