Ukrainian Politician Vitaliy Kim Declares Bitcoin Holdings
Date: 2024-01-28 Author: Dima Zakharov Categories: IN WORLD
In a surprising disclosure, Vitaliy Kim, the Chairman of the Nikolaev Oblast State Administration in Ukraine, has made a public declaration of his cryptocurrency holdings. According to the National Agency on Corruption Prevention (NACP), Kim has declared ownership of 0.71 Bitcoin, valued at around $30,000 based on the current exchange rate.
This revelation raises questions about the growing interest of politicians in the cryptocurrency market. Vitaliy Kim's declaration follows a similar disclosure made by Ekaterina Kaplyuk, a candidate for the position of head of Ukraine's National Agency on Corruption Prevention (NACP), who declared ownership of 31 digital assets in January.
Interestingly, Kim's cryptocurrency holdings are registered under his spouse's name, Yulia Kim, adding another layer of complexity to the situation. The Bitcoin in question was acquired on March 16, 2022, and is currently held on the popular cryptocurrency exchange Binance.
This move by a prominent Ukrainian politician underscores the increasing importance of cryptocurrency holdings among public figures and highlights the need for greater transparency in this rapidly evolving financial landscape.
