The latest analysis of cryptocurrency declarations by Ukrainian officials for the year 2025 reveals significant insights into their holdings, particularly in Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Tether. Overall, officials declared a total of 376 BTC, valued at approximately $25-26 million in fiat currency at the time of reporting. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Leading the Bitcoin rankings once again is Oleksandr Kizliar, a deputy from the Khmelnytskyi District Council, who, along with his wife, declared a consistent 100 BTC. Following him is Oleh Bondarenko, Chair of the Verkhovna Rada Environmental Committee, who reported 80 BTC, moving up from third place last year. Notably, Mykyta Kuzkevych, a deputy from the Odesa Regional Council, who previously held second place with 88 BTC, has completely omitted any cryptocurrency from his 2025 declaration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In terms of Ethereum, the total amount held by officials reached 7,151 ETH. The top holder has changed, with Roman Danylyshyn from the civil-military cooperation unit of the Sviatoshyn TCC declaring 4,716 ETH. However, the value listed in his declaration is puzzlingly low, at just over 195,000 UAH, which is approximately equivalent to 2 ETH at market prices. Following the publication of the article, Danylyshyn corrected his declaration to reflect 4,716 USDT instead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
When it comes to Tether, officials reported holdings worth over $7.1 million, indicating its growing popularity as a stable asset among declarants. This trend suggests that many officials may be utilizing crypto assets as a “digital dollar” rather than for active investment purposes. The rankings for USDT saw significant changes this year, with Hanna Fazykosh, head of the Zakarpattia Court of Appeal, taking the lead by declaring USDT worth more than $1 million. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Interestingly, Vitalii Brovko, who previously led the rankings with over 847,000 USDT, has dropped out of the top 10, despite still listing cryptocurrency in his declaration. Additionally, it was clarified that Vitaliy Kachurovsky, who declared 320,000 USDT, inaccurately listed his position as head of the National Agency for Corruption Prevention, as he is not currently in that role.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
