Moldova Moves Toward Its First-Ever Crypto Law

[johnblockbuster]

Moldova plans to introduce its first comprehensive cryptocurrency legislation by the end of 2026, aligning national rules with the European Union’s Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation framework. Finance Minister Andrian Gavrilita said the goal is to allow citizens to legally hold and trade crypto assets without recognizing them as a form of payment.

The proposed framework would be developed jointly by the Finance Ministry, the National Bank, financial markets regulators, and the country’s Anti-Money Laundering authority. While the law would legitimize ownership and trading, Moldova’s central bank remains cautious, citing volatility and money laundering risks tied to digital assets.
