On January 16, Moldovan Finance Minister Andrian Gavrilita stated that Moldova plans to introduce its first systematic cryptocurrency legislation by the end of 2026 and maintain consistency with the EU's Markets in Crypto-Assets (MiCA) regulation in its regulatory framework. The relevant laws will allow citizens to legally hold and trade crypto assets, but will not recognize them as legal tender.

Gavrilita pointed out that the government is working with the central bank, financial market regulators, and anti-money laundering departments to develop a legal framework to fulfill its commitment to connect with the EU. He emphasized that crypto assets should be regarded as a highly volatile speculative area rather than a traditional investment, but citizens still have the right to participate in related activities under the premise of compliance.

The report stated that the legislation will be Moldova's first formal crypto legal system. Previously, the Moldovan central bank had repeatedly warned about the price volatility and money laundering risks of crypto assets. Against the background of this legislative advancement, the EU's MiCA came into full effect at the end of 2024, becoming Europe's first unified regulatory framework covering the crypto industry.
