Ukrainian Central Bank: Opposes the current cryptocurrency bill, demands revisions before the final review

According to CoinDesk, the National Bank of Ukraine (NBU) stated that it does not support the current version of the draft for the legalization and regulation of crypto assets, calling on lawmakers to continue revising it before the final vote.The NBU supports advancing regulation by referring to the European Union's Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation (MiCA) and recommendations from the International Monetary Fund, but believes that draft No. 10225-d still does not address its key concerns, and the final text was only delivered on Tuesday night, leaving insufficient time for review and lacking transparency in the legislative process.The NBU warned that foreign tokens not adequately regulated in their place of issuance may enter Ukraine, some of which could function as electronic money, threatening monetary sovereignty and financial stability, and bypassing requirements applicable to domestic similar assets. The NBU hopes to obtain the authority to assess and limit their use when necessary.Regarding market access, the NBU stated that a preliminary compromise had been reached to select three crypto trading platform operators through competition, but the final draft leaves the number of access points for the first five years to the discretion of the securities regulatory authority, raising concerns about monopolies and corruption risks. According to the draft, the National Securities and Stock Market Commission of Ukraine will become the main regulator, with a 5% transitional tax rate applicable to existing crypto assets until the end of 2028, and transactions between crypto assets explicitly exempt from tax.

first_img New York State legislates strict limits on AI companions, prohibiting the provision of anthropomorphic emotional interactions to minors

New York Governor Hochul officially signed a new bill on Wednesday, prohibiting minors from using artificial intelligence chatbots with virtual companion attributes. This is one of the most comprehensive regulatory measures in the United States regarding consumer-grade AI models to date. The bill requires relevant operators, including ChatGPT under OpenAI, to implement reasonable age verification measures, prohibiting the provision of high-risk chatbot features listed in the bill to users under 18 or those whose adulthood has not yet been confirmed.According to the bill, the relevant chatbots are not allowed to output content that may mislead minors into believing they possess life, human attributes, or real emotions. They must not induce adolescents to have the illusion of a mutual emotional, professional consulting, or authoritative guidance relationship, nor can they package generated content as personal opinions. The system is also prohibited from retaining sensitive privacy data related to the mental and physical health of minors. Hochul stated at the signing ceremony that the core goal of the legislation is to sever the emotional binding chain of AI impersonating minors' "friends" or "lovers," protecting the mental and physical health of young people.The children's media advocacy organization Common Sense Media expressed support for the bill, calling it the strictest children's AI safety law in the United States. The tech industry has strongly pushed back, criticizing the overly broad definitions of the provisions and emphasizing that minors should not be deprived of access to cutting-edge learning tools. As of now, companies such as OpenAI and Anthropic have not publicly responded to this.
