The Moldovan Ministry of Finance has begun drafting a Law on the cryptoasset market
According to the ministry, the draft law envisages the transposition of Regulation (EU) 2023/1114 on markets in cryptoassets in order to create a basic regulatory framework for the development and proper, transparent, and secure functioning of the cryptoasset market. Stakeholder proposals on this draft law can be submitted to the Ministry of Finance until December 1. It is worth noting that any activity related to cryptoassets is currently prohibited by law in Moldova. Consequently, there are no regulatory provisions, and the law on payment services and electronic money does not recognize crypto instruments as means of electronic payment. At the same time, the reform agenda in Moldova until 2027 includes the goal of developing a legal framework for regulating virtual and cryptocurrency currencies. As previously reported by InfoMarket, the National Bank of Moldova is expected to approve a legal framework for regulating virtual and cryptocurrency markets. Specifically, by June 2027, the NBM will develop and implement legal regulations that comply with European legislation on cryptocurrency regulation in the EU (the Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation (MiCA)). This regulation covers aspects such as licensing, the introduction of business conduct standards, and a legal framework to prevent abuse in the crypto-asset market, among other things. // 24.11.2025 — InfoMarket.
