We believe our cooperation with the Stellar Development Foundation will contribute to development of the virtual asset industry and its integration into the global financial ecosystem,\u201d said Oleksandr Bornyakov, Deputy Minister of Digital Transformation for IT Development. \u201cAnother important aspect of this cooperation is contributing to the development of the infrastructure for a Ukrainian national digital currency. Most of the world&#8217;s leading countries are developing their own national digital currencies. The National Bank of Ukraine has been researching the possibility of CBDC implementation since 2017. It demonstrates Ukraine&#8217;s movement towards one of major financial trends. At the Ministry, we aspire to ensure our country&#8217;s adaptation to technological innovations and competitiveness in the financial market in Eastern Europe.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The memorandum outlines the core focus of the partnership as follows:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>cooperation on the development of the virtual assets market in Ukraine;<\/li><li>provision of support to projects related to virtual assets;<\/li><li>implementation and regulation of stablecoin circulation in Ukraine; and,<\/li><li>facilitation of the development of the digital currency of the Central Bank in Ukraine.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe believe digital assets and national digital currencies are one of the most important innovations of our lifetimes and we are excited to play a role in the creation of Ukraine\u2019s digital asset infrastructure,\u201d said Denelle Dixon, CEO and Executive Director, Stellar Development Foundation. \u201cThrough the leadership of the Ministry, Ukraine has demonstrated its commitment to fostering an environment of innovation for the digital economy. We look forward to working with the Ministry and other stakeholders to digitize the hryvnia, to bring Stellar-based tools and services to the people and businesses of Ukraine, and to introduce new partnership opportunities in Ukraine to businesses in the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.futuresandoptions.gr\/en\/euro-stablecoin-eurb-on-stellar\/\">Stellar<\/a> ecosystem.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Stellar Development Foundation will officially launch its activity with Ukraine in January 2021.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#x200d;&#x200d;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>About Stellar<\/strong>&#x200d;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Stellar is a decentralized, fast, scalable, and uniquely sustainable network for financial products and services.
