Jamaica has no specific cryptocurrency legislation. The Bank of Jamaica does not regulate or endorse crypto but has not banned it. Jamaica launched its own CBDC, JAM-DEX, in 2022 through the National Commercial Bank. Crypto exists in a legal gray area with no dedicated framework.

Ukraine passed the 'On Virtual Assets' law in 2022, establishing a legal framework for crypto. The NSSMC is designated as the primary regulator for virtual assets. Crypto gained significance during the Russia-Ukraine war, with Ukraine receiving over $100 million in crypto donations. Tax rules specify 18% income tax plus 1.5% military levy on crypto gains. Full implementation of the regulatory framework has been delayed due to the ongoing conflict.
