On January 16 (UTC+8), Moldovan Finance Minister Andrian Gavrilita said in an interview with national television TVR Moldova that Moldova plans to introduce the country's first comprehensive cryptocurrency legislation by the end of 2026, aimed at aligning its regulatory rules with the EU's Markets in Crypto-Assets (MiCA) framework.

Gavrilita revealed that the new bill will be jointly formulated by the Ministry of Finance, the National Bank of Moldova, financial market regulators and anti-money laundering agencies, aiming to legalize the right of citizens to hold and trade cryptocurrencies, but will not recognize digital assets as legal means of payment for the time being.

Although the National Bank of Moldova has repeatedly issued warnings about cryptocurrency volatility and money laundering risks, Gavrilita stressed that Moldova has a responsibility to regulate it. [Source: Foresight News]
