Ukrainian Finance Minister said  the government is in position  "to block crypto wallets" containing " illegally obtained crypto assets" . (I wonder how to?) .

Ukraine to Block Crypto Wallets for Illicit Funds, Finance Minister Says



They are going to ask crypto exchanges and banks to do KYC of people who do operations with crypto past certain limit - around $1,200, and they will have to report "suspicious" transactions and regulators might order to freeze assets on those online accounts. They also talk how they will be using chain analysis to do their verifications.

Also, there's another interesting line that wasn't in the article - the minister said that they don't see crypto being used by corrupt officials, so it should be legalized in long term to boost economy.

I wonder if crypto holders will pay a crypto tax in case of legalization?

What do you mean by "crypto tax"? People are already supposed to pay a tax on their profits from trading, but since this potential crypto legalization is still miles away - there's no proposed law or even just a plan, no one knows how would the taxes look in case the legalization will happen.
