The National Securities and Stock Market Commission of Ukraine (NSSMC) has updated the list of dubious companies that raise funds for the purpose of allegedly investing in crypto projects by operating digital assets. It was supplemented with 18 more cases.
NCSSM reminded that due to the lack of stable legislation on the regulation of digital assets, this is actively used by fraudsters to attract funds to dubious projects. For Ukrainian citizens, such cryptocurrency investments often end in full or partial loss of funds, the agency said.
The list of dubious projects, according to the NCSSM of Ukraine:
Amega Global Ltd;
HYCM;
ACCUINDEX;
"Duar Soft;
CapitalXtend;
AXIORY;
FONDEXX;
Gonzo Invest;
ForexChief;
Qcent;
VIDEFOREX;
Worldforex;
Bethle Aster;
Forex EuroClub;
VINEX TRADE/TOV "VINEX TRADE";
BITCOINBTC;
"Alex Yanovsky School;
Kievs Credits Union Bank.
The full list of companies can be found on the official website of the Commission in the section "Protection of Investors' Rights".
The NCSM of Ukraine is one of the main regulators of the country. On June 14, 2023, it presented a bill on cryptocurrency for Ukrainians. It is intended to amend the Tax Code of Ukraine and the draft law "On Virtual Assets".
In June 2023, the Incrypted Conference 2023 event featured a panel discussion on "Legalization of Cryptocurrency in Ukraine". In July, a representative of the regulator told about the forthcoming taxation of cryptocurrency income for Ukrainians.
